2. With regard to Rehabilitation

loan I have

under

ci

my belegram

agreed reference that an additional payment of $5 millions showed be made to Sinking fund. Up to date only $50 millions of the loan has been raised while loan expenditure

chas considerably exceeded this. Assuming

not feasible to raise further

it is not

instalment of set preferable to against sumplus balances such portion of this

loan would it not be

expenditure

con

uncovered loan

as would leave (Bay)

the equivalent of six months revenue in reserve to provide against unforeseen

tingencies. This would have additional advantage of presenting

financial picture which is more

a

realistic and

conducive to the

more likely to be

ассер

tance of

additional taxation. This matter

Could if necessary form separate subject of discussion with the Treasury

Follows' visit here. It would

during me any case of discussions

be deniable to await outcome outstanding claims before finally

deciding the matter.
