THE HONOURABLE E. A. RANSOM PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by section ten of the Customs Amendment Act, 1921, it is enacted that the powers conferred on the Governor-General by section eight thereof shall be exercisable for the purpose of giving effect to any agreement or arrangement entered into by or on behalf of the Government of New Zealand with the Government of any other country for the purpose of promoting trade between those countries, and it is thereby further enacted that no such agreement or arrangement shall have any effect unless and until it is ratified by Parliament:

And whereas by the Trade Agreement (New Zealand and Australia) Ratification Act, 1933, a certain reciprocal Customs agreement with the Commonwealth of Australia (hereinafter called “the said agreement”), being an agreement to which section ten of the Customs Amendment Act, 1921, applies, was ratified:

And whereas by subsection two of section two of the Trade Agreement (New Zealand and Australia) Ratification Act, 1933, it is enacted that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in section ten of the Customs Amendment Act, 1921, any agreement modifying the said agreement may be given effect to by Order in Council under that Act notwithstanding that such modifying agreement may not have been ratified as required by that section:

And whereas by section three of the Trade Agreement (New Zealand and Australia) Ratification Act, 1933, it is provided that the date on which the said agreement is brought into force shall be notified by the Governor-General by Proclamation; and accordingly by a Proclamation made on the twenty-eighth day of November, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-three, and published in the New Zealand Gazette on the thirtieth day of the same month, at page 3155, it was notified that the said agreement should come into force on the first day of December, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-three:
