2. I have consulted the Chamber of Commerce and learn through the Chairman that in the opinion of the Chamber it would be advisable to accede to the application.
3. In this opinion I concur and unless therefore Your Lordship sees any objection to such a course, I should be obliged by the necessary communication being made through the proper channel to the Russian Government with a view to the admission of this Government into the Convention.
4. I enclose a copy of Article 2 of the Convention bearing on the subject.
I have the honour to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient humble servant,
The Governor
