As either Corment or Pease would take the job at the present rate, you may think it necessary to improve it. Personally, I should favour the increase. I think we can leave the allowance for the present. As between Corment & Pease, I think the latter is the better man, on paper. Perhaps you would prefer to keep him in his present position.\n\n50m. 11/18. D&S. G. 122/41.\n\napp  \nNext subsequent Paper: `461219` (`2014-4h`) Wt. 30376-81.",

He adduced evidence demonstrating the immense volume of opium seized by the Preventive Service when being smuggled into the Colony from the United Kingdom, India, Saigon, Kwang Chan Wan, and, above all, China; pointed out the practical impossibility, from the geographical position of Hong Kong, of completely suppressing such smuggling; and submitted that as long as outside sources remained open, no further material result could be obtained by way of manipulating the price or output of the Government Monopoly.\n\nWeihaiwei.\n\nThe Commissioner reported that the only opium allowed to be consumed in the Territory was that imported by Government, and issued on payment to such persons and in such quantities as were recommended, for reasons of health, by the Government Medical Officer. The total number of such persons was 34; their average age 62.

        "content_text": "## \n122 \n\nnow in Hsienya county, named Ong, estimated they should receive 1,000,000 dollars in taxes on the poppy-fields. The rate is 15 dollars a mow. At this rate his estimate was over 66,000 mow of land planted in poppy. This amount would be at least 10,000 foreign acres.\n\nAs we went over the districts we looked carefully to see how accurate we thought the Northern officer's estimate was. In our opinion the estimate was not any exaggeration. As carefully as we could estimate it, we think there is at least the full 10,000 foreign acres, or over 66,000 Chinese mow, of land planted in poppy.\n\n\"We believe the only error the Northern officer made in his estimate was as to the amount of taxes he could collect. There is so much bargaining between the officials and the farmers that I doubt if the Northern officials will receive more than 500,000 dollars in taxes at present. In other words, although I believe the Northern officer's estimate of the amount of poppy is correct, I doubt if he will receive taxes on more than half of the fields at present.\n\n\"My own guess before the Northerners came was that they would wait until the best time to collect taxes on the poppy-fields and then would punish the people for planting the fields. Even now there is talk that this is to be done.\n\n\"It is very probable that heavy fines will be levied on the people for planting: double revenue from the fields, once as taxes and once as fines, will thus be received.\n\n\"The last pictures I sent you, showing the poppy-fields, were not very good ones. I just received prints of later pictures that are much better, and am enclosing three for you. The pictures were taken about three weeks ago.\n\n\"The Northerners are meeting opposition in their occupation of the county. Bandits have attacked them in two places, and at one of the places fighting was quite severe. As the Northerners seem to be interested only in making money out of the people at present, just as the bandits did, they are bound to meet opposition. All they have done since coming has been to collect the taxes on the poppy-fields.\n\n\"Because the Northerners have come in this spirit, there is bound to be fighting between them and the bandits at times.\"\n\nThis letter confirms the report I have already made to you.\n\n17/10/21  \nBechett  \n*Not printed.\n\nI have, &c.  \nH. PHILLIPS.\n\n## \n### Urgent  \n16.  \n551  \n18 Oct 21  \n\nI am directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 14 Oct No. `7. 3770/157/10` enclosing White Paper which it is proposed to lay before Parliament, dealing with the cultivation of opium in China.\n\n2. I am to request you to inform the Marquess Curzon of Kedleston that Mr. Churchill sees no objection in circulating the further documents.\n\n(Signed) G. GRINDLE",

Similarly Section 3(3) of the New Zealand Act is an adaption of Section 13 of the Imperial Act; and I am advised that the words \"as if that territory were part of HM's dominions\" import the necessity for reciprocal legislation by Protectorates, such reciprocal legislation by any part of H.M.'s dominions being required by Section 14(1) of the Imperial Act (and Section 3(2) of the New Zealand Act) before the Act can be extended to such parts.\n\n3.
