1. REPORTS FROM SERVICE ADVISERS.

[AM/386.]

2. UNITED NATIONS DAY. (See Minutes of March 12th).

Mr. Royds enquired if it were the intention, as appeared specific from the War Cabinet minute, to arrange a march past of contingents of the armed forces of all the United Nations on June 14th. He instanced what he felt to be the difficulties. The Chairman ruled that the minute obliged the Ministry to approach the War Office to invite contingents from the United Nations, but if the War Office found the difficulties insurmountable then we could accept the position.

N.B. No Minutes were issued yesterday, April 21st.

There will be no meeting of the Executive Board on Monday, April 26th.
