He said the only exception was New Zealand, and at present the United States Government did not wish to denounce that Convention, but that, as negotiations with Australia were being conducted with a view to concluding a Parcels Post Convention, and the lesser weight would be insisted upon, he thought that perhaps it might seem desirable that New Zealand should be placed on the same basis.

Mr. Payne suggested the date of December 1st for the day when the Convention should come into force, but I do not think he attaches any importance to any special date.
