H.B.M. Consulate General,

July 21,

Canton,

1910.

Having reference to previous correspondence on the

subject of the recently instituted levy on prepared opium, in

the province of Kuangtung, I have the honour to inform you that

His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires has supported at the Wal Wu Pu the proto theprotests which I have addressed to the Acting Governor General

regarding the incidence of the levy, in so far as raw opium is

concerned.

The Board, while refusing to admit that a levy on pre-

pared opium in a Treaty port constitutes an infraction of the

Chefoo Convention, are willing, however, to consider, and

consult with Canton upon, a suggestion that no time limit, within

which opium must be boiled down, be prescribed.

I should be glad to learn in what light a proposal of

this kind would be viewed by those interested.

I have eto,

(ed) J.W.Jamieson.

His Excellency,

The Officer Administering the Government,

I ONG K ON G.

Consul General.
