Sir,
I am directed by the Permanent Central Opium
Board to take steps to obtain from the competent authorities
of the Bahrain Islands estimates of the various drugs
required for legitimate use during the year 1938,
The Convention for limiting the Manufacture and
regulating the distribution of Narcotic Drugs, signed at
Geneva on July 13th,1931, (copy of which I am forwarding
under separate cover), lays down, in Article 2, paragraph 3,
that the Permanent Central Board shall request estimates
for countries or territories to which this Convention does
not apply to be made in accordance with the provisions of
this Convention, and that if for any such country estimates
are not furnished, the Supervisory Body (set up in accordance
with the terms of Article 5, paragraph 6) shall itself,
as far as possible, make the estimate.
I therefore have the honour to adc that the competent
authorities of the Bahrain Inlands be requested to furnish
to the Permanent Central Opium Board before August 1st
of the present year, estimates of the drugs required
durirg 1938, and for this purpose enclose a copy of the
relevant form (Statistical Form B(L) )•
I have the honour to be.
