fairly general form of words rather than to particularise by a reference to legislation enacted by the Central Legislature only.
Sir M. Young said he could certainly accept the new phraseology suggested, but hoped that we could use the words "will of course be expected to act" rather than "will of course have to act", which is what I had originally suggested to him. I certainly don't see any objection to this myself.
Sir A. Grantham said that he was principally concerned with para. 3(a), dealing with the distribution of seats on the Municipal Council. He said he still liked his suggestion in his letter at No. 77, namely that there should be a general paragraph somewhere at the end of the despatch saying that in the light of experience it may be necessary to alter the constitution, powers, functions etc. of the Municipality; but he said that the present draft of para. 3(a) certainly covered his point and that he is quite content to accept it.
Neither Sir A. Grantham nor the Foreign Office or Treasury are aware of the revised form of words shown in ink in para. 3(g) of the draft, but I am quite sure that there is no need to consult them on this particular point.
I therefore re-submit the draft.
