My telegram
of 27th February: Declaration
of ultimate destination.
No certificates of ultimate destination
or consumption should be issued by His Majesty's consular officers themselves, but they should confine their action to attesting signatures appearing
in such certificates when submitted to them. It
should be made clear to all concerned that such attestation is purely a notarial act and does not in any way guarantee the truth of the statements made
to
