Yes,
I
think Sir C.C. Smith would be the
best representative we could
sena he is very alert
عبيد
and firm. He is of course getting old and shaky,
but I dare say he could manage to go as
far as t he
Hague. I understand that the F.0. have kept him sup-
riled with the printed corresp. about opfum,
Jan
concur, and suggest Sir C. Smith, and send
11, [and
out corresp. to G v7. as proposed.

Sir:-
I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to transmit
to you herewith to be laid before the Secretary of
State for the Colonies a copy of a note which has been
received from the Netherland Chargé d'Affaires announcing
that his Government have fixed December 1st, 1911 as
the date, for the opening of the Opium Conference at
The Hague.
Sir E. Grey proposes, with the concurrence of Mr.
Harcourt to reply that the date proposed will be ac-
ceptable to His Majesty's Government, and to express the
hope that a definite programme will be issued a reason-
able time before the meeting of the Conference.
I am,
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble Servant,
Falampbell
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
