Your demi-official letter of 9th March.
Owing to a mistake in‘my office I got the date of the
next mail 27th, so sent you a wire about the matter, which
now proves to have been unnecessary•
I enclose a copy of a demi-official letter I have sent
to Wilson on the subject of article 1 and R. As a matter of
fact, I think the draft agreement quite a good one, but in
view of the fact that the Colonial Office went so thoroughly
into the matter and discussed it so elaborately, I dont see
how I can recommend things that they have not discussed
(article l) or decided not to recommend (article 8).
I am afraid this will delay the matter and be very
annoying, but it can^ be helped. Perhaps Wilson will decide
to put the two articles through without any recommendation
from us, and obtain Government’s approval after. T expect
this would be the most expeditious way of doing it.
I return the draft agreement of which I have kept a
copy for reference.
