more effective observance of Part II

of the Convention, are practicable

in their respective territories.

I am accordingly to request

that immediate steps may be taken

to examine the Advisory Committee's

obtaining in North Borneo, either by the

appointment of a local Committee (as

determine and that His Grace may be

furnished by the end of May at latest informatio

with a memorandum (for the Interm

of the British delegation to the proposed Watemahmot Conference) containing a full expression

of the views of the Court on the

suggestions which have been made, and

submitting any alternative suggestions

which the Court may consider to be of

value.
