The only one thing I have to Buy of such interchange, if it becomes commun (and I do not contemplate its

I may say that I think it would make the servics at home, in the Colonial Office for instance, much more popular, if the work of a clerk in Downing-street was diversified by cocasional experience of administration in the Colonies, and if there was an opportunity of men being permanently moved from one side of the service to the other when they showed a decided proference or aptituds for it."
