My dear P.M.,

The other letters that I send by this mail are as follows:-

LATIN AMERICA AND THE MONROE DOCTRINE Recording protests by both
Argentine and Mexico at the employment of the term 'Monroe
Doctrine' in international documents. They take the stand that it
is a unilateral declaration to which they have never adhered. [1]

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS-DOMINIONS OFFICE FILES I have been able to
get fairly complete copies of the printed correspondence of the
Dominions Office on international relations for the years 1926/7.

I had previously sent out the same for 1923, 1924 and 1925. They
are well indexed and most useful for reference. Other Dominions do
not get these files.

DOMINION NATIONALS Definition of a 'Canadian' and a 'South
African', together with cases. I took this up with the Dominions
Office as a matter of general interest and send the information
for the files in case we are faced, in the future, with having to
define ourselves.

DOMINION REPRESENTATION ABROAD Comments on the reported South
African move of turning their Trade Commissioners into 'Charge'
d'affaires'.

FOREIGN OFFICE LIBRARY MEMORANDA Copies of records of Foreign
Office researches into various subjects. I select the subjects
from time to time from amongst the multitudinous researches of the
Foreign Office Library and have them copied for our files at
Canberra.

BRITISH CONSULAR INSTRUCTIONS I send set of complete up-to-date
'Instructions' in volume form, with rules as to revision.

GOVERNOR GENERAL'S TITLE Result of my enquiring at Dominions
Office as to the possible employment of the title of 'Viceroy' in
Dominions.

COMMUNIST ACTIVITIES Regular weekly letter covering 'Revolutionary
Activities' report, together with New Scotland Yard queries and
information about dangerous characters going to or from Australia.

RESOLUTIONS OF IMPERIAL CONFERENCE 1926 Recording the progress of
the Committee to enquire into King's Power of Disallowance, etc.

FRENCH JOURNALISTS Forwarding an intimate 'Who's Who'.

ARABIA-IRAQ RAIDS Covering summary of the situation and comments.

published object of Sir John Salmond's Visit. [2]

BOOKS FOR EXTERNAL AFFAIRS LIBRARY Covering list of about 80
volumes purchased secondhand after consultation with the Foreign
Office.

TANGIER Covering copies of Villiers' [3] lecture delivered
yesterday on the subject to the Imperial Staff College;

instructive and amusing.

GENERAL LETTER This is a weekly omnibus letter recording enclosure
of numerous Foreign Office prints and other matters of a more or
less routine nature.

I am, Yours sincerely,
R.G. CASEY
