The United States Embassy in Berlin having
inquired if the Imperial Government will be ready for
the Opium Conference by October 1st, the American
Chargé d'Affaires has been informed that the Imperial
Government is in favour of the Conference meeting
on the 1st of October and that the Imperial Government
approve in principle of the propositions made by
Great Britain. The Imperial Government expressly
agree that the Conference shall treat the questions
relating to Morphia and Cocaine and has undertaken
to collect as far as possible statistical data. The
sale of Morphia and Cocaine is in Cemany very
strictly regulated by law, and further legislation
to make the regulations more stringent are contem-
plated. It is obvious that, pending the new regula-
tions being drafted, the Imperial Covernment could
not enter for the present into binding international
agreements about this last point.
