SECTION 1.
Sir Edward Grey to Tewfik Pasha.
SIR E. GREY has the honour to acknowledge the receipt of his Excellency Tewfik Pasha's note of the 29th ultimo, enquiring what reply His Majesty's Government have made to the proposal of the United States Government for holding an opium conference at The Hague.
Sir E. Grey has the honour to inform the Ottoman Ambassador that on the 24th November last the United States Ambassador was informed 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. Foreign Office, April 2, 1910.
