Notes, in reply to No. 120, that Ministers DE
regard the provision of the Conven- tion relating to export as having no application to New Zealand; but points out that acceptance of the Convention binds New Zealand to enact legislation in common with other parties, and no distinction can be drawn between provisions which may be necessary in local circum- stances and those which are not.
Western November 13 States, in reply to No. 121, that the fact that there are no opium consumers in the Gilbert and Ellice and Solo- mon Islands Protectorates is not a valid reason for postponing legisla tion to give effect to the Convention; and considers that King's Regulations should now be enacted on the lines suggested in No. 112.
