"The
Imperial Govaramont fully realises that a'ou sitation must-come, but it thinks that a period of not less than three years is necessary in order to make the requisite preparations, Meanwhile the Senate is sitting and is carrying on the functions apportaining to a Parliament. There can be no doubt that tho establishment of a Constitution will onhance the general pros perity of the country and consolidate the rela tions between the Central Government and the people."
