Sir:-

With reference to my letter of the 23rd instant, respecting the proposed Opium Conference, I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to transmit to you, for the information of Mr. Secretary Harcourt, copy of a letter from the Board of Trade enclosing a statement showing the quantities of morphia and cocaine exported from this

country in the first half of the year.

Sir E. Grey presumes that he will be justified in

adding to the note which he proposes to address to the

Netherland Minister, a statement to the effect that His

Majesty's Government are now in possession of sufficient

data to render possible the discussion of the control

of morphia and cocaine so far as the United Kingdom is

concerned.

e Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

I am,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble Servant,

Wanglen
