On the understanding that the Treasury accept the

principle that 3.M.C. will pay one half of the direct

loss of opium revenue for a period of three years ( 1910- 2.

after taking into account the £9,000 granted in 1910,

we can accept £12,500 as a sufficient instalment on the

Estimates of next year.
