Sir Edward Grey to Sir C. MacDonald,
Foreign Office, March 17, 1908. (Telegraphic) P2
CONVENTION for protection of trade-marks in China.
The suggestion has been made that the scope of the Convention might be extended so as to include mutual protection of designs and patents in China and Corea as well as trade-marks.
Would such a proposal be favourably considered, in your opinion, by the Japanese Government?
If it is likely to endanger or delay the conclusion of the Arrangement as to trade-marks, no action should be taken.

Sir Edward Grey to Sir J. Jordan.
Foreign Office, March 17, 1908. OPIUM at Shanghae. Your despatch No. 547 of the 25th November, 1907, and my telegram No. 50 of the 8th instant.
A strong feeling exists here that the opium dens in the international Settlement at Shanghae should be closed, and I am strongly of opinion that action taken in the international Settlement should not be behind that taken by the Chinese authorities. You should let His Majesty's Consul-General know that this is His Majesty's Government's opinion, but I leave it to your discretion to decide whether it is desirable to instruct him to attempt beforehand to influence the decision of the ratepayers at their meeting, if that is, in your opinion, likely to be unfavourable.
