I am directed by the Secretary of State for

India in Council to acknowledge the receipt of your letter

No. C.R.T. 2953, dated the 3rd August 1920, on the subject

of certain arrengements which it is proposed to make to control

the export of opium, and of kindred drugs, from the United

Kingdom. The Board of Trade desire to learn whether the

Government of India would be prepared to participate in these

arrangements.

2. It is understood that this enquiry is directed

towards ascertaining whether the Government of India would be

prepared to co-operate in giving effect to the arrangements

proposed in the "draft note", in eo far as exporte from the

United Kingdom to India of the drugs enumerated in paragraph

2 of that note are concerned,

3.

The arrangements at present in force governing

the export of cocaine and similar drugs from the United Kingdom

to India are substantially in accord with the procedure

proposed in the "draft note"; and Hr. Montagu is disposed

to think, on the information available, that the Government

of India will be ready to assist in giving effect to the export regulations now suggested for adoption in the United Kingdom, in so far as India is affected by these regulations. The Government of India have, however, been consulted on the subject, and on the receipt of their reply a further

communication will be made.

Be Asst. Secretary,

BOARD OF TRADE.

I am, Sir,

($d) L.J. KERSHAW,
