Mr. Bracken

A proposal has been submitted through the proper channels for the release from the Army of the Marquess of Dufferin and Ava in order that he may be appointed in an acting capacity to this post. Pending a decision Lord Dufferin has been loaned by the War Office in order temporarily to carry out the duties of Director. His salary if appointed would be on the range £1,000 to £1,200 which has been approved by the Treasury.
