Hi & Robenser has always strongly objected to paying $20,000 from Sony Kary Qurus per military protection [at $40 a head, or $500 for 12 men] and has proposed that instead of doing so, the tolong chale should be paid for one or two.

He kept constant pressure for moving to the suppression of Piracy in the neighboring waters, and maintained (2nd paragraph) that it should be at the cost of, and under, its command.

In King King, it was decided against pointing out that their puister was under the Duke of Revearthe.

In July, it was decided that this plan pointing to joint British and internal action under the "Foreign Government" was at first attracted by the CRJ scheme; but it is cordially mortified that all operations should be conducted at the instigation & under the control of those who are interested.

In conducting operations, it can be said that two parties interested effectually, & cheaply, without the authority of the other, would buy effectual cooperation.

But on the other hand, H. Colonial Govt. Baght that its operations should be effected & cheaply, will not be deterred by slight attend from carrying out its way.

On the other hand, the Admirals appear to favour the scheme.

Their Unit brings to interdict the precaution of making H. Colonies contribute in kind to reduce the naval as well as the Military Estimate.

There is at present going on a systematic endeavour to promote military contribution from Colonies, leaving naval defence alone, for the present - and it is convenient, especially in carrying out teftar.
