practical one at this stage.

There are other technical

and changes in the law

points which I do not propose to go

of Tax

into. As regards rates this was, of

course, outside Pudney's own scope.

The Governor himself has not indicated

what rates he proposes.

We therefore

intend to urge upon him that he should

not be tied to the 1941 rates and that

they should be put up as high as possible.

We also propose to emphasise the Secretary

of State's desire that normal Income Tax

shall be introduced as soon as possible.

You will, I imagine, look upon

land is

the above primarily as a progress report,

though we hope that you will share our

satisfaction that real progress is being

ma de. We feel, however, you should have

an opportunity of comment before we actually

send our telegram to the Governor, and I

of the

therefore enclose the' draft. Perhaps you

is

The net ductin I the lar not whe delayed with

would let me know as soon as possible whether

you agree.

I am sending a copy of this to t

Gilbert of the Board of Inland Revenue,

who has been concerned with the technical

discussions with Pudney.

Yours sincerely,

Craquent

To kvenne,
