SECTION 1.

No. 1.
T
Sir Edward Grey to M. Cambon.
SIR E. GREY has the honour to acknowledge the receipt of M. Daeschner's note of the 23rd instant, and to state that His Majesty's Government have not received from the United States Government any further communication with regard to the American proposal for holding a second opium conference at The Hague.
As the French Government are aware, the United States Ambassador in London was informed on the 24th November last that the Government of India were being consulted in regard to the American proposal, but that it was doubtful whether they would be able to furnish their views until they had examined and considered the report of the Shanghae Commission, and that some time must therefore necessarily elapse before their views were known.
No reply has up to the present been received from the Government of India, but on its receipt Sir E. Grey will not fail to address a further coinmunication to the French Embassy.
