"Mr. Tang Kno-an announced that during the interval he had held a consultation with Dr. Rossler and Dr. Hamilton Wright, and that by their suggestion he now wished to move the following in the place of his original resolution :- That the International Opium Commission recommends that each delegation move its Government to apply its pharmacy laws to its subjects in the consular districts, concessions and settlements in China."

"DR. HAMILTON WRIGHT then moved the.

adoption of the fourth resolution. "Sir CECIL CLEMENTI SMITH suggested that the words in the second paragraph of the resolution: "which continue to pro- duce opium, its alkaloids, derivatives, and preparations ": should be omitted. This would put the pressure not upon one country only but” upon all countries. He also ventured to suggest to the United States delegation that the para. graph in question should read “.

it is the duty of all countries to adopt reasonable measures to prevent,

etc."

"DR. HAMILTON WRIGHT accepted these. amendments, and the resolution in its altered form was adopted unanimously by the House."
