With reference to that portion of your despatch
No. 17 of the 13th instant which relates to the in-
clusion of powdered and granulated opium in the defin-
ition of raw opium, we have the honour to report that
at the Conference Session of the 17th instant Mr. Max
Müller made the following declaration on the subject.
"The British Delegation desire to make a state-
ment in regard to the definition of raw opium.
It will be within the recollection of the Con-
ference that the definition as originally brought up
from the Programme Committee contained the following
second paragraph: L'opium brut comprend également les
formes connues sous les noms commerciaux d'opium en
poudre et d'opium granulé.
This delegation felt from the outset that the
terms powdered opium and granulated opium were not
free from ambiguity, and that so far as they related
to
he Right Honourable
Sir Edward Grey, Bart., M.P.
