§ SIR JOSEPH PEASEasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether the Treaty with Korea, which was negotiated by Admiral Willes in 1882, contained an article which forbad trade in opium in terms similar to Article VII. of the Treaty between the United States and Korea; and, whether that article has been expunged in the Treaty which has recently been negotiated by Sir Harry Parkes with the Korean Government?
§ LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICEThe Treaty with Korea, recently concluded by Sir Harry Parkes, does not contain an article forbidding trade in opium; but the exclusion of opium from Korea has been equally well provided for by its insertion in the Tariff as a prohibited article.
