1. SALARIES AND ALLOWANCES, WE SUGGEST THE FOLLOWING:
ર

THE M.K.G WOULD REIMBURSE THE HOME OFFICE AND THE METROPOLITAN
POLICE THE FULL COST OF THESE FOR THE PERIOD OF THE ADVISERS'
STAY.
(B) H.K.G, IN ADDITION TO PAYING THE COST OF HOTEL ROOMS, WILL PAY A NON-ACCOUNTABLE DAILY ALLOWANCE, TO COVER FOOD, ENTERTAINMENT AND OTHER EXPENSES OF FIFTY POUNDS STERLING A

12. I HOPE THAT IT WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR THE ADVISERS TO ARRIVE

SHORTLY BEFORE THAT DATE,
13. IT WOULD BE DESIRABLE FOR CRANE TO GIVE A SHORT PRESS CONFERENCE ON ARRIVAL, BUT WE WILL TELEGRAPH ABOUT THIS SEPARATELY.
