them: at the present time, difficult though it is in

many ways, I would rather that they were not so placed.

3. Ordinarily I should feel so sure of your

consent to this measure that I should not deem it

necessary to seek your prior approval of it. My reason

for taking that course is that the point was raised

recently in the House of Commons by Mr. R. Sorensen, M.P., (vide your note 1.3 of 14th April) in reply to whom Sir

Thomas Inskip gave a justificatory answer for which I am

very grateful. It is the case, however, that I have

for some time been contemplating action on the lines

proposed.

4. I shall be glad to learn that you approve the introduction of this bill into the legislature.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

Adharthest

Governor.
