May's proposal (23743) that the P.C.M.O. should not be loved by the appt., but presumably be agreed.

141. As to the officer proposed for the app, it is a new app M. Me. I. Messen (salary $3600). Assistant Land Office

The alternative candidate land M. S. R. Hallifax (asst. Superintendent, Police & Prison Dept). Salary $2400 to $3000 & quarters.

For the sort of man required See Sir M. Nathan's minute of 18/4/07. (enclosure 10 to 23273).

I don't think that the matter should be delayed.

Dr Antrobus I agree with Mr Stübbs

This, being a Cadet appt., head wit To the Palace Salonge Cle?

Dr Pht. Dec. 12. at once

12/12 cum of such urgency approval that we should telegraph (1) & (2) above with the doubtful points outstanding.

3. Reply by telegraph 'await despatch' & ask for further information.

1rFiddes 59/H 12/12.

as to (2), I don't think we trouble. Dollar offices need are always unpaid but it is too late to support that practice.

I am inclined to approve, but by Pal: lut are 43 amcit ment to the section of hart sh. seems to need 163 whi Sury presume & endorse bothay's recommendation of her Merser, who is since the Halligat. She is of bliss a good officer but suffered badly from "smilled head"
