sir,
In accordance with the instructions contained in
your despa toh Mo. 183 ( 8338/21) of July 18th last, I
have had interviews with the Commissioner of Customs
and the Commissioner of Kunicipal Police in an endeavour
to awlve measures for the suppression of the muggling
of opium and arms at Shanghai.
As you are aware the problem is a peculiarly
difficult one owing to the number of different authorities
and jurisdictions involved. The Municipal police function
in the international settlement only, and then not on the
private wharves where most of the smuggling is done. The
wharves belong to shipping companies of different nationali ti es
and oumnot be entered by the police without a warrant from
the national authority concerned. Moreover the province of
the Municipal Police ends at the water's edge and the harbour
itself is looked after by the Customs kiver Polloe who are
in adequate in mumbers to control affectively the nine miles
stretch of river from the Tongkow Creek to the Kiangtan
Arsenal, closely packed as it is with ships on both banks
and in mid-stream.

Mr. Lowder considered that the Municipal Police
night give greater assistance than had hitherto been the
case, and it was awordingly arranged that Mr. Golding,
the thief I demirvəyor, should confer with Mr. Momen,
