Dear Grindle,

4th March 1921,

Opium Advisory Committee.

264

As Spicer is away in Paris I am sending you

a note in reply to your letter of the 2nd inst.

There appears to be no trace in our records of any proposal to appoint Assessors to advise the British Delegate and, personally, I think there can be little doubt that Mr. Balfour had in mind the "three Assessors not representa- tives of Governments", referred to in the Council Document

No: 133 which you mention.

I will, however, consult Spicer on the matter on his

return from Paris,

time next; and if

Monday

I find there has been any modification in the proposals out- lined in the Council Document I will see that you are

duly advised.

Yours sincerely,

C. Longhurst.

C.E.A. Grindle Esq., C.B., C.M.G.,

Colonial office.
