FOREIGN OFFICE to MR. LONDON (GENEVA).

(Sent 9 p.m., 9th December, 1924.) TELEGRAM.

(Copy Received in Colonial Office, 13th December, 1924.)

No. 119. (R.) FOLLOWING for Delevingne :-

Your letter to Waterlow of 6th December: Attitude to be adopted towards American proposals at Opium Conference.

You should if necessary take extremely firm line on question of competence if American proposals for revision of Article 8 are brought up in any form. Principle involved transcends in importance immediate issues as regards opium smoking.

If Conference nevertheless decides it is competent to consider American proposals, which will then presumably be carried by majority, you will of course not be able to accede.

In any event you should bring forward proposals for Commission of Inquiry in such manner and at such moment as you think best. It should include Philippines.

Opium-Gp. 6. 39/2372. 12. 10/30. (7212) M. & S.
