No. 1.

Mr. Balfour to Sir C. Greene.

Foreign Office, September 4, 1917.

YOUR despatch No. 444 of 9th July.

Morphia only appears to have been mentioned in your Excellency's note of 9th July

to Minister for Foreign Affairs.

It is also intended to restrict the export of cocaine (see my telegram No. 838 of

2nd July), and you should so inform the Japanese Government.
