FOREIGN OFFICE, S.W.1.

12th November, 1945.

Dear Money,

Please refer to your letter of the 29th October (FSR/PW 353/4) enclosing passage applications for China in respect of Captain MacAdem and Mr. Hackston. As there are now no longer difficulties with the Chinese in connexion with British subjects going to China, and as it is now primarily a question of securing travel accommodation from here to the East, I think the Foreign Office need no longer act as a co-ordinating agency for these applications and that in future it is better that the departments most immediately concerned should themselves sponsor travel applications.

This would both tend to save time and be more in accordance with normal procedure. In the present case of these two shipping men, your own department would presumably be prepared to sponsor their

, applications.

In the event of there again arising any difficulty with the Chinese, we shall of course do all we can to help.

Major-General

K.C. Money,

Yours sincerely,

Sgd (G.V. Kitson)

Ministry of War Transport.
