telegram of the 22nd November, 1946. These dates are the

latest by which the information is required and, as

you will readily appreciate, leaves available to the

Colonial Office only the minimum of time to arrange issues before the close of the year. It is hoped that every

effort will be made to ensure that the information is

furnished to the Colonial Office well in advance

of those autos.

5. I should also remind you that in no case

should expenditure on schemes be included in those

telegrams in anticipation of my approval. Until a new

scheme or a variation of an existing scheme has been

formally approved no issuc on account can be made by

the Colonial Office.

6. Finally, I would suggest that if any particular

comment is required with regard to any scheme on which

an issue is requested this should be included at the

end of the incue telegram or, if preferred, in a

separate tclogram a reference to which should be given

in the telegram requesting the issue.

SECUR.

156 End.
