I AM directed by the Secretary of State for India in Council to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, dated the 29th October, 1910, euclosing a telegram from Mr. Max Müller on the subject of the proposed opius arrangement with China.
In reply I am to suggest that Mr. Max Müller should be informed that his presumption regarding the Chinese official is right; that Sir Alex. Hosie's suggestion may, if necessary, be acted on; and that His Majesty's Government are of his opinion that the inclusion of such a clause as that mentioned in the last part of bis telegram is not desirable.
