        "content_text": "# 423 \n\n## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24TH NOVEMBER, 1877.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY then says:-Gentlemen, it becomes my duty to lay upon the table the Estimates for the year 1878, and, in doing so, I have first to draw your attention to the financial statement which was placed in my hands immediately on my arrival in the Colony in April last. This is the return of the expenditure of the Colony for 1876, which is dated the 4th April, 1877, and was issued from the Colonial Secretary's Office on the 13th April. As you are aware, this return contains the last complete statement of any one year's financial transactions of the Colony, and on my arrival my attention was at once drawn to this important document by the Colonial Secretary, Mr. **GARDINER AUSTIN**. I found on examining it that the revenue of the year 1876 had amounted to $885,308, whereas the expenditure of the same year had amounted to $902,500. More than that, whilst the revenue of 1876 was less than the expenditure of that year, it was also less than the revenue of the preceding year, and whilst the expenditure of 1876 was in excess of the revenue, it was also in excess of the expenditure of the preceding year; or, in other words, the authentic figures placed in my hands, showed that the revenue of the Colony was declining, that the expenditure was increasing, and had passed beyond the revenue being something like $17,000 in excess of the revenue. Now, how was that $17,000 paid? The $17,000 came out of the balance in the Colonial chest. The balance in the Colonial chest when the estimates were framed, and at the end of 1876 amounted to $134,297. There is no doubt that was a very respectable balance to have in the chest, and when my predecessor framed estimates which enabled him to draw only so small a sum as $17,000 from it, every one must feel that his estimates were safe and prudent.\n\nHowever that may be, it was my duty, having to face a financial condition such as this, to look very carefully at both sides of the balance-sheet of the Colony, to endeavour on the one hand to stimulate the revenue, and on the other to carefully watch the expenditure. In a Colony such as this, a Crown Colony, the real responsibility devolves upon the representative of the Crown. The Governor is expected by his instructions to look most carefully into the expenditure of the Colony, watch it month by month, and under the Treasury regulations which give him that authority and impose the duty upon him, it is laid down that as early in each month as the expenditure for the ensuing month can be seen with sufficient accuracy, the Heads of Departments are to draw up a requisition in accordance with the classified list of heads in the estimates, to be laid before the Governor for his sanction, and if the Governor sanctions it, a letter is written to the Head of the Department to that effect. Such throughout the Colonial Empire is the manner in which the expenditure is watched by the Governor under the Treasury instructions.\n\nOn the 25th May, I made a minute that I did not see that the Treasury instructions in this respect were complied with in this Colony. On the 25th May, I received requisitions for expenditure incurred in the month of May by various Heads of Departments. What was the use of putting them before me on the 25th May? The expenditure had taken place, and I had no power of checking it if I thought it necessary to do so. Accordingly, I inquired how it came to happen that the requisitions did not come before the Governor in the time laid down in the Treasury instructions, and then I found it had been the practice for some years to send in the requisition for expenditure near the end of the month in which it had been incurred. The formality was gone through with great strictness for the Governor to approve of such requisitions; after that, a letter was written to the Heads of Departments informing them they were at liberty to incur the expenditure, which practically, had been already incurred.\n\nOf course, it may occur to some of you that the Heads of Departments are responsible officers, and that whatever Treasury instructions may say, Heads of Departments will be themselves responsible. That is a very good argument as applying to Colonies with responsible Governments; there the Heads of Departments are responsible, but in a Crown Colony it is different; the Governor is expected to look carefully into the expenditure, to check it if necessary and to stop improper expenditure. Well, it will not require much exertion, it will not be a difficult thing, for Heads of Departments to comply with my wishes in that respect, and work the requisitions in accordance with the Treasury instructions. It does not follow that the Governor is bound every month to cut down the requisitions which come before him. As you all know, the very power of cutting them down and the fact of the Governor's looking after these matters in good time from month to month will often operate to check what may be needless expenditure.