RATINGS HAD THEIR LEAVE BEFORE,SAILING

Dear Mr. Hore-Balisha,-The First Lord has gone away for a few days, so I am answering your letter of July 25, on the subject of the difficulty about leave of men shortly going to China,

The matter has been locked into, and it has been found possible to grant this leave, and orders have been issued accordingly,

As a matter of fact, the fact that these ratings' request for leave was refused was due to an error which strangely enough did not come to the notice of the authorities until the receipt of your letter.

Yours truly,

(Signed) F. FRY,

Private Secretary.
