jO 0 . At this point I reminded His Excellency of his
proposal, reported in my telegram No. 9 of the 14th January,
that the Royal Air Force, India, should examine and report on
une condition of the ineffective machines belonging to the
nxghsr Government, with a view to their repair, and said I should
be glad of a definite reply, as the Royal Air Force wished to

now have to be decided by His Majesty's Government. For the
latter s iilingness to help, his Government were very grateful.
