India Office to Foreign Office.-(Received November 8,)

India Office, November 7, 1906.

Sir,

I AM directed by the Secretary of State for India in Council to refer to your letter, dated the 13th June last, on the subject of the passage of Yunnan opium through Burmah in bond.

I am to say that Mr. Secretary Morley would leave it to Sir Edward Grey to decide whether the correspondence accompanying this Office's letter, dated the 30th May last, should be communicated to His Majesty's Minister at Peking for information or not. In the event of its being communicated, I am to suggest that the Minister be informed that His Majesty's Government agrees with the views expressed by Sir Ernest Satow as to the inexpediency of making the first approach to the Chinese Government on the subject.

I am, &c. (Signed) A. GODLEY.
