SECTION 1.
Sir Edward Grey to Mr. Whitelaw Reid.
Your Excellency,
Foreign Office, November 24, 1909. I HAVE the honour to inform your Excellency, with reference to Mr. Ridgeley Carter's note of the 23rd September last, that the Government of India are being consulted in regard to the proposal put forward by the Government of the United States for an international conference at The Hague to conventionalise the resolutions. adopted by the Shanghae Opium Commission.
It seems, however, doubtful whether they will be able to furnish their views on the subject until they have examined and considered the report of the Shanghae Commission, which can only have reached them quite recently, and some little time may therefore elapse before their reply is received.
I have, &c.
