With reference to the letter from this
Department of December 10th. last, No.197836/10F/18, I am directed by Earl Curson of Kedleston to transmit
to you herewith copy of a memorandum from the United
States Ambassador concerning the enforcement of the provisions of the International Opium Convention
of 1912.
In view of the fact that the United States Government do not offer any objection to the proposal to bring the subject before the Peace Conference, Lord Curzon is suggesting to the British Peace Delegation in Paris that they should consult with
the American Delegation as to the possibility of obtaining from the Conference the adoption of a resolution binding all the belligerents to take immediate steps to enact the legislation contemplated
in the Convention.
The Under Secretary of State
Colonial Office.
I am, Sir,
Your most obedient
humble Servant,
Sa.c.Lilly
