required -or some years but if it would expedite matters,
perhaps appointment could be first made on temporary basis.
I regard it as of greatest importance that probationer should
be appointed as soon as possible. Daly has not had long
leave since 1914 and is over worked; if an officer could be
appointed now and learnt work it would enable Daly later on
in summer to take recess which he probably will badly need
as he is not in good health. Further, presence of Assistant
and consequent relief from petty case work ih his own and in
Joint C 0urt would erTable Daly to go ahead faster with import,
-ant reforms and get them firmly established before he has to
go on leave next spring. Having been out ten years he
cannot wait longer. Assistant Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. could then,
