Sir M. Ommanney spoke to me about this subject, Preltyman called on me and I have spoken to you as well. I think we shall be able substantially to satisfy the Admiralty, while maintaining the principle for which the Government contends, but you said that we should write to Capt. Pretyman for an answer to para. 3 of our Letter 20834, before we deal with this letter officially.
G. W. Johnson (AF)
