Provincial Influence

I know, of course, some of the questions raised can only be finally settled by negotiation with the Central Government, but I think' you are well aware that-no central' authority is likely to sanction any arrangement without the previous consent of the provincial govern-ind, the proauthorities can always use their influence to press for the consent of the central government to agreement already made. 1 Lope you will always bear this in your mind when you carry on any negotiation with us.

T can assure you, gentlemen, that whilst T will do my best to' look: after the interest of my own countrymen and consult their wishes in every case, I will never shirk any responsibility that is properly mine.
