I agree, but think that the
passage which I have enclosed
in square brackets might, with
паска
advantage, we omitted.

Mr. Mason
While I agree that the passage in the minutes at
No. 138 recording the Prime Minister's summing up could be interpreted in the way MOD (Air) apparently
intend to do so, that would not in my opinion be the
natural meaning to attach to these minutes. I would
argue stoutly that the natural meaning is that
Ministers agreed that we must station Hunter aircraft in the Colony; and that the only aspect of this proposition which is now to be given further examination is the possibility that these aircraft might be manned
and serviced from local resources. This, as I say, is
quite definitely to my mind the natural meaning; and I suggest that in any further contact with the MOD (Air) we must stoutly maintain that this is the interpretation to be put on the minutes.

I agreed with you that the last bit of the draft
should be amended. Please see the way I have reworded
it.
You will see that I have committed you to getting the latest state of play on this particular proposition
during your forthcoming visit to the Colony: but I imagine you would have been doing this any way!
