State rights against Government and as long as he remains
relations with State will he very difficult. He has in-
- ferried State that he disapproves of policy of Government
and this, in case of State where circumstances compel us
to exercise large measure of interference,renders his re-

to ^ou jharged JLgenc^ with falsifying figures, and thus
prevented any. possibility of that collahoration which is
essential if things are to go smoothly, and Powle presses *

it is desirable if suitable officer forthcoming, that posts

combinea, at any rate, temporarily, ana this would have other
advantages which I am intimating by air-mail, i^edgcock
could not he given command of levies. No contract with
