and the poem destroyed.
The third requisite which is also recommended should be observed
in correspondence, is writing in chemical inks, that is, with
such inks that it is impossible to read them without special
adaptations. If a secret Party letter falls into the hands of the
police written in invisible ink they must first of all guess that
it is written in invisible ink; the open text of such letters must
be made perfectly blameless, for example, a son is writing to his
mother that he is alive and well and of the good things he wishes
her. Not a word about revolution. The police must guess first
of all that under this apparent innocent text there is a hidden
text. Having discovered this secret the police tumble against the
cipher. If they succeed in deciphering the cipher, they stumble up
against a code and they have still to decipher that code. But all
this takes time in the course of which the police can do nothing.
If the police succeed in reading it in the course of two or three
weeks, then by that time the Party organization has been able to
cover up all the consequences of the question which was written
about in the letter.
What kind of invisible ink should be used? Invisible inks exist
in a very great number. They can be bought in any chemist’s shop.
Finally, comrades must use the latest inventions of chemistry
in this direction. The simplest invisible ink which can be
recommended and which can be found everywhere, is, for example,
onion juice and pure water.
