of the use of hemp drugs upon their consumers, and the information which has
been brought together on the subject in the Report of the Commission is of
great interest and value, not only to Government and its officers, but also to the
general public.

        69. The acknowledgments of the Government are especially due to the
three unofficial gentlemen, Raja Soshi Sikareshwar Ray, Kunwar Harnam Singh,
and Lala Nihal Chand, who at great expenditure of time and comfort, and, in one
case at least, at some risk to health, took part in the investigations of the Com-
mission. The inability of the Governor General in Council to agree with two
of these gentlemen, in the points on which they dissent from the views of their
colleagues, does not diminish his appreciation of the care and labour they have
bestowed on the task entrusted to them.

        ORDER.—Ordered, that a copy of this Resolution and of the Report be
forwarded to all Local Governments and Administrations and to the Agent to
the Governor General in Baluchistan.

        Ordered also, that copies of the Resolution be forwarded to the President
and Members of the Commission.

        Ordered further, that the Resolution be published in the Gazette of India.

Offg. Secretary to the Government of India.
