sir,

In reply to your despatch No. 7 (1184/21) of the

21st February, I have the honour to inform you that

statisties and information regarding the smuggling

of opium and other narcotics from Formosa into this địa-

triot show that the smuggling has remained fairly constant

during the last two years, not showing any parti sular

tendency to increase or to decrease,

--

The chief offenders are Japanese motor-schooners

vessels of one or two hundred tons, and of sufficiently

light draught to be able to enter the numerous inlets on

this coast, where their operations are difficult of de-

testion or of observation.

I have the honour to enclose a table showing the amounts

and values of smuggled opium and morphia confissated by the

Amoy Oustoms during the year 1920.

I have ete..

(Signed) 3.0. Tours.

Beilby Alston, X.0.H.G,G.B.,

His Majesty's Minister,
