Chargé Tarler to the Secretary of State.

No. 635.]

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your No. 207, dated May 11, 1910,1 on the subject of the international opium conference, and in reply I have to say that on the same day I sent you the following telegram:

The Government of Siam accepts in principle the tentative program outlining proposals for international conference on opium question.

On the 25th of July last the Netherlands minister, Mr. Neiuwenhius, forwarded to His Siamese Majesty’s foreign office the invitation to attend the conference, and it was in turn forwarded to the ministry of finance.

His Siamese Majesty’s foreign minister, Prince Devawongse, is arranging to send an acceptance to the Dutch minister.

The acceptance will state that the Siamese delegates are Phya Visutr Kosa, the Siamese minister to London, and W. J. Archer, Esq., C. M. G., councillor to the Siamese legation in London.

I have, etc.,

G. Cornell Tarler.
