that Nemasie is not to be employed in

connection with the purchase of opium.

I do not know whether the

Company has bought any opium through

this firm, but, in any case, we trust

that they will see the desirability of

falling into line with the

instructions given to the Straits

Government.

The Governor of the Straits

is also being asked to communicate

confidentially to the Government of Sarawak

St a warning on the lines of that

which it is proposed should be given by

the Government of India to the French

Indo-China authorities.

I have written to you

confidentially and semi-officially as

it seemed more appropriate to do so

than for the Office to write an official

letter to the Company about this matter.

Yours very sincerely,

(Signed) J. J. PASKIN.
