Sir,

With reference to previous correspondence in
regard to facilities for the entry into Hong Kong and re-
export to China of certain quantities of narcotic drugs
included among stores of the League of Nations Epidemic
Commission to China (Foreign Office letter F 11622/167/10 of
January 22nd, 1938), I have the honour to transmit to you for
your information copy of a letter sent by me to-day to the
Colonial Secretary, Hong Kong, concerning further shipment
of narcotic drugs for the needs of the Epidemic Commission.
I should be grateful if the United Kingdom Government
would, by appropriate means, support the request addressed
by me to the Government of Hong Kong.
I have, etc.,
(Signed) SEAN LESTER.
