DS & LEESE. FRESHFIELD.

HARGREAVES, Large, MARTIN,

CHRISTOPHER LOWTHER.

Telegrams: "FRESHFIELDS, STOCK, LONDON"

Telephone: 7760 CENTRAL,

New Bank Buildings, 31, Old Jewry (E.C.2)

and we submit that this might be treated as sufficient compliance

with the provisions of the Act. If Mr. Falk is to be required

to actually reside on store, it means that he must give up his

employment for a period of twelve months, the Company losing his

services during that period.

May we point out that under Sec.2(3) of the Act of 1914

there appears to be a discretion vested in the Secretary of State

to grant Certificates of Naturalisation in exceptional cases, for

that sub-section gives him power not only to withhold certificates

but also to give them as he thinks most conducive to the public good.

We hope that in the circumstances which we have mentioned,

Mr. Falk's application may be granted and if there is any further

information which you desire to have for dealing with the matter,

we shall be happy to endeavour to obtain it for you.

We are, Sir,

Your obedient servants,

Messrs. Freshfield

The Under Secretary of State for the Colonies,

The Colonial Office,

WHITEHALL. S.W.1.
