The Tass News Agency (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) submitted comments on the contents of the draft Code, but did not refer to the proposed conference. The Press Assoc'iation, Ltd. (United Kingdom) stated that the views expressed by representative newspaper organizations in the United Kingdom "will cover our position in the matter".
