political responsibility now exercised in Aden ana in
"outnern Arabia by the Colonial Office, that they, too,
should be given an opportunity of commenting on the
proof of the narrative of Aden and the South Coast of
Irabia to be included in the ne- r edition of litchison’s
Treaties. Two copies only of the proof have, however,
been received, and, in order to save time, it is
therefore necessary to deal at once with the
substantive proposals in the Government of India’s
letter of the 20th December, instead of sendin 0
advance copies and letting our observations follow.
The proof has been compared with the
existing Narrative. It contains no mouification or
addition of such importance as to call for special
comment. Tie Treaties and Agreements which it is
proposed to ad^in the new edition are dealt/ with
in paragraph 2 of the Government of India’s letter.
