I have the honour to transmit for your information the enclosed copy of a correspondence between (a) the local Chamber of Commerce and this Government (b) this Government and Her Majesty's Consul at Saigon, relative to the hardship entailed upon British and German shipping by the system of rewards obtaining at Saigon for information leading to the discovery of smuggled opium on board such vessels.

2. You will observe from the Colonial Secretary's letter No. 969 of the 16th June to the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce that this Government proposes to deal with the matter by making the concealment of opium on board a ship a penal offence, but beyond this preventive measure, the remedy lies with the French authorities.

3. Mr. Consul Tremlett's letter of the 12th June leads me to conclude that any representation on the subject must, to be effectual, emanate from the Imperial Government and so the system appears to be a deliberate predatory attack
