INTRODUCTION
suggests that no difference in meaning was intended between dependent territories and non-self-governing territories. The latter phrase, like the former, was apparently intended to include all territories which are dependent or not fully self-governing in their external relations. Apart from any possible implications in the term "dependent territories”, there is the further point that inter- national phraseology should be the same for matters having the same meaning. The Office has, therefore, in the present Report, ventured to adapt its own phraseology to that of San Francisco. The Conference may wish to consider this question of phraseology with due regard to possible susceptibilities and can decide on the terminology which it wishes to employ in the light of any develop- ments which may have taken place before it arrives at its final decisions.

The Standing Orders of the Conference make no provision regarding the date of despatch of the second Report which the Office will be required to prepare on the basis of the replies of the Governments to the questionnaire. It is, however, highly desirable that this second Report should reach the Governments as early as possible. It is therefore requested that the replies of the Govern- ments to the questionnaire contained in this present Report should be sent to the International Labour Office as early as possible, so as to reach Montreal not later than 15 June 1946.
Montreal, 1 March 1946.
