Governments stick to banks specifically approved.

So

far as I know similar returns are not required from Colonies outside the Eastern group although I know of no

reason to suppose that banks here are any less solvent

than those elsewhere. The labour involved in preparing

the returns here and putting them by in the Colonial

Office might well be saved. If therefore the Secretary

of State should see fit to reply to our latest return

that he doesn't want to see any more I at least should be

grateful.

Yours sincerely,
