Enclosure No.3 in Mr. Jamieson's No.114, General Series, to Sir

Your Excellency,

H.B.M.

John Jordan.

Consulate General,

Canton, November, 2nd, 1909.

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency's communication of October 31st, in reply to my despatch of October 18th., having reference to the restrictions imposed at Canton on the wholesale opium trade, in which British merchants are interested.

I gather therefrom that, in Your Excellency's opinion, any interference on my part in this matter, which is stated to be one concerning the infernal Government of China,

ia uncalled for. Stress is also laid on Great Britain's

friendly assistance in the suppression of opium, and it is therefore, contended that the measures adopted should be welcomed by her.

Permit me, in reply to point out that the agree– ment to assist in apppressing the opium evil was one arrived at between our two Governments, and its interpretation accordingly lies with them.

On the strength of certain facts laid before him the representative of the British Government, His Majesty's Minister at Peking, has come to the conclusion that the spirit of the agreement is being infringed, and he has requested the

representative

His Excellency

Yuan,

Acting Governor-General of the

Liang Kuang.
