Enclosure 3 in No. 1.

Consul-General Sir E. Fraser to Mr. Mackay (British Chamber of Commerce, Shanghai).

Sir,

Shanghai, July 6, 1921. WITH reference to the question of the penalties imposed on British shipowners in connection with the traffic in opium, I had the honour to inform your predecessor on the 25th February last that a copy of his letter of the 17th December, 1920, bad been forwarded by His Majesty's Minister to the Foreign Office.

Sir Beilby Alston now instructs me to inform you that he has received a reply to the effect that a copy of the above letter has been forwarded by His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to the Home Office for communication to Sir Malcolm Delevingne, the British delegate at the forthoming meeting of the Opium Advisory Committee of the League of Nations, and that a copy is also being furnished confidentially to Sir John Jordan, the British assessor on that committee.

I am to add that the views expressed in the penultimate sentence of Mr. Burkill's letter are fully appreciated by His Majesty's Government, and that they have already been brought to the notice of the competent authorities.
