Sir, 27th November 1903.
I am directed by the Secretary of State for India in Council to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter of 25th November 1903 on the
subject of the draft Convention prepared by the Paris Sanitary
Conference.
In reply I am to say that Mr. Brodrick concurs in Lord Lansdowne’s
proposal to give the British delegates the requisite authority to sign the
Convention, subject to reservations on certain points. The Board of
Trade and the Licil Government Board will doubtless advise whether
any reservations are required regarding the provisions which deal with
the subject of rats, and I am to say that the Secretary of State for India
is content to leave this point to those authorities.
With regard to the
Persian Gulf

I am to say that in the opinion of
Mr. Brodrick a reservation should bo made respecting any provision of
the Convention which invites the Mixed Commission to provide funds
for establishing a sanitary station at Ormuz, or which otherwise approves
the establishment of such a station at that place. I am to refer to my
letter B. & S. 2925, dated 17th November 1903, on the subject.
I have, &c.,
