Sir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received November 18.)
Peking, October 2, 1907.
(No. 473.) Sir,
IN compliance with the instructions contained in your telegram No. 100 of the 7th ultimo, I consulted the Governor of Hong Kong as to the proposal that the trade in prepared opium between Hong Kong and the mainland of China should be prohibited, and that each Government should adopt such measures as it deemed fit to prevent smuggling into its own territories.
Having received Sir F. Lugard's assent to the arrangement, I communicated it officially to the Chinese Government in a note dated the 21st instant, copy of which I have the honour to transmit to you herewith.
I have, &c.
(Signed) J. N. JORDAN.
Inclosure in No. 1.
Your Highness,
Sir J. Jordan to Wai-wu Pu.
Peking, September 21, 1907.
I HAD the honour to inform your Highness in paragraph 4 of my note of the 12th ultimo, respecting the restriction of the importation of opium, that as regards the preparation of boiled opium in Hong Kong and the proposals of the Chinese Government for preventing its import into China my information was not yet complete, and I must therefore defer making a reply upon this point.
I have now received instructions from His Majesty's Government to the effect that they are willing to agree to the prohibition of import and export in prepared opium between Hong Kong and China, and they propose that each Government shall take measures to prevent smuggling into its own territories.
I accordingly have the honour to communicate this proposal to your Highness, and avail, &c.
(Signed) J. N. JORDAN.
