Grant Smith who is desirous of being proposed as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize of 1910.\n\n2. I desired Mr. Smith to address Your Lordship direct since I do not appear to be a \"qualified person\" within the terms of the enclosure to Your Lordship's Circular Despatch of the 23rd of last September, and I am directed by the Circular to make known its conditions to persons qualified to nominate candidates.\n\n3. Had the nomination rested with myself I should not have been able to arrive at the conclusion that Mr. Grant Smith is a qualified person, but the point we have assumed is worth considering in the light of the part of `XCR(85)72` and `GR1178/1922/32(III)` or `Australia 10068/8` – that Minister of self-governing Dominions fall within the definition. After this application has been \"dropped off\", the question of a reference of this point to the Nobel Committee can receive consideration in consultation with the Dominions Dept. Meanwhile, I have telegraphed to the Governor of Hong Kong expressing regret that I am not fully able to give Mr. Grant Smith a nomination.\n\nI think I should ask the Nobel Committee, through the Foreign Office, the qualifications of (1) Ministers and members of Parliament in self-governing Colonies; (2) members of Parliament in Crown Colonies and Protectorates; (3) Governors.\n\n### NO. 2169 \n### RECR 145 \n### 22 JAN 10 \n\nMy Lord,\n\nThe Earl of Crewe\n\nI am looking at this.

Correspondence is essentially limited, and it is not possible to anticipate and deal with all the points. It was presumed that it would hardly be considered. It may be possible for the S. to attain satisfaction.\n\nThat the deputation have to say something in consideration. It seems a lot that it would be public agitation.\n\n### After the Deputation\n\nAfter the withdrawal of the deputation, Fr. Thomas discussed with us the baptiziams of Kanping, the department committed to its proper functions as a purely consultative body, a sub-committee of the Medical Council.