\n\nWith respect to the question of revenue, I have been extremely anxious to ascertain how far the revenue we have been receiving in the Colony is a healthy revenue, and how far it may be developed, if necessary, without imposing any further taxation on the Colony. Now, to take the items as they stand in the estimates laid before you, you will find our first item is the land revenue. I estimate that for the year 1878 at $200,000. The actual sum collected in the first nine months of the present year under that head was $194,000. We expect to get a sum in the three subsequent months which will raise the total to considerably over $200,000, but in making my estimate for the next year, I have confined it to the $200,000, and I do it with the assurance of the Surveyor-General that that sum is well within the mark. I must attribute the sound state of that revenue to the admirable administration of the Department presided over by my Honourable friend the Surveyor General, Mr. **PRICE**. The improvements at the other side of the harbour, and the drainage, the many useful works he has in hand, and the good sites he has laid out for buildings along the new roads he has constructed, have no doubt in a most healthy manner stimulated the prosperity of the Colony and helped to give us this increasing income.\n\nThe next item is rents exclusive of land. I estimate that at a few thousand dollars less than actually received in 1876. It then reached $61,446. I estimate it for next year at $58,000, but it will probably reach a larger figure. I now come to the licences. Of these licences, the important ones are the spirit retailers', the pawnbrokers', and the Opium farm.\n\n## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24TH NOVEMBER, 1877. 523\n\nThe important licences are the spirit retailers', the pawnbrokers', and the Opium farm. Now, in every Eastern Colony they have licences or farms of this kind. I had to deal with the little Colony of Labuan, and had opportunities of consulting the neighbouring Governors, the Governors of Singapore and Saigon, and others interested in the management of such revenue farms. It is of importance to know whether these farms really bring us in the proper amount of money. Now, what has happened about the Opium farm? It fetched in 1875, $137,000 for the whole year; in 1876, $133,000; and this year we will receive from it only $132,000. The Opium farm is declining in value, because it has been sold to the Opium farmer at a slight falling-off in value. Well, it is a curious fact that, while the Opium farm has been declining in value, the number of chests of Opium forwarded to this Colony have been increasing year by year. It is very remarkable that our trade in Opium with California, Australia, and a few other places, has been increasing, that our Chinese population has not been declining, and that nevertheless our Opium farm has been declining.\n\nWhat has happened in the Straits Settlements? The farms there sold in 1876 for $837,000. They have been re-let now for $1,020,000, the increase in all the Penang farms being $161,000, and in the Singapore Opium farm $28,000. Whilst they have been increasing, we have been falling back. In Hongkong, there are 130,000 Chinese; in the Straits Settlements, 101,000. How is this to be accounted for? There are three means of ascertaining what really is the amount of Opium consumed by the Chinese, and what the Opium farmer ought to divide with the Government.\n\nThe first depends upon having an intimate business knowledge of the Chinese, of understanding especially the means they have of dealing with questions of this kind, in short to have that genuine acquaintance with the trading operations of the Chinese, which would enable the Government to form for itself an independent opinion. In addition to that, it is important to have before the Government, authentic facts and opinions from the European houses importing Opium; finally, the Hongkong Government is in a position to obtain information from the Chinese Maritime Customs, who have accurate means of knowing the number of chests of Opium consumed in this Colony. With these three sources of information at the disposal of the Government, the Opium farm ought to sell for its proper value.