locally from United Kingdom funds. These four items
represented the total contribution that the Colonial Office
were prepared to make on behalf of H.M.G. towards the cost
of Captain Sinclair’s employment at Aden. In paragraph 4
of their letter, the Colonial Office stipulated that they
should not be asked to pay either (a) for Captain Sinclair’

In view, however, of the agreement definitely reached in
1932 and of the stipulation contained in paragraph 4 of
