This is an old question, see:minutes on 5700/13.

The latest conf. report on Mr. W. is just below this

sheet. We cannot accept it fully, yet we can scarcely

disregard it entirely (though I think it is actuated by

bias). I see that Mr. W. has been acting as A.D.C. to

the Gov.

We tried to give :Mr. W. a chance of fair play

by offering him the post of Ch. Pol. Off. Singapore:-

but, see 33918/13,he foolishly declined it, not rea-

lizing that it would probably lead to the appt. of Insp.

Gen.

I think we had better register this letter from Mr.

Stubbs and bring up when we get the:Gov.'s re commen-

dations for the post of Capt. Sup.
