It was proposed to retain 023,000 tons, of which 50,000 tons of ma terini in short supply would be rew. turned to the United Kingdom.

The remainder would be used to meet the needs of our forces in the Middle East, and the remaining $27,000 tons were being offered to the Ministry of Supply for liz- posal.

It was hoped that the stores in Palestine which we wished to re- tain would be moved by August next.
