FOREIGN OFFICE, S.W.1.

19th July, 1927.

With reference to your letter No.502,276/53 of the

12th instant regarding the supply of opium to various

governments by M.A.Nemazee of Singapore, I am directed by

Secretary Sir Austen Chamberlain to inform you that he

concurs in the suggestion that the French authorities should

be warned regarding M.A.Nemazee's antecedents and that he

agrees that such a arning would probably have greater force

if it were sent direct by the Government of India to the

authorities in Indo-China. I am to suggest, therefore,

that the India Office might be informed accordingly and

requested to take action in the sense suggested in the

second paragraph of the letter under reply.

2. A copy of this correspondence has been sent to the

India Office.

The Under Secretary of State,

Home Office.

I am, etc.,

(Sa.) George Mounsey.
