- Re your paragraph (1) and (3) see our NA 9144.

- Your paragraph (2) Wackrill just arrived. No discussions as yet. Will advise later.

- Your paragraph (4). We agree that nations not now signatory and not coming under paragraph 4 of agreement should in due course be notified and not at this juncture pressed to become signatories. Later developments will indicate whether it will be necessary for such nations to become signatories or whether they can be dealt with through warrant control.

- Your paragraph (5). We still believe it would be better to give Norway chairmanship of tanker allocations sub-committee and that logically British should have ship warrants. You can point out that British have chairmanship of Planning Committee. [Land.]
