SIR,
Downing Street, 16th May, 1912. WITH reference to my circular despatch of the 7th of March last* respecting the International Opium Convention signed at the Hague on the 23rd of January last, I have the honour to observe that, in the event of the ratification of the Con- vention by His Majesty's Government, it will be necessary to furnish copies of the laws and regulations and the statistical information prescribed in Article 21 for the information of the other contracting States.
