Although Sir David Trench's
commission does not expire until next
Spring, there is already considerable
local pressure within the Colony for
с
his term of office to be extended. In Kas
aries
view of this I think we should announce
very soon whether or not we are going to
extend Sir David's term. For the
reasons given in this minute I very
much hope you will agree that we may
offer him an extension of one year,
subject to his continuing physical
fitness and a medical examination.

I am sending a copy of this minute
to the Foreign Secretary.
