sir,

I am directed by Mr. Secretary Shortt to

refer to your letter of the 27th January last (which

he regrets was for a time inadvertently mislaid) and

to your letter of the 8th ultimo on the subject of

the naturalization of members of the mercantile marine,

and to say for the information of Mr. Secretary Churchill

that service in British Transports has not generally been

regarded as service under the Crown for the purpose of

Section 2 ofthe British Nationality and Status of

Aliens Act, 1914, but that in any case doubt the Lords

Commissioners of the Admiralty have been consulted whether

a particular man's service mayproperly be regarded as

service under the Crown.
