Council respecting the registration of British

The draft Order is printed in large type, and

the paragraphs in small type are notes by Sir H. de

Sausmarez on the provisions of the Order.

am to suggest that it would be desirable that

your Department should depute one of its members to

discuss this question at an early date with repre-

sentatives of the Board of Trade and of this Depart-

ment, and I am to propose that the meeting should

take place in the near future at the Foreign Office.

I am, Sir,

Your most obedient,
