AMERICAN EMBASSY

LONDON,

July 12th 1908.

Sir:-

With reference to my Note of the 8th of May last relating to the subject of the Opium Trade in China, I have the honour to inform you, under instructions from my Government, that the United States Opium Commission is now at work on the question with a view to limiting the use and transportation of the drug in the United States, such use and transportation having already been restricted in the Philippine Islands.

The investigations to date show clearly the Opium question to be of the highest importance to the United States, and the Commission are therefore also considering the question of Opium derivatives, all internal consumption of crude Opium, licit and illicit, internal manufacture and use of chandu morphia and other derivatives, licit and illicit,

Sir Edward Grey, Bart.,

&c., &c., &c.
