desirable to obtain, but, inasmuch
as it would appear from the Colonial Office letter that the concession has already been given to the Company subject to the "usual
Government conditions" it seems doubtful whether,
as adherence to the International

Convention has not hitherto been stipulated for as one of those conditions, the Company can be forced to accept the stipulation in this

Convention, Mr Fawcett thinks it would be
desirable that, in future, adherence to the International Convention should be required as
one of the usual Government conditions to the
grant of
a concession.
As regards the enquiry as to what are to be

International Telegraph Office
on the subject,
that these have never been precisely defined,
but that it is considered that the Convention as
a whole would be regarded as obligatory,
save in so far as the Convention itself allows any option or latitude.
