Your despatch 25th

February Secret. Opium.

I regret that His Majesty's

Government cannot approve any

departure from the existing

policy at present, especially in

view of the fact that, as I

informed you in my telegram of

Nations Commission to investigate

the Opium problem in the Far East,

has now been definitely appointed

and consideration of future

policy must naturally await the

result
