Brussels, March II, 1912.
Mr.. Minister: Under date of De
cember 1S, 1907, my predecessor, Sir
A. Hardinge, addressed a note to your
eXcellency announcing that he was
authorized to sign the protocol rela-
tive to the adhesion of Russia to the
sugar convention, with the reserva-
ton that the consent Of the Govern
ment of His Britannia Majesty was
limited to the disposition permitting
Russia to adhere to the convention
an6 not implying consent to the sti-
pulation permitting the expectation of
Russian sugar.
In the presence of this reservation,
the Government of His Britannia Ma
jesty considers that it's consent is not
necessary for the increase of the Rus
sian expectation provided by the pro-
tocol which has been the subject of
the recent discussions of the Inter
rational Sugar Commission, inasmucn
as the consent has never been given
to its restriction, and, in consequence,
it does not propose to authorize me to
sign this protocol, which provides an
increase of the expectation of Rus
sian sugar at the same time as the
renewal of the convention for a pc
Rod of five years commencing Sep
TENDER 1, 1913. Nevertheless, to avoid
all possibility of misunderstanding on
this subject, I am charged by the
principal secretary of state for for
eign affairs of his Britannia Majesty
to formally declare that the Govern
ment of His Britannia Majesty does
not see any objection 70 the increase
of the Russian expectation for the
present year and the subsequent
years of the continuation of the con-
Vention, and I must pray that your
excellency be good enough to commu-
nicate the contents of this note to the
