am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to trans-
mit to you herewith copy of draft instructions to the
British delegates to the forthcoming Opium Conference,
which have been prepared at this Office as a result of
the deliberations of the interdepartmental committee,
and to enquire whether Mr. Secretary Harcourt desires
to offer any observations on the draft as it now
stands.
As you are aware, the ratification of the Opium
Convention by Great Britain is dependent upon a writ-
ten expression of the intention of Austria Hungary to
sign. Passages in the draft relating to these two
points may therefore eventually require alteration.
I
Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
I am,
sir,
Your most obedient,
humble Servant,
Ralph Paget
