With reference to your letter (No.142418/10/F) of the 25th October, regar ing the exortation of morphia to China via Janan, I am directed by the Board of Trude to observe for the information of Farl Curzon of Kedleston, that morphia may not be exported from the United Kingdom to Japan (or to the Kwantung Leased Territory) either as freight or by parcels post except under ligence from the Bourd's Export Licence Department.

In the case of freight shipments, the Edinburgh Anti-Opin Committee are apparently satisfied that the arrangements brought into force in 1917 have been satisfactory and that shipments of morɑhia to Jepan have practically ceased. The Committee may not, however, be aware that the some conditions of licencing are also a plied to exports by parecla post and that no licence is issued for an export by parcel post, unless the Export Licence Department is in possession of the usual certificate from the Japanese Home Office certifyin the consignment in question to bo required in Japan for medical purposes only.

Morphia, therefore, cannot possibly be conveyed by parcels post from the United Kingdon to Japan without due authorisation from the Export Licence Department, unless despatched under some other m...8.

The Under Secretary of State,

Foreign office,

3.4.
