REC? REGE 7 FEB 07
FOREIGN OFFICE,
February
1907.
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of
your Note of the 25th ultimo and to thank you for the
translation enclosed therein of certain proposals
which you have received from the Wai-wu-Pu for the
gradual abolition of the Opium Trade in China.
I am unable to express any definite opinion in
regard to these proposals until I am in possession of
the views of the Government of India in regard to
them, but the matter is engaging the serious atten-
tion of His Majesty's Government who are already in
communication with His Majesty's Minister at Peking
and with the Government of India on the subject.
(signed)
I have, Ac.,