\n\nNow, what had the Government before it when the farm was sold? The Government had its own knowledge, somewhat imperfect, I fear, of the Chinese, of their business habits, and of the means they would endeavour to get this farm. The Government also had before it statements from some European importers of the drug into the Colony. But the Government did not appear to have any information from the Chinese Maritime Customs' officers. Now, with respect to the information obtained from European houses; in looking through the papers on the subject, I observe an important piece of information was communicated by Mr. **SASSOON**. The facts he laid before the Government, I have had an opportunity of testing, and I find they were perfectly accurate. They have been supported by the independent testimony I have obtained of the officers of the Chinese Maritime Customs.\n\n| Source        | Description                                                                                           |\n|---------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| Government    | Knowledge of Chinese business habits                                                                  |\n| European Houses| Statements from importers of Opium                                                                   |\n| Chinese Maritime Customs | Accurate means of knowing the number of chests of Opium consumed                                  |\n\nUnfortunately, the Opium farm was sold not upon the data furnished by Mr. Sassoon. Had it been, it ought to have realised a far larger sum.\n\nBut how ought an Opium farm to be sold? If you get a number of tenders, and assume that they are all genuine, you are very likely to be mistaken. If, on the other hand, you do that which the Singapore Government threatened to do, which the Government of Saigon threatened to do, which was done before now by the authorities in Netherlands-India, where they have a population of 300,000 Chinese to deal with, or what I myself had to do in Labuan, then indeed you deal with it in a way which enables you to get at its fair value, and which compels the Chinese farmer to pay to Government the fair proportion they should of a great business and large profits.\n\nWhen I went to the little Colony at the other side of the China Sea, $440 a month was received from the Opium farm. It had been $450 a month, but the farmer went to my predecessor, and explained that he was being ruined. Fortunately, on passing through Singapore, I had the opportunity of seeing Sir **HARRY ORD**, who pointed out to me the proper way of dealing with the Opium farm, and soon after arrival in Labuan, I had the satisfaction of learning from one or two of the leading Chinese merchants that they were really willing to give me the best advice and assistance they could on the question. I well remember one of them (Mr. **CHOA MAHSOO**) came to me at Govt House and said \"The Opium farm is undersold. If you choose to take it into your own hand and let the superintendent sell the Opium, instead of selling it at $440 you will be entitled to a larger sum.\" He gave me his figures. He said the number of Chinese is so much, the export of Opium so much, the Government is entitled to expect a fair share, and the farmer will have a profit.\n\nI took his advice. The result was that in a few weeks the Opium farmer came and offered $600. That was declined. He then offered $800, and before the end of the year, when we were making our preparations to deal with it, he offered $1,000; and before I left that little Colony, that Opium farm was sold for $1,450 a month. Thoroughly competent judges are of opinion that your Opium farm, instead of declining, ought to have been fetching, instead of only $132,000, ought to have fetched nearer a quarter of a million this year.",

It is the old story. Such things are always said, and I believe they have been said here too;",

