It was on his advice that the government in 1940 sent out Paterson to sift those detainees whose sympathies were genuinely with the Allied cause. After Maxwell had retired, James Chuter Ede, taking the chair for Maxwell's Clarke Hall lecture in 1949, said that: On 10 July 1940 the Security Executive, in response to communist propaganda against various government departments, approached the Home Office to consider the drafting of a new defence regulation making it an offence to attempt to subvert duly constituted authority. Maxwell and Sir Horace Wilson were against the idea and Maxwell wrote to the Home Secretary, Sir John Anderson, with a minute on the 6 September 1940 that exemplified his libertarian ideals: Sir John called this minute ‘a most admirable statement of principle’ and the proposed new regulation was dropped. Lord Allen of Abbeydale echoed the comments of others and commented on Maxwell: On 10 August 1948 it was announced that Maxwell was to retire at the end of September, and that Sir Frank Newsam had been appointed to follow him as Permanent Secretary at the Home Office.
