No. 197.]

Sir: Referring to my No. 183, of June 4, I have now the honor to transmit, for the information of the department, a copy—in the French text—of the July number of La Sucrerie Belge,^a which contains a discussion of the denunciation by the British Government of the Brussels sugar convention and of the causes which have led thereto.

In connection with the discussion an outline of the existing conditions of the sugar industry over the world, and especially in Belgium, is made.

It should be noted that the denunciation of Great Britain will not go into practical effect until September, 1908.

I have, etc.,

Henry Lane Wilson.
