With reference to the comparison between the number of Opium Divans and Public Houses in Hongkng, I would suggest that Public Houses might be reduced. In both Colonies the reduction of these establishments should be accompanied by the increase of the license fee, as is proposed at the Straits, and I would ask Sir C. Smith whether that fee might not be raised (not to $425 but) to $50.
Approve the proposals in par. 7 with insertion of word "adult" before "male Chinese".

[When these papers are laid before Parliament, I think the whole of the Enclosures to (pp. 20-33) should be omitted, as they refer to details (partly Confidential) not essential to the general question, and also the two Attorney General's reports on the HkKay at p. 43 & p. 46 should be omitted, as such reports are not usually published. The Treasurer's report (p. 47) sufficiently explains the purport of the Ordinance.]
Opium is the China man's medicine against the Malaria of the Malay. It is largely smoked where the men toil hard in the mining and are exposed to the Exhalations of decaying vegetation.