Messieurs, nous n'aurions littéralement qu'à paraître pour que le Tonkin soit à nous... 1\n\nEh bien, la situation a changé.\n\nM. le rapporteur. Pas beaucoup ! M. Georges Perin. Vous reconnaissez vous-même qu'elle a changé, puisque dans votre rapport vous dites, parlant des 3,000 hommes de troupes françaises qu'on doit envoyer au Tonkin, et des 1,000 tirailleurs annamites: « Il a paru à votre commission que ce déploiement de forces était suffisant et que, d'autre part, il n'avait rien d'exagéré. »\n\nVous admettez donc aujourd'hui que, s'il suffit de paraître, il faut au moins paraître accompagné de quelques milliers d'hommes. (Approbation sur divers bancs.)\n\nVoilà ce qui me paraît changer singulièrement la question, mais aussi elle se trouve placée sous son vrai jour.\n\nC'est sans doute à cela que pensait M. le ministre des affaires étrangères, lorsqu'il disait au Sénat qu'il fallait se mettre en garde contre les entreprises romanesques. M. le ministre des affaires étrangères ne croyait pas probablement et ne croit pas aujourd'hui qu'il suffise de paraître au Tonkin pour s'en emparer; il pense qu'il faut y paraître accompagné d'un nombre d'hommes respectable et, par conséquent, engager les forces de la France dans...\n\nDÉBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\nAnnée 1883\n\nde vue économique la prise de possession du Tonkin ne pouvait donner que des avantages très contestables, et que l'opinion était victime d'une illusion en s'imaginant qu'on allait par là donner à notre commerce un marché considérable et créer des débouchés à nos industries.\n\nJ'ai dit que nous allons éparpiller nos forces tandis que nous avons le devoir de les concentrer en France.\n\nLorsqu'une première fois on a discuté la question, j'ai pu, en causant avec beaucoup de mes collègues, voir que, si on l'avait de grands doutes sur les avantages réels qu'on pourrait retirer d'une expédition au Tonkin, on n'en avait pas sur la difficulté qu'il y a à quitter un pays dont on a pris possession déjà, ce serait une reculade, une abdication, comme le dit le Gouvernement dans l'exposé des motifs.\n\nMais enfin, l'amour-propre national est engagé.\n\nSi l'amour-propre national était tellement engagé que nous dussions, ou lui faire subir un outrage grave, ou aller en avant, je ne vous proposerais pas de vous arrêter. J'estime qu'on doit être aussi soucieux de l'honneur du pays que du sien propre, et je ne proposerais jamais à mon pays une reculade, pas plus que je n'en accepterais pour moi-même.\n\nAujourd'hui, que pouvons-nous faire ? Nous ne sommes pas en possession du Tonkin; il ne s'agirait pas pour nous d'abandonner un pays que nous posséderions. Nous sommes toujours sous l'empire du traité de 1874; nous avons des garnisons dans trois villes, et puis... je n'ai pas parlé de ces faits pour ne pas allonger la discussion, nous avons cru devoir nous lier volontairement par une condamnation là-dessus.\n\nA moins qu'on ne veuille absolument prendre possession du pays, étendre notre empire colonial, je crois que cette solution serait acceptable. Mais ici, de ma discussion, j'ai à répondre à une opinion très répandue dans la Chambre et dont on peut trouver la trace dans les documents officiels.\n\nOn nous dit qu'il est nécessaire que la France ait aujourd'hui une politique coloniale, que la France s'affirme, ce qu'elle n'a pas fait peut-être dans ces dernières années, et montre qu'elle entend reprendre, comme puissance coloniale, le rang dont on a pu croire un instant qu'elle était déchue.\n\nDÉBATS PARLEMENTAIRES\n\n231\n\n16 Mai\n\n943\n\n[CHAMBRE]\n\nAppel à l'histoire, que cette colonie d'exploitation nous l'avons vue dans toute sa gloire, dans tout son développement se créer, prospérer et se développer aux Indes, dans les mains des Anglais. Je sais que, précisément à propos du Tonkin, le nom de l'Inde a été prononcé. On nous a dit: Il y a là une occasion de comment et promptement à ce résultat, que vous en étendant l'empire colonial de la France dans l'extrême Orient, en créant un grand empire français de l'Indo-Chine, nous aurons une compensation, et peut-être pourrons-nous ainsi nous consoler de ne plus avoir cet empire de l'Inde perdu autrefois.\n\nM. le comte de Douville-Maillefeu.\n\nM. Georges Perin. Ils verraient que l'Inde est aujourd'hui pour l'Angleterre une source de soucis très grands. (Nouvelles interruptions à gauche et au centre.)\n\nM. Georges Perin. Je dirai à ceux de mes collègues qui protestent que, s'ils suivaient le mouvement de l'opinion publique en Angleterre, s'ils lisaient tout ce qui est publié sur cette question, ils verraient que l'Inde coûte cher à l'Angleterre.\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères. Il serait impossible, messieurs, de ne pas rendre pleine justice à la persévérance que M. Georges Perin a montrée dans son opposition. Les évènements, au lieu de la désarmer, l'affermissent.\n\nVoilà neuf ans que nous sommes établis au Tonkin, en vertu d'un traité. Nous avons dépensé pour cet établissement une somme importante, qui ne s'élève pas à moins de 9 millions, et qui devrait certainement être portée à un chiffre plus élevé, si l'on y faisait entrer les dépenses que nous avons à faire pour les navires en station. Chaque année une somme de 800,000 francs est inscrite au budget sous la rubrique Service du Tonkin. Eh bien, messieurs, à l'heure qu'il est, notre situation au Tonkin est précaire, embarrassée, sinon menacée.