a i r ,
I hare the honour to acknowledge the rece ip t of your l e t t e r of the 9th Jane informing iae of the poin t o f view of the commonwealth o f A u a t r e l i a in regard to the proposed form of i d e n t i ty o e r t i f i o a t e a fo r Ruaaian refugeea.
The High Commissioner, Dr. Hansen, to whom I transm it ted your l e t t e r , nska me to a ta te t h a t he haa noted with a a t la fa o t io n th a t the Commonwealth i a prepared to reoognlae the o e r t i f i o a t e a aa equivalent to a paaaport and in o ther reapeota to agree to the terme of the Arrangement o f the Conference of Ju ly 3-*, 1922, in ao f a r aa they e f f e c t the country o f A u s t ra l ia . The High Cominiasioner warmly ap preo la tee the moral support and p rao t io a l aid whioh th ia deoiaion give a to the ta sk whioh he has In hand and la a lso very g ra te fu l to note the aaauranoe w ith whioh your l e t t e r oonoludea, t h a t , should oooaalon a r i s e , the mâtter of laaulng id e n t i ty o e r t i f i o a te a in the form recommended w i l l rece ive due conaiâe ra t io n .
From the termn of t h a t paragraph he l a . In f a c t , encouraged to suppose th a t the p o s i t io n herein taken by the A us tra l ian Oovernment i s baaed not upon any fundamental object ion to thia aspeot of the I d e n t i ty c e r t i f i c a t e system, but merely apon a doubt aa to i t s Immediate p rao t io a l importance aa regarda A u s tra l ia .
Should t h i s be the oaae, the High Commissioner d e s ire s me to bring to your notice two fu rthe r oonalderationa which apnear to him relev an t:
The term "Ruasian refugee" f o r the purpoaea o f the Id en t i ty c e r t i f i c a t e system, la not in poin t of f a c t ao l im ited in l t a ap p lic a t io n aa might perhapa be supposed. Any person, being of Ruasian and no o ther n a t io n a l i t y , who la a na tive of t e r r i to ry formerly under Ruaalan sovere ignty and n o t now under th a t of any in te rn a t io n a l ly reoosmlaed a ta te , l a . In p r in c ip le , w ith in the aoope of the proposed ayatem. Your Oovernment need th e re fo re f e e l no h e s i t a t io n on th is score In aeouring for any Ruaalar
The se cre ta ry ,Prime M in is te r 's Department,
Department of Ex terna l A f fa ir s ,
M B L B O U R H B .
lea v in g A u s tra l ia the p r iv i le g e s offered under th la arrangement.
Moreover, f o r the Journey to or throu^i Japan, mentioned In your l e t t e r oa no t unoom ionly oeleoted by Raeatana leav ing A u s tra l ia , the leaue o f Id e n t i ty o e r t l f l o a te a In the propoeed fo rn would no»/ appear to have become p a r t i c u l a r ly exped ien t . Since » e d a te o f your l e t t e r ’a deapatoh the Japanese Government haa Informed me of I t a deolelon to adopt the I d e n t i ty c e r t i f i c a t e eyat'-n, and I t m y pezhapa, th e re fo re , be ap o c la l ly convenient In the fu tu re fo r peraona o f nuaalan n a t io n a l i t y to be provided w ith auoh c e r t i f i e r , te a .
In these olrcumatanoea the Hi,* commlaaioner ventnrea to hope thn t the A ustra l ian florernment may find I t peea lb le a t an e a r ly date to c lg n lfy I t s fu l l adhesion to the a m r.gement of Ju ly 1922, w h i* has a lready been put in to operation by ao many Members o f the League.

My dear Lodge,
I enoloee herewith a cheque for 100,000 French francs
representing a contribution nvide by H. de Olers* organisa
tion towards the évacuation expenses of the Russian Refu
gees from Gallipoli.
Unless you see any objection, I think this sum oould
be credited to the eo-oalled "£30.000 Constantinople eva
cuation • ccount".
Yours sincerely.

Dear Monsieur Goulkévltoh,
tilnoe writing to you my letter of thle morning.
Robert Oeoll by the Russian Relief eeooiatlooBof Great
Britain, appealing to the League to remove Dr. Hannen
from hi8 poet as High Commissioner for Ruaeian Refugees.
As there nre so many flcgrint inroouraoies in
this petition and as the London Coamlttee quite frankly
states that It has no direct interest in the High Oom-
mLesion, I wonder whether the organisations with whom the
High Commission hue had the privilege to work and who • re
thus In « position to offer an opinion on the High Commis
sioner's work, would like to offer some observations on
this subject lilso. If you nhare this view, I shall be
only too pleased an* prepare a draft dooument whioh would
constitute a very complete : newer to the mle-ettitements
In the London Committee's petition.
Perhaps you would kindly telephone me when you
receive this letter saying when we could discuss this mat
ter, but In the meantime I should be very glad Indeed If
you could let me have e oopy of the resolution proposed
by M, de Glere, which you shoved me the other di>y.
id a oopy of a petition presented to T.ord
Yours sinoerely,
