SECTION 1.
Sir,
Foreign Office, December 28, 1912. I AM directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to transmit herewith, to be laid before the Marquess of Crewe, copy of telegram from His Majesty's Minister at Peking, stating that the Wai-chiao Pu have officially made a request that certain provinces should be placed on the prohibition list, in respect of the importation of Indian opium, in accordance with article 3 of the Agreement of the 8th May, 1911.*
I am to enquire whether Lord Crewe concurs in Sir E. Grey's proposal to approve the reply which Sir J. Jordan suggests returning to the Wai-chiao Pu.
I am, &c.
W. LANGLEY.
