Sir:

There is enclosed for consideration and such action as may be deemed appropriate a copy of a letter from the World Fibre Corporation, Chicago, Illinois, together with copies of the enclosures, with reference to the hemp development in the United States. It will be noted that the writer requests an expression and opinion apparently as to the application of the Marihuana Act to the situation. The World Fibre Corporation has been advised of the reference of the matter to you.
