"That in order to secure the fullest possible co-operation between the various countries in regard to the matter, and to assist and advise the Council in dealing with any questions that may arise, an Advisory Committee be appointed by the Council which shall include representatives of the countries chiefly concerned (particularly Britain, France, India, Japan, China, Siam, Portugal, and Holland), subject to the general directions of the Council, at such times as may be found desirable.
"In view of the importance of the co-operation of States which have ratified or may hereafter ratify the Opium Convention, but which are not yet Members of the League, the Netherlands Government be requested to invite their concurrence and co-operation in the arrangements indicated above, and that in the event of such concurrence being given, the Council be authorised to add to the Advisory Committee, in the capacity of Member or Assessor, a representative of any such country which is specially concerned in the Traffic, and that a special invitation be addressed to the United States of America.
"The Council be authorised, if and when they think it desirable, to add assessors to the Committee, not merely representatives of Governments, but persons with special knowledge of the question; and that the expenses and allowances of such members shall be paid out of the funds of the League.
