Dear Glauson,
You will remember that in your letter
P.Z.15/36 of the 1st January to #ard about the Bahrain
transit dues agreement you raised the question of the
principle involved in registering such exchanges of
notes with the League of Nations and expressed the view
that we should avoid giving the impression that all
exchanges, even of a comparatively unimportant nature
such as that about the Bahrain transit dues, must
automatically be registered with the League and
published in the United Kingdom Treaty Series,
2, As you know, we agreed to make the modification
which you suggested in the wording of our draft telegram
to Jedda on the question of registration and publication
so as to render it less categorical. We think, however,
that it may be useful to explain our position clearly
so as to avoid further difficulties in matters of this
sort. riffooSURE IN WEEKLYETTBr""!
