Mr. Gurney to Earl Curzon (Received May 9.)

(No. 148.) My Lord,

Tokyo, April 1, 1921. I HAVE the honour to enclose herewith for your Lordship's information a translation received from His Majesty's consul-general at Seoul of the regulations in force in Korea for the control of morphine, cocaine and their kindred salts.

These regulations are practically identical with those in force in Japan, a translation of which was enclosed in Sir Charles Eliot's despatch No. 622 of the 29th December last, except that in the latter there is no clause corresponding to article 3 of the Korean regulations.

I have, &c.

HUGH GURNEY,
