The Honourable Mr. H. F. Howard, C.I.2., 1.0.8.,
**Offg. Secretary to the Government of India,
The Honourable the Colonial Secretary, Hongkong.
I am directed to reply to your letter No.2422, dated
the 29th March 1916, reporting that 170 chests of opium
consigned to Mexion were detained in Hongkong and re-shipped
to Caloutta.

India accept the declared destination of opium purchased at
auction sales and privately exported. They, however, fully
appreciate the anxiety of your Government as to the possibility
of opium being smuggled into Hongkong, and will be glad to
adopt such precautions as are possible in order to prevent
this. Thus, they will be prepared not to grant export
passes to Hongkong in circumstances which imply an intention
on the part of the exporter to disregard the Hongkong
Government's regulations, and also to inform that Government
by
