Sir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received June 4.)
(Telegraphic.) R.
Peking, June 4, 1915.
MY telegram No. 113 and my despatch No. 114 of 31st May. Arrangements made at Shanghai seem to offer practical solution of opium question and to render retention of Wilton as opium commissioner no longer necessary,
I
propose,
if you approve, to send him to Canton as acting consul-general.
