pist 24 JAN 12

We have the honour to transmit to you herewith copies of

the Draft International Opiun Convention and also of the

Protocol de Clôture in the form in which they passed their

final reading by the Conference this afternoon.

The only difference of any importance between this

final draft and the draft as enclosed in our despatch No.

12 of the 20th. instant is to be found in Article 11 from

which on our suggestion the conditional words en tenant

compte des différences de leurs conditions" have been ex-

punged.

The signature is arranged to take place to-morrow.

It was agreed this afternoon that the question of coram

municating the convention to the Press should be left to the

discretion of the respective dovernments, the delegates

meanwhile binding themselves to secrecy as to the conclusion

of the Conference.

We have co.,

(Signed)
