Jakins ought to have. I think that the view of the

see that he would have any grounds for complaint. But
he has in fact received Re.95 a month more than this,

not a mere mistake on the part of the accounts

ment of India.
If the above views are accepted, the only action
that seems to he called for is to ask the Government of
India to make the purely accounting adjustments
referred to in the first part of paragraph 2 of the
draft letter^ so as to secure compliance with the
provisions of the Superannuation Act.
I presume that one half the expenditure is borne
by the Foreign Office, hut if the view at & above is
correct, it would seem that they have no alternative
tut to accept the charge without question, see the
