COLONIAL SECRETARY'S DEPARTMENT.

With reference to the Polish Tonnage Order published by Government Notification No. 395 of the 17th May, 1935, it is hereby notified that by a Convention between His Majesty and the President of the Republic of Poland signed at Warsaw on the 16th April, 1934, it was agreed that Polish ships equipped with certificates of registry and other national papers duly issued by the competent Polish authorities on or after the 30th November, 1927, shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in the said documents and shall be exempted from being remeasured within the territories of His Majesty to which the Convention applied. By an exchange of notes the said Convention has been extended to the Free City of Danzig. As the Convention with Poland applies to all Colonies, Protectorates and Mandated Territories its extension to the Free City of Danzig is of similar application.
