Sir,

HONGKONG.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

25ta. July, 1911.

With reference to your Confidential Des-

7018692,

-patch of 15th. July, 1910, I have the honour to inform you

10.

that on the 4th. of April, 1910, the Colonial Secretary wrote

to the Consular Authorities in this Colony for Siam, Japan,

United States of America, France and the Netherlands forwarding

copies of Government Notifications Nos. 93 and 94 of 1st. April

1910, and requesting them to be good enough to bring these

Notifications to the attention of their Governments, and to

state that this step had been taken in order to give effect to

the resolution of the Shanghai Opium Conference and that I

hoped that their respective Governments would reciprocate by

prohibiting the export of Prepared Opium, Dross Opiun, Morphine

or Compounds of upium to this Colony except for medicinal pur-

-poses.
