See Japanese Territories (he instanced Kwantung) and that they never have any difficulties there. The new article will be a considerable advance on the present position generally, and I think it will be well to have it in the Agreement even if it does involve a modification of the arrangements at Singapore.

The First Opium Conference will not meet again till the beginning of next week in order to allow time for the Delegations to communicate with their Governments.

I am writing in the same sense to Sir John Anderson and to Waterlow at the Foreign Office. Waterlow and Grindle (or you) will no doubt consult with Sir John about the matter. It might be desirable to consult Sir Hubert Llewellyn Smith on the form of the article. You will remember that a special provision was inserted in the Transit and Maritime Ports Conventions excepting the traffic in opium and other drugs from the provisions of those Conventions, but it will be well to see that the text of the article proposed does not cut across anything in those Conventions.

I hope to get a reply by telegraph on Friday if possible.

Yours sincerely,

Malcolm Delevingne
