To al intents and purposes he seems determined and very adamant that unless the delegation can see someone of a rank above Lord Shepherd they, or he himself, at least, 'would not see anyone in the British Government.

3. I do not know whether anything useful can be done to satisfy these people, but it would be very unfortunate if the present mission came to

we have done just an unhappy ending in spite of all the hard work because we are not able to arrange

for them to see Mr. Thompson

for only a couple of minutes. I fully appreciate that you have done your best, but I would appeal to you once again for another approach

to be made to Mr. Carter, urging him to re-consider the matter in the light of the delegates' very strong feelings over the matter.

4.

Should there be anything you want to discuss with me before my return please telephone me at the Adelphi where we will be staying, from the 2nd to the 7th of February.

5. I am copying this letter to David Akers-Jones so that he will also be in the victure.

Yours wer David
