Sir:-

In your Note to Mr. Carter, dated March 14th 1907,

it was stated that in the opinion of His Majesty's Government

procedure by way of Commission would seem better adapted

than a Conference for an investigation of the facts of the

Opium trade and of the consequences of the opium habit in

the Far East; but that if the other Powers consulted would

prefer procedure by way of a Conference, His Majesty's Gov-

ernment had no desire to press their views in regard to a

Commission.

In view of the aforesaid Note my Government could not

but feel that His Majesty's Government were at that time

favourable to the meeting of a Conference to settle the

question of the production of opium in China as well as the

importation of foreign opium to that country. However, in

Sir Edward Grey, Bart.,

M.P.,

&c., &c.
