Dear Monoleur Noradoughlan,

I enclose, herewith, for your Information, a oopy of a letter whloh Ib being addressed by the üeorotary-General to members of the League and other Interested Governments, enolOBlng a proponed plan and model Identity Oertlfloate for Armenian .;e "ugeee.

7he form of the plan and model oertlfloate have been arrtved at In an effort to aeoure the maximum benefits for the refugees whilst bearing In mind the maxlt-ma oonoes- elons which veoent our experience In connection with the issue of Identity; Certificates to Hue.a I an Hefugoee and re­cent conversations with Goveramentèa ropreeentatlves leads at) to expect the various Governments to afford without con­siderable discussion and consequent delay.

I had not overlooked tho fact that it v/as your desire to see a provlcion In the Certificate according the right to the refugee to return to the issuing country, but this would have Involved a radical departure rom the form of the existing oertlfloate calculated to endanger the whole ouo- oess of the project.

A upaoe hao, however, been inserted In the oertlfloate providing for the authorisation of the refugee'e return to the ititiuing oountry and a opeolal recommendation made in the plan and accompanying letter to afford this conoeaelon in all poaslble oases.

If experience shows after the ayatem hie been In prao- tloe that refugees are etlll seriously handicapped by the at>aenoe of u definite provision on the oertlfloate for their return, roprésenta;,lono oould always be made by the Coun- oll requesting iovernments to agree to the necessary modlfl- oation, and with better ohanoes of euooess»

In those olroumetv.noes, I should be grateful for a re­ply, by return of post if poeelble, Informing mo that In principle you are ciatlafled with the proposals now made, in order that Governments may be invited to accept them without

I shall endeavour to obtain a resolution in aupport of this plan from the Council at its forthcoming meeting.

Believe mo, dear Monsieur Moradoughâân, Yours Blnoerely,

Assistant High Commit; si oner for Refugees.
