Your telegram of 8 February [No. 140]. ANZAC AREA.

His Majesty's Government in New Zealand are fully in agreement with the proposal to establish unified control—land, sea and air—in the Anzac area, and generally with the suggested procedure set out in paragraph (3) for bringing this into force.

While they adhere to their views on the proposed procedure for general strategic instruction, they are prepared to accept it and to endeavour to make it effective.
