My Lord,

Inclosure 2 in No. 1.

The Earl of Crewe to Governor-General the Earl of Dudley.

Downing Street, December 4, 1908. I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's telegram of the 15th October, notifying that the Commonwealth Government do not propose to send a Delegate to the International Opium Commission, and stating that a report on the measures already taken towards the prohibition of opium importation into Australia will be forwarded shortly.

2. With reference to the suggestion of your Government that the International Conference should be invited to consider the question of making the right of the cultivation and manufacture of opium a Government monopoly in each country, I shall be glad if you will inform your Ministers that, in the opinion of His Majesty's Government, this question could not properly be included within the scope of the reference to the Commission as defined by the Government of the United States.

I have, &c.

(Signed)
