report has only now been received in this country from the
Shanghai printers ma it is not certain whether it has yet
reached India.
3. As far as India is concerned there would seem to be
no urgency for an international conference to conventionalise
the resolutions of the Shanghai Commission, and indeed some
of the resolutions do not admit ol immediate or uniform ac-
tion, as they contemplate a preliminary course of inquiry by
the several participating Governments into the use and regu-
lation of opium, to be followed by measures adapted to the
varying local conditions of the respective countries. bhould
it be found that an intemational convention is not required
as regards the United kingdom or the Colonies, there would
be prima facie a case for suggesting to the American Gov-
ernment that their proposal might conveniently be deferred
until the powers participating in the shanghai Commission
dave had time to revise their respective systems of control
over the production and distribution of opiwa in accordance
with the recommendations of the Commission. The case for
delay would be further strengthened, should it appear that
this view is likely to commend itself to the other powers.
