(No. 1.) The British Chargé d'Affaires at Montevideo to the Uruguayan Minister for Foreign Affairs.

Your Excellency,

Montevideo, October 19, 1922.

I HAVE the honour to inform your Excellency that, in pursuance of the steps which His Majesty's Government are taking to assist in preventing the improper consumption of opium, morphine, cocaine and similar drugs, they have prohibited the exportation from the United Kingdom to all destinations of the drugs specified below, except under licence. Applications for the grant of licences for exportation to Uruguay should be accompanied by certificates previously issued under the authority of the Uruguayan Government to the effect that the Uruguayan Government are satisfied that "the consignment is required exclusively for legitimate medicinal or scientific purposes, and will not be re-exported."

raw

The drugs for which certificates will be required are: opium, morphine, cocaine, ecgonine and diamorphine (commonly known as heroin) and their respective salts, and medicinal opium, and any preparation, admixture, extract or other substance containing not less than one-fifth per cent. of morphine or one-tenth per cent. of cocaine, ecgonine or diamorphine. His Majesty's Government, may however, find it necessary to extend this list to include any new derivative of morphine or cocaine or of any salts of morphine or cocaine or any other alkaloid of opium or any other drug of

whatever kind which may, in their opinion, be productive, if improperly used, of ill-effects substantially of the same character or nature as or analogous to those produced by morphine or cocaine.

The Government of the Oriental Republic of the Uruguay, accordingly, hereby agrees with the Government of His Britannic Majesty that, with the object of preventing the improper consumption of opium, morphine, cocaine and other similar drugs, applications for the grant of licences for the exportation of these and similar drugs from the United Kingdom to Uruguay shall be accompanied by certificates previously issued by the Uruguayan Government to the effect that the consignment in question is required exclusively for legitimate medicinal or scientific purposes and will not be re-exported.

It is understood that the drugs for which certificates will be required are: raw opium, morphine, cocaine, ecgonine and diamorphine (commonly known as heroin) and their respective salts, and medicinal opium, and any preparation, admixture, extract or other substance containing not less than one-fifth per cent. of morphine or one-tenth per cent. of cocaine, ecgonine or diamorphine.

The Government of the Oriental Republic of the Uruguay likewise agrees that the Government of His Britannic Majesty may, if it finds it necessary, extend the preceding list to include any new derivative of morphine or cocaine or any other alkaloid which, in its opinion, may generate or be

productive, if improperly used, of ill-effects substantially of the same character or nature as those produced by morphine or cocaine or alkaloids analogous to these.

The certificate which the Government of the Oriental Republic of the Uruguay will issue, through the competent body or organisation, that is to say, the National Health Council, will be as follows:
