[Received February 26—3:26 p.m.]

190. I have discussed with the Secretary for Foreign Affairs⁶⁷ the points raised in your 119, February 24, 10 p.m., which meet with my cordial approval.

Personally he sees no objection to designation of Ballantine and Williams as Counselors of Mission but will refer the matter to the Viceroy.⁶⁸ He added that the latter might feel the necessity of obtaining approval from London.
