LONDON: The British Foreign Secretary, Mr. Ernest Bevin, held a full-dress meeting today [Sept 5] with four of the five British diplomatic representatives in the Near and Middle East who had been recalled by him to London for consultation. The Conference is reviewing the whole of British policy in the Near and Middle East in the light of the new situation created by the end of the war, writes Reuter’s diplomatic correspondent.

The meeting was attended by Lord Killearn, British Ambassador in Egypt, Sir Francis Stonehewer Bird, Ambassador in Iraq, Mr. Terence Shone, Minister in Syria and the Lebanon, and Mr. Lawrence Grafftey Smith, Minister in Saudi Arabia… . Apart from general co-ordination of practical problems arising out of the winding up of various organisations, which formed part of the British war machine in the Middle East, the simultaneous presence in London of these British envoys provides Mr. Bevin with an opportunity to hear at first hand views of men on the spot on the latest developments within the territories to which they are accredited.
