a grant from the Colonial Development Fund the Governor

should be asked to furnish further information as to the

precise nature of the developments proposed and the

prospects of the early inception of a civil air line.

I am to add that the Council agree that any

developments which take place should proceed on the basis

of the layout recommended by Mr. Dawson.

I am further to point out that the following

statement which appears in the memorandum prepared for

the Colonial Development Advisory Committee "It has been

undertaken by the Colonial Civil Authorities principally

because there is some doubt whether our obligations under the

Washington Naval Treaty would permit construction of a

purely military aerodrome" is no longer accurate, as it has

been agreed that there is no doubt as to the right of this

country to construct such an aerodrome.

In these circumstances the Council consider it

desirable that this statement should be removed from the

Mi

memorandum.

I am,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,
