COLONEL KETCHUM said that he would be very glad for the J.P.R.C. proposals to be put before the Conference referred to. He believed strongly that reconnaissance was indivisible both between Allies and between Services. There were so many influences tending towards division, and it was necessary to take every possible measure to combat them. Post-War in Europe AIR COMMODORE GRANT said that he entirely agreed with the importance of maintaining joint Anglo-American control. COLONEL KETCHUM said that recent events in the Mediterranean theatre, where decentralisation instead of centralisation was taking place with considerable resultant confusion, strengthened the arguments put forward in the report.
