2 O < CO I 2 Ul h f- E LU m g o * — I f- O 2 AR:DH Minutes + 0 2~ We sent the State Department some Ghadr party propaganda in April, 1936, (260/3/36) with the suggestion that they might he interested in it "in view of the connexion known to exist "between the Communist International and the Ghadr Party" I don't see why we should not do the same again. The United States authorities are making a great to-do now about extremist literature and they are more likely to pay attention to Ghadr propaganda now than they were then, even though it hardly affects the United States. I also don't see why we should not recall the action they took in 191U-1918, mentioned in the India Office's letter. Draft note to State Department herewith. As a matter of fact we have heard nothing about the Ghadr party since 1936 and an Indian recently come from California told me that there was no life left in it and that the leaders were either old or dead or had left the country. (In the last war it "blossomed into the so-called "Hindu- German conspiracy"). The India Office nevertheless definitely describe the "Hindustan Ghadr" as being published in San Francisco and they must know what they are talking about. January 3Cth, 19U0 .7- Minutes.
