This assessment of the position takes no account of certain debts outstanding to this Government since 1941, such as that of over $2,000,000 from the War Office referred to in Sir Mark Young's despatch No. 80 of X10th April, 1947. I shall address you

shortly regarding similar debts due from Governments of India and Burma, and I trust that you will endeavour to secure settlement of these accounts during the present

financial year.
