Sir H Lambert

I think not,

No, though he had some talk with me

about who would represent us if we have a representative. I am inclined to think that Mr. W. R. Innes, C.M.G., Deputy Agent at the M.S. Information Agency in London, would be suitable. He can easily spare him from the Agency. He was Judge in Malaya, and acted for years as Ch. Jud. Commr. He is an admirable linguist, both French and German and other languages). See record in C.O. List.

I have never discussed the opium question with him, and the first step would be to do so, and make sure that he holds sound views. But as Mr. Freeston will be back on the 1st of March, we might wait for his return so that he may have his say in the matter (I believe he will agree) and be present at my interview with Mr. Innes.
