This Association has been officially informed by the Japanese Government that the Japanese monopolies of opium at Tsingtao, and in the leased territories of Kuan tung will be abolished by the end of the fiscal year, March 31st. It is most desirable for the moral and social welfare of the Far Eastern countries that the Opium monopolies of Hong Kong, Singapore, and Macao, the latter dependent on the Hong Kong Opium monopoly, should also be abolished. It has been frequently asserted that the Hong Kong Opium monopoly will be abolished in the course of a few years, but the renewal of the Opium contract for the supply of opium for another five years at a fixed rate, made with the India Government seems inconsistent with this.

This Association therefore begs most respectfully to direct the attention of the Commission of the League of Nations dealing with the traffic in narcotics to these particulars.

I have, &c.,
