Note CANBERRA, 24 November 1948
The attached papers [1] were discussed at J.I.C. meeting today.
[2] You’ll see that there are many things quite out of line with us.
Apart from a few amendments the C’ttee all agreed to the paper.
I have made it clear that I’m not in a position to endorse it.
See paras 7-15 & 18-23. [3] The amended report will be sent up in a day or two. Miss Wilson can show you if you want. [4]
