Delegates. So there is no necessity for me to be

present at the signing.

I may mention that when the Articles referred to

were under preliminary discussion, Sir W. Meyer, Sir W.

Collins and I agreed that Max Müller should speak on

behalf of our Delegation. He is the proper Member, in

my humble opinion, to whom should be entrusted the

final acts.

I shall be very grateful for as early an intima-

tion as possible whether I can be relieved of further

attendance at The Hague.

Yours sincerely,

(Signed)

Cecil Clementi Smith.
