June 1913.

You have already been informed
that His Majesty's Government have select-
ed you to be the British Delegates at the.
International Conference which is to meet
at The Hague on the 1st July to consider
the question of the ratification of the
International Opium Convention of January
1912.
You will doubtless remember
with what difficulties you were confronted
at the former Conference owing to the
fact that, the Powers represented being
limited in number to twelve, they were
not alone competent to carry out the full
extent of international co-operation con-
templated by the convention, and owing to
the danger also that the participating
Powers might eventually find that they
had unavailingly sacrificed their trade
interests
