tally the same as that tablishing Civil
| Service Reforms throughout the British

forms and have them carried out
in the national policy Of their own par
fy.
There is no prospect Of an agreement
between the members Of the joint high
commission. The commissioners find
that they have undertaken to unravel
knotty complications.
