Sir,

184571 19571

In continuation of letter R. and S.893 of 20th March 1913 (Colonial Office No.6644/13), I am directed by the Secretary of State for India in Council to forward a copy of a telegram from the Government of

India, stating that it would in their opinion be

sufficient if Indian opium were allowed entrance into

Hongkong if in transit to Formosa; and I am to say

that the Marquess of Crewe will be glad if effect

could be given to the offer of the Governor of

Hong Kong.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

9. W. Holderness

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.
