 2400 INTERNATIONAL LOAD LINE CONVENTION. JULy 5, 1930. Secretlll'Y of State. TM Secretary of Stat6 (Stimson) to the British Ambassador (Lindsay) The Secretary of State presents his compliments to the British Charge d'Affaires ad interim, and referring to the Ambassador's note No. 215 of June 28, 1932, transmitting copies of a sheet showing corrections which the Netherland Government has made to the figures contained in its proposal transmitted with the Ambassador's note No. 48 of February 8, 1932, relating to modifications in the French text of the rules in Annex I to the London Load Line Convention of 1930, informs him that these modifications have had the consideration of the appropriate Departments of the Government of the United States and that no objection to them is Derceived. The Secretary of State would be thankful if he might be informed from time to time in regard to the other countries which accept the corrections proposed by the Netherland Government. The Secretary of State would be further obliged if he might be informed of the procedure His Majesty's Government in Great Britain will take in respect of such corrections in the French text of the convention and rules, as have been or may be agreed upon in order to bring that text more in accord with the English text. It would be especially desirable to know whether it is the intention of the British Government to furnish to the governments certified copies of the convention and rules as so modified. In this relation it is recalled that attached to the certified ccpy of the convention and rules originally furnished by the British Govern- ment is a long list of errata in the French text. The procedure of the governments in procJaiming or promulgating the convention and rules would be greatly facilitated and simplified if corrected certified copies could be furnished to them.
