CONFIDENTIAL.

Sir,

Government House,

Hong Kong 30th July, 1926.

ee Encl. 3

I have the honour to inform you that the Superintendent, Imports and Exports Department of this Colony, reports a seizure of cocaine which on analysis proved to be almost identical with two other seizures recently made from ships which had come from Japan.

Among the papers seized were found a number

£

of envelopes addressed to Messrs. Wai Kee, Kobe, Japan, specimens of which I enclose. Cables to and from this

firm were also found.

☎. From enquiries made it would appear that all the cocaine referred to had been shipped by this firm.

I shall be glad if you will be good enough to transmit this information to the Japanese Authorities

concerned.

I have, &c.,

(Sd.) C. CLEMENTI,

Governor, &c.

His Britannic Majesty's Consul-General,

KO BE.
