Sir: -
of the 14th instant 7.0.
With reference to your letter/No.771/1914, regarding
the proposal to effect an agreement with the French
Government concerning the Opium traffic of Kwangchauwan,
I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to transmit to
you herewith copy of a letter from the India Office,
1
suggesting that an arrangement might be made with the
French Government by which the desired results might be
achieved without resort to the more cumbersome process
of drawing up a formal treaty.
Sir E. Grey is inclined to favour the alternative
proposed by the India Office and, subject to the con-
currence of Mr. Secretary Harcourt, he will instruct
His Majesty's Ambassador in Paris on the lines suggest-
ed by that Department.
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
I am, Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble Servant,
Wangtan
