Sir,

I am directed by the Secretary of State for
receipt of your
India in Council to acknowledge
the
letter of the 1st September, No.31230 on the subject
of the arrangements for the supply of orium to Macao.
In reply, I am to inform you that the Marquess of
Crewe is not prepared to raise any objection to the
modification which the Governor of Macao wishes to
have made in the statement of proposals enclosed with
670 [04343 my letter of the 16th October 1913, R.& S.3564, for
giving effect to the agreement of the 14th June 1913,
except that no useful purpose would be served by
modifying the proposals numbered (4) and (5).
As regards these proposals, I am to point
out that section (7) of the Agreement permits the
purchase of opium for Macao only "at the sales at
Calcutta or Bombay or any places in India." The
