CONFIDENTIAL.

26th September, 1935.

Sir,

I am directed to acknowledge receipt of

your confidential letter of 25th September, 1935, and

to inform you that Government finds itself unable to

recede from the position already set out in my letter

of 19th September; in particular the analogy from

commercial practice appears, for the reasons given in

that letter, to be inapplicable.

There will of course be no objection to

this correspondence being referred to in the debate on

the second reading of the Bill.

I am, Sir,

Your obedient servant,

The Honourable

Sir H.E. Pollock, Kt., K.C.

sd. R.A.D. FORREST.

Colonial Secretary.
