terms embodied a settlement in which the
Colony was not content to take its stand
on the simple question of obligation, but
extended a practical and generous
co-operation to the limit of its ability
in the new circumstances which are created
by the problem of Air defence both locally

77. I shall be grateful if you will,
in consultation with your advisers,
carefully consider the questions now
raised and will communicate to me with the
least possible delay the information for
which I have asked and your recommendations
as to a basis of settlement which can be
recommended as acceptable to all concerned.
I have, &c.,
(Signed) W. ORMSBY GORE.
