Downing Street,

7 April, 1922.

while other Goverment Department employees are not so charged. As I understand that Army officials are charged this income tax I should be glad if you could say whether this has reference to Clonial officials.

I was under the impression that Colonial Officials did not pay the Home Income Tax at all.

Yours sincerely,
