SURFACE DESPATCH 7025/2/39. jq, February, 1959. SECRET Dear Shannon, We should be grateful if you would be good enough to arrange for the enclosed copy (No.27) of a memorandum (C.U.S.832) by the Chiefs of Staff, on the question of New Zealand Co-operation in Imperial Defence, to be handed to Sir Harry ,-uke on his arrival in New Zealand to attend the Conference on matters concerning the Pacific Islands. It was felt safer to send this document direct to New Zealand than to send it to Fiji and to risk its arrival there after his departure. Yours ever, (Signed) C. W. DlXOlfc G. £. B0"O> SiiANNOA1, ESQ
