No. 18. New Zealand, Dominions No. 66. Sir, —- Downing Street, 6th February, 1929. I have the honour to state, for the information of His Majesty's Government in New Zealand, that the Editing Committee of the International Code of Signals have requested that the various countries of the world should be asked to revise that part of the Geographical Section of the International Code of Signals which applies to their territory, and to forward the results of their revision as soon as possible. 2. In making the revision the Editing Committee would be glad if the names of places of special interest to aircraft could be inserted. It is desirable that the total number of places in the section relating to any country should not exceed the present number of entries by more than 30 per cent, at the utmost. It is understood that the signal letters appropriate to the various places will be reallocated by the Editing Committee, so that no attempt need be made to give signal letters new entries. I have, &c., L. S. AMERY. Governor-General His Excellency General Sir C. Fergusson, Bart., LL.D., G.C.M.G., K.C.8., D.5.0., M.V.O, &c.
