GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
HONGKONG.
13th July, 1914.
2799 with reference to my confidential despatch of the
16th June, I have the honour to transmit copy of a letter which
I have received from the Governor of Macao, who has but lately
assumed the Government in succession to M. Sanches de Miranda,
on the subject of the conditions under which the Government of
India proposes that opium for the use of the Macao Opium Farm
should be exported from India, together with copy of my reply
to M. Carlos da Maia.
2.
The procedure under Condition 3 might perhaps be
simplified by providing that the Customs Certificates should be
produced to the Governor of Hongkong who could telegraph the information to the Goverment of India. But it is not likely
that the provisions of Article V of the Anglo-Portuguese Agree-
ment will be called into operation because I learn from a telegram, copy enclosed, received on the 12th instant from His Britannic Majesty's Minister at Mexico that the Government of that country is about to legislate to prohibit the import of
opium except for medicinal purposes.
3.
I may explain that I have been in communication
with the Minister on the subject of what regulations exist in
Mexico with regard to the import of opium for the reason that I
was unwilling to allow any sale of prepared opium for export to
