chests for export. It is submitted with deference that the Macao Farmer's allowance is much in excess of what he can legitimately dispose of, for (a) the daily consumption in Macao itself is understood to be on an average not more than 2/3rds. of a chest per diem, and (b) the ports to which uncertified opium may legitimately be exported are very few and have actually decreased in number during the years in which the demands of the Macao

Farmer have increased.

As the difference in price between the un-

-cortified and the certified drug is over $2,000 per chest, it is clear that ordinary measures will not avail to check illicit trade in opium. It is necessary to strike at the root of the evil by limiting the supply to legitimate requirements, and I am to enquire on behalf of this Government whether the Government of Macao will be so good as to co-operate with this Government by restricting the chests of uncertified opium which the Macao Farmer may import to such a number as will supply the daily consumption in Macao itself and the legitimate export from Macao to countries

other than China.
