The Federation of the Northern and Southern Shan States took effect from 1 October, 1922. The Federation consists of the Northern and Southern Shan States set forth in Appendix III, together with the towns of Taung-gyi, Loilem, and Kalaw. One object is understood to be the removal of the Shan States from the jurisdiction of the Legislative Body of Burma.

The States will be under the general control of the Commissioner, North Eastern Frontier Division. There will still be a Superintendent at Taung-gyi and one at Lashio.
