- Title:
- Letter from Stanley to Canning
- Scope & Content:
- Discusses at length arguments for reconstituting Governor-General's Executive Council to be composed of departmental heads (i.e. Secretaries to Govt of India); feels force of these arguments but the change would be revolutionary, would involve the loss of the best prizes open to the civil service, and has not been sufficiently discussed to prepare public mind for it; is hesitating whether to keep Council vacancies open pending receipt of Canning's views on reconstruction; still believes financier is what Canning most needs but feeling against him and his political position make it difficult for Stanley to select him; briefly discusses problem of Legislative Council; intends to appoint Sanitary Commission under Sidney Herbert; principle of Local European Army has been conceded, but question of authority over it not yet settled – Stanley believes Commons would support their view: Trevelyan writes he is intensely busy at Madras – Stanley hopes his discretion will equal his zeal.
