7. Lord Milner trusts that the Government of the Sudan will be willing to support the scheme, and that Earl Curzon will commend it to the consideration of that Government. If the Government of the Sudan are prepared to support it, his Lordship would be glad to learn how far they would be able to contribute towards the cost, and whether they could assist by detailing any of their officials to carry out investigations on the lines proposed.
I am, &c.,
G. GRINDLE.

No. 108.
COLONIAL OFFICE to FOREIGN OFFICE. [Answered by No. 118.]
Downing Street, 22nd June, 1920.
SIR,
I AM directed by Viscount Milner to request you to inform Lord Curzon of Kedleston that he has had under consideration proposals for extended investigations in Africa in connexion with tsetse fly with a view to the introduction of practical measures for the control of the fly.
2. As Earl Curzon is aware, Mr. (now Viscount) Harcourt, when Secretary of State for the Colonies, appointed a Committee, over which the Earl of Desart presided, to inquire into this matter, and the Committee presented a valuable report. [The rest of this paragraph and paragraphs Unfortunately the outbreak of war ....
3, 4, 5, and 6 are in identic terms with paragraphs 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of the letter to the British South Africa Company of 14th May (No. 103).]
2. The Sub-Committee agreed that the grants need not be restricted to men
not yet holding appointments as Entomologists; and that there was no reason now
to limit the number of scholarships approved for any one period to three, as during the War none had been granted.
4.
Grants were approved for the following applicants:- Professor W. H. Brittain, Nova Scotia, fourteen months.
Mr. A. B. Baird, British Columbia, twelve months.
Mr. F. O. Bain, Edinburgh University, twelve months.
Mr. H. Hargreaves, Imperial College of Science and Technology, nine months.
Mr. J. C. Gardner, Imperial College of Science and Technology, nine months.
Mr. G. S. Cotterell, Imperial College of Science and Technology, nine months. The Sub-Committee agreed that the pre-War grants would now be inade- quate; these were £250 per annum with £50 additional to meet travelling expenses in America. The grants approved by the Sub-Committee were :-
£300 per annum with £150 for travelling, including the cost of passages to and from America for all applicants living in the United Kingdom, but the sum for travelling for applicants outside the United Kingdom must depend upon the circumstances of each case and the work contemplated in America, e.g., work on a given subject at one centre or investigations involv- ing travelling from place to place.
The sum approved for travelling in the case of Professor Brittain and Mr. Baird was £20; in all the other cases, £150.
3. Dr. MacDougall stated that in his opinion students who are granted these scholarships should be prepared to accept, if considered suitable, Government employment at the end of their tour in the United States. Dr. Marshall reminded the Sub-Committee that the difficulty was that no promise could be given of an offer of appointment and that the student, if he did not obtain such employment, might think that he had been misled. The Sub-Committee agreed that there could be no objection to Dr. Marshall informing successful applicants (not already holding appointments) that it is assumed that they will be prepared to consider an offer of Government employment in the Colonial Service, if the Secretary of State should be in a position to offer them an appointment.
In the case of Mr. Bain, it was agreed that Dr. Marshall should inform him that it is noted that he is prepared to accept an offer of a Government appointment outside this country, on completion of his studies in America.
