the scope of the clous® either by interpretation or
textual aaen&iaent* considerable further delay will be
inevitable before the Agreement can be signed; and I under
stand that Your Lordship wishes that signature should take
plaee as soon as possible. I should perhaps add that no
form of v/ords that oould be invented can be counted on as
certain to obviate the challenge of individual items in
the future*
&• In these circumstances I should be glad of Your
Lordship 1 ^ instructions as to the interpretation of Article
4 # paragraph 2 of the Agreement in general and in the
present instance, which may bo regarded as a test case as to
whether I am to insist on the inclusion of the challenged
items in the official list.
A further question which, although it docs not
affect the agreement, affects very considerably the proper
maintenance of the cable stations, arises from the diffi
culty of obtaining fresh fruit and Vegetables, and other
provisions at# the different stations. owing to the
workings of the Trade Monopoly Law it is impossible at a
place like Jaslc to buy a bunch of bananas off a passing
vessel without a license from the Council of Ministers.
Sir Robert Clive represented to the jlnlster for Foreign
Affairs
