Chairman: Nan nunphung(ancient customs) dah ti lo cun adang I hruai ning vialte cu Burma Proper cozah nih tawlrel lai ti ko?(Apart from ancient customs of the Chins all matters of administration are to be dealt with by the Government of Burma Proper. Do i understand that?).

Chief Thang Tin Lian: Aw,kan si lai.

Chairman: Chin Hills hi Burma Proper ah maw a lut lai or Federation chung ah dah? (Should the Chin Hills go into Ministerial Burma or be joined in a federation with Burma and the other Frontier Areas?).

Chief Mang Ling: ‘Federation’ timi literature meaning kan ni fiang lo. Kan mah kan duhmi cu Burma chung district pakhat in um kan duh. (We do not know the literal meaning of ‘federation’. What we want is to join with Burma as a district in Burma).

Tedim lei hruaitu Chief Pum Za Mang bialehmi ah:

Chairman: Nan memorandum ah pakhat kai fiang lo ngai mi a um. Proper Burma chung district pakhat or pakhatnak tam in um maw nan duh a si lo le tlangcungmi vialte le Proper Burma fonh in sermi Federal Cozah tangah dah um nan duh. (There is one point in the memorandum on which we are not quite clear. Do you wish to join Ministerial Burma as a district or districts or do you wish to be administered by Federal Government of all people of Burma?).

Chief Pum Za Mang: Panglong hnatlaknak bantuk in Federation ah um kan duh. (We should like to be in federation according to the Panglong Agreement).

Tedim lei hruaitu Captain Mang Tung Nung bialehmi:

Statehood an rak hal lo long si loin 'Federation' hmanh an rak hal lo.
