Enclosure 2.

MEMORANDUM.

410

His Britannic Majesty's Consul-General presents his complie- -ments to the Tutu and would call his attention to certain instructions issued by the Commissioner of Police on or prior to March 10, 1913, directing the destruction of stocks of Opium held by Prepared Opium Dealers.

Mr. Jamieson feels himself compelled to protest against the issue of these instructions in that they constitute an infringe- -ment of the spirit of the Opium Agreement of 1911 and are at variance with the telegraphic instructions sent by the Wai Tu Pu to the late Governor General on June 15th. of that year. If the Tu Tu will be good enough to refer to these instructions, of which a copy is herewith enclosed, he will find that they are explanatory of Article 7 of the Agreement and that they specifically state:- *If in any province cultivation has not yet entirely ceased and there are still a large number of smokers, no forcible repressive measures must be taken in that province in respect of the trade in and movement of foreign or native opium".

Recent happenings in certain sections of this province go to show that cultivation of the poppy has not entirely ceased and Kuangtung therefore comes within the scope of these instructions.

Mr. Jamieson accordingly hopes that the Tu Tu will issue instructions to the Commissioner of Police to have his orders in the matter of destroying the stocks of the Prepared Opium dealers rescinded.

H. B. M. Consulate-General,

Canton, April 16, 1913.
