Dear Worth,
You are, of course, aware that
most of the Far Eastern Governments
(British Colonial and others) which used
to get practically the whole of their
supplies of opium from India have been
compelled to turn to Persia to supplement
their restricted supplies of Indian opium.
The cumulative effect last year was
to create a boom in Persian opium. This
is a matter which may well excite comment
at Geneva.
A particularly favourable
opportunity
