modified by the decision of His Majesty's Government
to sigi the Optional Clause, and, pending further
investigation of the policy to be adopted in future in
regard to general treaties of arbitration, it seems
impossible to commit ourselves (even if other
objections did not exist) to an undertaking such as that
suggested by the Minister of Court. In these
circumstances, the course proposed by the Foreign
Office seems the best to adopt and, subject to any
observations the E. & 0. Department may wish to offer,
it is suggested that we might concur in the draft
instructions to Sir Robert Clive forwarded by them.

For information and observations. Do you
concur in the draft? It will be noted that the
instructions cover the proposed arbitration provisions
in the Commercial Treaty as well as in the general
Treaty.
