part of the world now admitted that the new tax is illegal, but this is also agreed to by the Wai-Wu-Pu.
The delay on the part of the Kwangtung Authorities to carry out the instructions received from Peking and abolish the monopoly and the tax 18, I understand, due to the action of the Kwong Wing Yuen Firm who having incurred heavy expenditure in starting the monopoly, in addition to the amount they have had to pay to the Officials and to certain Members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce at Canton, are naturally unwilling to surrender the position, at all events until they have recouped themselves for the expenses incurred.
The proposal to extend the time for boiling from 3 to 10 days, and later on, to an indefinite period, is presumably merely put forward with a view to gaining time.
Such a concession could not possibly be accepted by the British ferchants, a view which the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce support.
Nothing less than a return to the status quo ante would meet the
base.
The Committee of this Chamber earnestly request Your Excellency to immediately pursuade the Wai-Wu-Pu to send positive instructions to the iceroy of the Two Kwang ordering him to at once break up the monopoly xercised by the Kwong Wing Yuen Firm and to put an end to the imposition if this new tax, and all other hindrances to the free trade in opium to hich British "erchants and their customers are entitled under Treaty.
The actual losses incurred by the British firms already amount to very large sum and unless trade very shortly resumes ita normal condition, urther very heavy losses will be incurred through the certain ultimate allure of many of the native dealers.
These losses the Committee consider should certainly be made good y the Chinese Officials.
Again thanking Your Excellency for what you have done in the past n this connection..
I have eto,
(sd) E.A.Hewett.
Chairman.
