services on the Council of the best European representatives, whom even now it is difficult to get to serve. (This letter is mistaken in supposing that alien urora would be allowed to vote or serve).
I agree very much with Mr. Beckett's minute of 50384, મું. V. except that I prefer nomination by Gov., with the approval of the S. of S., as at present to election by the Jurors. There really seems no reason for any change at all, though I would add Mr. Pollock to the Ex. C. as recommended in 23527. That agitation for reform there was seems to have been factitious and even farcical; such as it was it has completely died down, and the leader of it, Mr. Pollock, will be quite satisfied, I think, by his own appt. to the Ex. C. It would be a pity to tinker with a good and generally acceptable constitution unnecessarily.
I would send copy of this to Gov. and say that on the whole the S. of S. is inclined to think that no change is called for, beyond the appt. of Mr. Pollock to the Ex. C., but say that the Gov. will no doubt raise the question again, if and when he considers more definitely that change is desirable. Observe that Sir P. Chater is under a misapprehension as to the eligibility of aliens to vote or sit under the proposal in 50384.

We should at the same time give ...'s instructions for the appt. of Mr. Pollock to the Ex. C.
As to the term of appt. to the Councils, at present members of the Ex. C. hold their office during pleasure, and members of the Leg. C. for six years. I would offer to have the R. Instructions amended so that the former will hold for five years only and the latter for four, if the Gov. still desires this amendment to be made.
We are not called upon to press a reform which nobody really desires.
