In this particular case some

embarrassment was caused to the

British Representative on the League of

Nations Advisory Committee, since he had

not had the opportunity of seeing a copy

of the Report in question, and was there-

the authenticity, or otherwise, of the

extract from it which was circulated

by the League of Nations.

In any case, it

is very desirable that I should have early

information on any subject connected with

opium, and I shall be glad if in future a

copy of the Report of the Superintendent

of Imports and Exports could be sent to

available

me as soon as it is ready for públics.

I shall be glad also if copies

of the more important of the other

Administration Reports could similarly

be sent as so on as they are ready, without

waiting till they are available in the

bound form,

& that every effort should be

made to prepare the compare band

tuve,

volume as early as possible
