Mr. Lambert, Secretary of the London Metal

Exchange, enquired by telephone what had been the

result of Mr. Branson's enquiries. I said that he

had sent us a Report but that in accordance with the

understanding recorded in my letter of the 22nd of

July we had assumed that Messrs. Griffiths would at

the same time report to the London Metal Exchange

عمر

and had therefore not sent a copy of Mr. Branson's

Report. Mr. Lambert later telephoned again to say

that he had spoken to Messrs. Griffiths and that there

appeared to be some misunderstanding as they had

assumed that a copy of Mr. Branson's Report would be

sent to the London Metal Exchange. They had themselves

copies of some notes of Mr. Branson's, but were not

sure that these were identical with his final Report.

They are going to supply copies of these notes to the London Metal Exchange, but I agreed th

that it would

be desirable that we should send the Metal Exchange

a copy of the Report so as to make quite sure that

they had the full story. We were rather reluctant

to send the Report in the first instance, but now

that they have definitely asked for it I think we can

hardly refuse. I gather that the question has again

become active owing to a new complaint of discrepancy.

Draft herewith.
