| X1775 To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}21/KW.16.1.35. Replying to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}1/T.12.1.35. In the case of people who do not consistently send representatives to America as we do, this might undoubtedly be a very useful arrangement; In our case, however, any information they could give us would be second-hand, whereas with our American visits we do get first-hand information: Therefore we do not recommend that we use these people at present.
