This threefold control of persons, buildings and materialo could be effecte? in the following manner:-

1) By making it absolutely compulsory for persona furnished with licences to make declarations.

2) By having special registers kupt up for all these operations and carefully inspected by the

authorities.

3) By providing for the inspection of establish-

ments and of registers.

4 By compulsory labelling of envelopes and receptnoles containing these substances.

This measure

is of great importance in trooing the illicit traffic

at its source.

5) By introducing a system of "acquit à caution"

in connection with imports.

6) By requiring export licences or permits to be prepared in duplicate, one copy being attached to the manifest or waybill till it reaches its final destina- tion and bearing a detailed record of all the movements at each port of trans-shipment, and the second copy being forwarded to the Government of the importing country. This system, which in no way hampers wholesale trade, offers far better guarantees than the import certificate which is both vexatious and

ineffective.

7) By framing measures to deal with:-

trans-shipment,

warehousing,

transit,

through free ports.
