The Guardian wishes me to draw the attention of the friends
through you that they should be very careful in their public utterance not to
mention any political figures -- either side with them or denounce them. This
is the first thing to bear in mind. Otherwise they will involve the friends in
political matters, which is infinitely dangerous for the Cause.
