W.I.5 ? • SIR,—In a few years' time my country
will be independent. Then we shall have our own flag, our own ambassadors and a delegation at the UN. Our Prime Minister will be able to attend meetings of the Commonwealth Prime Ministers and we may be able to afford a small defence force so that our Commander-in-Chief can attend the Chiefs of Staff Conference.
Already we have many able men capable of filling all the important posts. But I am worried about our Intelligence Service. We must, of course, have `agents' in every capital; and we have several people who are quite good at languages. But, if we use them, how will they be able to disguise their colour and their features? As we so often remind ourselves, we are a people of `high visibility,' and our agents would soon be detected.
Does that mean that we shall forever have to rely on the services of `foreign agents'? But how can we really be free if we do not have at least our own spies?
Can you, Sir, or any of your readers, tell us what to do?—Yours faithfully.
WEST INDIAN
