IV. Five proposals, three of them in the form of draft agree- ments, have been prepared with a view to submitting them to the

Second Conference. all these proposels have been discussed by

the Preparatory Committee, namely the proposals put forward by the Chairmen (Netherlands), by Sir Malcolm Delevingne (Great Britain) by Mr.Noville (United States of Amerios), by M.Bourgois (France) and by H.Brenier. The Netherlands and the French draft

conventions are accompanied by explanatory notes. The texts of the draft conventions, the documents which accompany them and the text of the other proposals are annexed to the present report!*

The Netherlands plan has in view only the limitation of

the production of coca leaves, entailing as a consequence the

limitation of the manufacture of cocaine. The other ones cover,

in the opinion of the authors, the whole field of the Second

Conference, including opium and its derivatives as well as

cocaine. The draft convention submitted by the British member of the Committee only deals actually with the limitation of the

manufacture of cocaine and the production of coca leaves, but

it was a part of his proposal that a draft convention in

siniler terms and with certain nccessary adjustments should be

applied to the manufacture of morphine and heroin and the

production of rav opium.
