At the request of the Guardian I am sending you enclosed the
programme of “The New Commonwealth”, a society for the
promotion of international law and order, having its headquarters
in London, and which seems to have a wide and well selected
membership. The Guardian wishes the British N.S.A. to consider
the possibility of their joining this organisation, and to carefully
investigate whether any affiliation with that body involves any
political allegiance or may indirectly and eventually lead to
participation in any form of political activity. In the contrary
case, he strongly advises the N.S.A. to join that organisation, as
he feels that in this way the friends can give a wide and effective
publicity to the teachings of the Cause. Membership in non-political
organisations of this type is, indeed, the best method of
teaching indirectly the Message by making useful and frequent
contacts with well-known and influential persons who, if not
completely won to the Faith, can at least become of some
effective use to it.
