sir.
I have the honour, under instructions from my Government to address Your Excellency on the subject of the cultivation of, and traffic in, opim in this
country.
His Majesty's Government while viewing the suppres- sion of the opium trade in China as a matter of universal concern inasmuch as it affecte the welfare of large sections of the population, is bound to regard tha question primarily from the point of view of the solem treaty obligation undertaken by Uhins to Great Britain, and in order to show more clearly how the present condi- tion of affairs presents itself to His Majesty's Govern- ment from this aspect, I venture to recall to Your Excellency the salient facts of the agreement concluded between the two nations.
In 1907 His Majesty's Government undertook to diminish annually for an exɛerimental period of three years the amount of opium exported from India to China by one-tenth of the average sanual amount taken by the letter; the further proviso was added that "if during these three years the Chinese Government have duly carried out their arrangements for diminishing the pro- duction and consumption of opium in Chine, His Majesty's Government undertala to continus in the same proportion this annual diminution of the export after the three yeare in queation,"
His ärellenoy
Dr. V.*.Yen,
Minister for Foreign Affairs.
