British delegate will take if not all, will do the same. the line that the matter is outside the scope of the
conference and was considered by the First Conference (on control of opium smoking in the Far East) which reached an agreement as to further measures to be taken.
in British territories was then fully set out, and apart from question as to competence of the conference, no useful purpose will be served by re-opening the matter. He will then propose that the Council of the League of Nations should be invited to appoint a small impartial commission with an American chairman to visit the territories
concerned of all nationalities as well as any other countries, such as China, that may be necessary, in order to investigate and report on all relevant facts as
affecting further measures of repression. In our opinion, domain should include nationals of Powers possessing Far Eastern territories.
of this proposal would be to disarm American criticism, which is ill-informed as to our administrative difficulties in the Far East, and to convince public opinion that we do not shirk impartial investigation nor desire to take up obstructive attitude. If you agree that it would have this effect and would be acceptable to United States Government you should explain position frankly to them and ask them to instruct their delegation at Geneva to help to give our proposal effect by co-operating with British delegate when he puts it forward.
