I now come ’ o question of funds. Action now to be
taken uiuso be promct and it would therefore seen ad
visable not to mix up any question of past indebtedness
vlth financing of present reforms. All existing loans
and advances seem fairly well secured and problem of
readjusting them and of getting .rid of Russian loans

date of conmencament of scheme until full revenue is
realisable between two and three millions might be

start upon if remainder were in sight. At present
practically no land revenue reaches the Central Govern-
rnent and they subsist on balance of Customs; telegraphs
receipts, opium revenues;and our subvention and have no
margin,
I would now refer following correspondence. Firs:
