FOREIGN OFFICE, S.W.l.
14th October, 1938.
(W 13544/104/98)
Private and Personal.
Since the Delegation ret from Geneva
we have "been In touch with Sir Herbert Emerson. He Is
making excellent progress after his operation, and he
hopes to "begin very soon to take up the threads of his
work as High Commissioner, and to he fit for full-time
work "by the 1st December.
2. He is of course already carefully considering
the question of appointments to his staff, and we are
anxious to help him as much as we can in this connexion.
As regards the post of Deputy High Commissioner, we have
told him that M. Kullmann of the League Secretariat
would like to "be considered for the appointment, that
we ourselves think that he is well qualified for it and
that/
Monsieur J. Avenol.
that we are in favour of hie appointment. Sir Herbert
is naturally anxious to know your opinion "before taking
any decision, and we understand that he is writing to
you on the subject.' I thought that you would probably
like to know that we would support M. Kullmann* s
appointment, if you were ready to recommend it to Sir
Herbert.
We understand that Sir Herbert hopes to
appoint Duncannon as one of his Secretaries, to take
charge of the German section, if Duncannon is willing
to take the job.

Dear Sir HiWith further reference to my "Letter of Qctober
13th, I have come to the conclusion that it would be more
satisfactory to answer the questions you nut to me verbally
rather than by letter.I have therefore asked Major Abraham to go over
to England to see you. He will arrive In London next Honday,
November 7th, and could go to Sevenotite to Fee you on Tuesday ath. Perhaps you will let him know whether this Is convenient
Abraham should not be delayed so ling.I trust that the progress in your recovery con
tinues satisfactorily.Yours sincerely,
I am looking forward to seeing you when you can
come to fleneva, but I feel that an interview with Major

2. The High commie,loner himself was appointed b, the

year. a. from January let, 1939. It therefor, expired on
Deoember 31et, 1943. I oan trace no record either

,v-r;Dear Sir Herbert,
In the absence of the Seoretary-General, who is away from Geneva on short leave, I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated August 7th, and would like to give you some preliminary information on the questions put by you as regards the indemnity on the termination of contracts.
Personally, I think that the matter will have to be referred to the Board of Liquidation as the Assembly Resolution speaks only of the Secretariat Staff.
The voluntary contribution of the Secretariat officials has been reduced by a decision of the Supervisory Commission by 50 # as from April 1st,1946, contracts of all League officials having been terminated as at July 31st,1946. New contracts have now been given to those whose services have been retained after that date and the voluntary contribution is no longer being applied after July 31st by the Secretariat. This is in accordance with an understanding reached with the Supervisory Commission.
I will submit your letter to the Secretary- General on his return so that he can give you more precise information on the first point raised in your letter.
Believe me, dear Sir Herbert,
Yours sincerely,
Sir Herbert Emerson, G.C.I.E, K.C.S.I.,C.B.E. High Commissioner for Refugees under the Protection of the League of Nations,

ontVV
I heve before me your letter dated August 7th, the reoelpt of whlob has already been provisionally acknowledged by ateneek.
1. I share ateneek's flews that the extension to yourself and your staff of the lust ,esembly's resolution concerning the payment of Indemnities would require a speolal decision by the Liquidation Board, the resolution us passed applying only to the Secretariat staff. I shall therefore. If you so desire,be pleased to put the nutter before the Board et Its next sess-on.
2. as, according to the Assembly resolution passed onApril 18th, the "High Commledloner for Refugees shall remain in office until the end of the year 1946 or such earlier dateus nay appeir to the Board desirable", I thin* the Bo&rd would wish to be Informed of the steps you have taker- with a view to terminating the contractu or your staff and I should o« grateful If you would let ne hnve thin Information In due «°”” ®- It would also be useful If you would let me have • ^ îv.?fry®^î-lo- staff, Indicating their salaries, the beginning of th*lr servloa and the terms of their contracts, especially as regards the termination clauee.
3. The matters mentioned under paragraph (2) will no doubt fall under the arrangements Indicated in the last paragraph of your official letter of August 7th.
With kindest regards.Yours sincerely,
