Sir:-

We have a cable from our Hongkong House saying

that the Hongkong Government has recommended the Home

Government to stop the importation of uncertificated

Opium into Hongkong and, as there is no reply, and

the matter is very urgent, they ask us to press for an

immediate decision on this side.

We would call your attention to the statement

concerning this matter which appeared in "The Times"

of yesterday's date and we beg that you will give us

some definite information at your very earliest con-

venience.

(Signed)

Under Secretary of State,

Foreign Office.

We have &c.,

E. D. Sassoon and Company.
