Concession, we agree, subject to the views of the other Departments concerned, that,

might for the present say no more to them about Condition " D." We have done

M any thanks for your letter of 9th May,* enclosing a note of Parkinson's talk
with Lombardi and Ballantyne.
Referring to the question of British employees, the employment of the two British
engineers is satisfactory, but the excuse about British drillers not being available appears
lame.
The Admiralty view is that the Americans should be made to honour their under
taking and that evidence of this should be forthcoming while we still have some hold on
them.
I am sending a copy of this letter to Starling.
Yours, &c.,
H. R. MOORE
