4. STANLEY INTERNMENT CAMP

It is reported from two sources that Dr. Selwyn-Clarke is to be sent to Stanley Camp. 68 said that it was because the Japanese discovered medical supplies in the Red Cross parcels send into P.O.Ws. Camps. These were traced to Dr. Selwyn-Clarke to whom the Japanese objected, not against supplying the drugs but the clandestine way in which it was done.

The second informant - 21 - said he had heard that the Japanese had sent an Indian named ABDULLAH to Dr. Selwyn-Clarke to ask for general guidance. The conversation was reported to the Japanese and rumour has it that the Japanese accuse Dr. Selwyn-Clarke of being in touch with H.B.M. Consul in Macao.

Recently a number of people have approached us offering to get in touch with Stanley. Knowing nothing of these people we have said we are not in the least bit interested, and hope the news gets back to the Japanese, who may well have sent some of these men to us.
