Sir,

I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of your

letter of the 7th January, 1938, on the subject of the

rates payable for telegrams to CHICOM, NATIONS, GENEVA.

It is regretted that this Government does not appear

to have any power to certify your right to the privileged

rates desired without the authority of the Secretary of

State for the Colonies. It is suggested that you should

move the proper authorities in London to obtain such

authorisation.

I am, etc.,
