Finally I would add that your powers

to enter into any agreement are not plenary,

but are merely of an "ad referendum" nature,

You will also bear in mind that any conven-

tion that you may sign will not thereby be

binding on any of His Majesty's Self-

Governing Dominions, Colonies, or Proteco-

rates, but you will be careful to secure

for them the right to adhere to any such

convention, should they wish to.
