Your Excellency,

With reference to the Agreement on Commerce between the Commonwealth of Australia and Japan signed today, I have the honour to inform your Excellency that the provisions of this Agreement shall not apply to any of the external territories administered by the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia nor to any advantages which are accorded or which may be accorded hereafter between the external territories and the metropolitan territory of Australia.

I have the honour to request your Excellency to be good enough to confirm the foregoing understanding on behalf of your Government.

I avail myself, Excellency, of this opportunity to renew assurances of my highest consideration.
