TOELEN OFFICE

January 20th, 1912.

I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to transmit to

you herewith to be laid before the Secretary of State for

the Colonies copy of a despatch from the British Delegates

to the Opium Conference at the Hague, on the subject of a

proposal by the American Delegates that two Conventions

should be concluded, dealing respectively with Opium and

with Morphia Cocaine, etc., instead of one Convention em-

bracing all these substances.

This proposal appears to Sir E. Grey to be quite in-

admissible and subject to the concurrence of the Secretary

of State for the Colonies, he proposes to express his entire

approval of the language held by the British Delegates on

the subject and of the views expressed by them in the en-

closed despatch.

I am, Sir,

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

Your most obedient,

humble Servant,

Equ
