Sir,
Foreign Office, October 19, 1906.
I AM directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to transmit to you herewith, to be laid before the Secretary of State for India, a copy of a despatch to His Majesty's Ambassador at Washington, recording a conversation with the American Ambassador on the subject of the opium question in China and the Far East.*
Mr. Whitelaw Reid has been instructed to ask what view His Majesty's Government would take of a Joint Commission on, or a joint investigation of, the opium trade and the opium habit, to be undertaken by the United States, Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Germany, China, and Japan, and the United States' Government desire to learn the view of His Majesty's Government and of the Japanese Government before approaching the other countries named,
Sir E. Grey would be glad to be informed what reply should, in Mr. Morley's opinion, be returned to this proposal.
I am, &c. (Signed) F. A. CAMPBELL.
