Governments concerned with this Joint Commission intimated that their idea was that the Delegates of each country which was to be represented should proceed independently and immediately with the investigation of the opium question on behalf of their respective countries with a view:

1. To devise means to limit the use of opium in the possessions of that country;

2. To ascertain the best means of suppressing the opium traffic, if such now exists, among their own nationals in the Far East;

3. To be in a position, when the various Commissions meet in Shanghai, to co-operate and offer, jointly or severally, definite suggestions of measures which their respective Governments may adopt for the gradual suppression of opium cultivation, traffic, and use of the drug within their Eastern possessions, and thus to assist China
