It would be of great interest to my Osmittee to know whether the principle of making general surplus mmy funds in the hands of the Imperial Government available for the satisfaction of claims of British Creditore in diffrent parts of the Empire has been or is likely to be adopted by the perial Authorities.

If the principle be admitted it appears only equity that local claims should be a fires charge on local surpluses remitt-

to the Crown Agents,

4.

My Committee unddrstand that the prier right consider- -stien of local creditors vas admitted in the Singapore Alien Inemy Winding-up Ordinmos where local claims wore satisfied in full before non-resident British Creditors teck any part of the Ertate,

I have sto..
