With reference to my letter of the 15th. instant,

on the subject of the Opium Conference, I am directed

by Secretary Sir E. Grey to state, for the information

of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, that Mr.

Max Müller, writing on behalf of the British Delegates,

has called attention to the fact that the expression

*prepared opium" as defined by the Conference, is

intended to refer simply to opium prepared for consump-

tion by smoking or eating, and not to opium dried of

powdered for the manufacture of morphia.

3.0.

With regard to the point raised in your letter

39988/1911 of the 14th. instant, Mr. Max Müller is

inclined to think that the adoption of the proposed

resolution prohibiting the importation and exportation

of prepared oplum would not affect the supply of that

article by a British Colony to a State under British
