Translation of a Note from the Mexican Ministry of Finance to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, dated October 3rd., 1911.
Ministry of Finance and Public Credit.
General Administration of Customs. No. 1210.

product the use of still more harmful drugs, such as morphine,

that in spite of this a considerable traffic is carried on in
both drugs which are transhipped to Macao, from whence they are
exported in considerable quantities to Mexico: and, in order to
obtain proof of this the aforesaid Legation desires to be furnish-

ports of the country, and, if so, whether it would be possible to
take any steps to supervise this traffic with the object of placi -ing the Government of Hongkong in a position to ascertain what
transactions in the aforesaid articles are being carried on by firms in the Colony.
Alcaloids such as morphine and cocaine are included under Section 547 of the Tariff, which covers drugs and chemical products, and seeing that, in accordance with the law, importers are not obliged to declare the goods by name, it being sufficient that they should cite the Section and the correspond-
