We have the honour to transmit to you herewith copies of
the Draft International Opiun Convention and also of the
Protocol de Clôture in the form in which they passed their
final reading by the Conference this afternoon.
The only difference of any importance between this
final draft and the draft as enclosed in our despatch No.
12 of the 20th. instant is to be found in Article 11 from
which on our suggestion the conditional words en tenant
compte des différences de leurs conditions" have been ex-
punged.
The signature is arranged to take place to-morrow.
It was agreed this afternoon that the question of coram
municating the convention to the Press should be left to the
discretion of the respective dovernments, the delegates
meanwhile binding themselves to secrecy as to the conclusion
of the Conference.
We have co.,
(Signed)
