Malaya as to Hong Kong.

While unable to racommand this
policy, the local Committee appointed to
consider the matter in Malaya have however dram up a very carefully thought out scheme which in the opinion of the Governor
(while he admite that there is and must
be some element of doubt as to the full
success of any policy) promises a large measure of success in the object in view, (viz the gradual but ultimately effective suppression of opium amking), whereLE
he considers that the policy of prohibition
promises no success whatever.
24.
The Committee have come to the
conclusion that in the circumstances of
British Malaya, eventual elimination
of opium smoking can only be brought about by control over smokers individually,
but they are emphatically of opinion for
a variety of cogent reasons that any premature attempt to reduce the amount
of opium freely placed on sule, would produce the most deplorable results,
and that an immediate attempt to introduo@
a system of registration would be foredoomed to failure, They have however, submitted proposals leading up to both registration and rationing in a measurable distance in time; as well as for removing some of the wordt features of the present
system.
