I have the honour to refer you to the Opiu Ordinance, 1923, Section 4, Sub-section 4 prescribing as followe "No expert permit shall be issued under paragraph (d) of "Sub-section (2) until there shall have been produced to the *Superintendent a certificate in the form of the certificate in "the First Schedule or in some form which appears to the "Superintendent to be equivalent, and no such expert permit "shall be issued until the Superintendent is satisfied that such *certificate is genuine and relates to the opium sought to be "exported and has not been obtained by any misrepresentation."
With regard to certificates, in the form of the certificate in the First Schedule, which may be issued by the Japanese authorities in future, I understand that the Superin- tendent of Imports and Exports requires that such certificates be vissed by a British Consular Officer residing near the Japanese authorities issuing them, so that the superintendent may be satisfied that they are genuine.
In this connection I shall be very much obliged if you will kindly inform me whether the Hongkong Government is willing to accept my certification as to the genuineness of such official documents as equivalent to the visa of a British Consul in Japanese territory.
I have etc..
(B4). Seuchi Takahashi, Consul-General for Japan.
