Terms of Reference.
In reply to Mr Theodore G. Taylor, who | asked whether he could, now give the Homse the terms of reference of the In- ternational Opium Commoisalon which is to maet in Shanghai in Febrtiary, Sir Edward Groy stated: The United States Govern ntent have communicated to us the terms of their instructions to their delegates. These instructions are as follows:-'1. To dorise means to limit the use of opium in the possessions of this country. 2. To ascertain the best means of sup-
prossing opiera brat, if sub now exists, aming the nationals of this Govern-
meat in the Far East. 3. To be in a position so that when the Commission meets at Shanghai our representatives may bo propared to co-oporate with the repre- sentatives of participating Powers, and with them to offer definite suggestions of measures which these Governments may adopt for the gradual suppression of opium cultivation, traffic, and use within their Eastern posicasions, thus assisting Chíns in her purpose of eradicating the evil from her empire. 4. To be able to inform 1690 the whole Commission when it assembles regarding regulations and restrictions in force at present in this country, and to formulate and discuss proposals for emend. ing such regulations in pointer in which they may be found, in the course of the joint investigation, to affect the produc tions, commerce, use, and disadvantages of opium in the Far East" The British delegates are being furnished with instruc- tions on similar lines, but it is not known how for this basis has been accepted by the other participating Governments for the guidance of their delegates.
