I have the honour to refer to conversations between your
Government and the Government of the United Kingdom in reference
to the granting of Long-Term Military Base Rights in territories
in the Pacific.

Australia and New Zealand, because of their geographical position,
are directly interested in security and welfare arrangement's in
the whole Pacific area. The Australian Government considers that
both countries should participate in any talks which are held on
this subject and be represented at all stages of any discussions.

This view has been conveyed to the United Kingdom Government and
it would be greatly appreciated if you would convey this view to
your Government. [1]
