Colony to see the Chinese Revenue Stations and Revenue Cruisers removed beyond the limits of British territory
and British waters.
It has beer sugposted that this might be accomplished by taking the collection of the Oplum Revenue into our own hands. Hongkong is rightly jealous of the status as an absolutely free port to which its comercial prosperity is so largely due. The creation of bonded warehouses, and insistence that all Opium imported into the Colony shall be deposited therein would be certain infringement upon that status; but the inconvenience of admitting a foreign proventive service would be inzeasurebly greater.
That is, then, the solution which is proposed. The
Hongkong Government would, presumably, in such case, under- take to collect as an oxport tex, and hand over to the Chinese Authorities, (after deducting the cost of collec- tion) the recognised amount which the latter ought properly
