At that time it was planned that one of the members of the Commission would proceed to London, accompanied by various members of your Economic Staff, and these allocations were to be discussed there as a matter of urgency.<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;padding-bottom:5px;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">The voyage to London has for the time being been abandoned, and I understand that the matter of the Free Sterling allocations has remained in suspense. In the meantime the 15th May is drawing nearer, and it is a matter of pressing urgency for bankers and other responsible persons and bodies in Palestine to know what the position will be after that date. May I, therefore, draw your attention to this particular point and suggest that; whatever the Commission&#8217;s attitude may be on matters of a political or more, general nature, the British Delegation should be approached and the Commission&#8217;s specific proposals should be placed before them as a matter great urgency.<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;padding-bottom:5px;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">I am and rain at the Commission&#8217;s disposal for consultations.<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;padding-bottom:5px;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">Yours sincerely,<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:right;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">(signed) S.
