Dear Mr. secretary,
In his letter of December 7th
regarding the proposed American bases in
Trinidad, the Ambassador enclosed four
memoranda which had been prepared by Sir
Hubert Young, the Governor of Trinidad.
At the request of the Governor, I now send
you an extract from his despatch of October
2Pnd last to the Secretary of State for the
Colonies in which he summarised the objections
which were felt to Che proposals of the United
States authorities and pointed out the advantages
of the alternative scheme of establishing the
United   tates base in the reclaimed Caroni area.
This extract, Sir Hubert Young feels,succinctly
summarises the points which he made at the
meeting/

in their consideration of the problem.
Believe me,
Dear Mr. Secretary,
Very sincerely yours,