\n\nM. Jules Delafosse. Je l'ai dit.\n\nM. le ministre. Je vais essayer de vous démontrer que le projet qui vous est apporté est nécessaire et qu'il est suffisant pour mettre un terme à cette situation, pour substituer à un état de choses indécis, coûteux, stérile, une situation qui aura le mérite d'être précise et parfaitement définie.\n\nIl a été si souvent question dans cette Chambre de notre établissement au Tonkin, on en a si souvent raconté l'histoire, - M. Georges Perin lui-même en a rappelé tout à l'heure un des premiers et des plus glorieux épisodes, que je n'ai pas à y revenir. J'écarterai donc complètement le souvenir, d'ailleurs inutile dans cette discussion, des incidents pittoresques ou tragiques qui en ont marqué les différentes phases. Je m'arrête au traité de 1874.\n\nCe traité, c'est la base de notre action, c'est notre point de départ nécessaire. Malgré les lacunes qu'on a pu y signaler, malgré les clauses restrictives, gênantes, qu'il contient, ce traité impliquait cependant, pour la première fois, la reconnaissance formelle de nos possessions de la Cochinchine, il nous fournissait les moyens de purger le Tonkin de la piraterie et du brigandage, d'y ouvrir d'un champ plus ou moins fécond, mais à coup sûr très vaste et presque illimité.\n\nEn 1874, si j'ai bonne mémoire, M. Georges Perin n'était pas très éloigné de reconnaître qu'il était déjà difficile à la France de se retirer du Tonkin. Il y a deux ans, il vous demandait de dénoncer le traité de 1874, et il renouvelle aujourd'hui l'expression de cette opinion.\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères. Il serait impossible, messieurs, de ne pas rendre pleine justice à la persévérance que M. Georges Perin a montrée dans son opposition.\n\nDu reste, il ne faudrait pas exagérer la salubrité du Tonkin. Lisez, comme je l'ai fait moi-même, les rapports de gens qui n'ont aucun intérêt à présenter le Tonkin comme un pays insalubre, puisqu'à une certaine époque ils y ont poussé les Français. Les rapports des missionnaires disent que, si le Tonkin est moins insalubre que la Cochinchine, il n'est pas d'une salubrité complète; ils parlent d'une fièvre très redoutable qui règne dans les parties montagneuses.\n\nVous trouverez dans les documents officiels dont je vous parlais tout à l'heure un compte rendu de M. le docteur Mage qui a exploré les provinces Nord du Tonkin, Il y est dit que, si le Nord est relativement salubre, les Européens devront se défier des provinces du Sud, dont la climatologie rappelle dans une certaine mesure celle de l'Hué, de funèbre mémoire.\n\nVous voyez donc que cette expédition peut présenter certains dangers. Eh bien, je crois que vous devez hésiter, et c'est ici que j'arrive à dire à la Chambre qu'elle peut et doit éviter de faire cette expédition.\n\nNous ne sommes pas dans des conditions aussi difficiles. Nous sommes vainqueurs, nous n'éprouvons aucune résistance; nous nous trouvons en face d'un traité que nous pouvons dénoncer comme cela s'est fait en...\n\nJe voudrais que la prospérité coloniale de mon pays se créât et se développât dans des conditions déterminées. On peut dire à l'Angleterre: « Le traité de 1874 que vous avez violé, nous ne voulons pas le considérer plus longtemps. Nous avons subi des dommages, comme vous nous avez mis dans une situation difficile, entraînés à des dépenses, nous voulons une compensation. » Vous pouvez demander alors une indemnité de guerre considérable, et affirmer que vous parlez, non pas en nation humiliée et vaincue, mais en nation victorieuse, en restant au Tonkin, mais dans des conditions qui n'engagent pas l'avenir.\n\nVous avez à Haï-Phong une situation excellente; le jour où le Tonkin sera ouvert par la force même des choses, et sous la pression de toutes les nations européennes, comme l'a été la partie de certains fleuves de la Chine, vous aurez là une situation prépondérante. Maîtres du delta, vous pourrez y appeler vos nationaux et leur dire: « Voilà le fleuve Rouge ouvert sans qu'on ait employé les armes, et par la seule...\n\nCe traité, malgré tous ses défauts, nous constituait une situation privilégiée, et nous aurions pu certainement nous y tenir jusqu'au moment où le roi d'Annam, convaincu des avantages qu'il y avait pour lui-même, en aurait spontanément élargi les dispositions.\n\nMais il aurait fallu pour cela que ce traité, interprété avec bonne foi, et appliqué fidèlement, fût souscrit par lui en connaissance de cause. Or, vous savez que c'est le contraire qui est arrivé.\n\nM. Georges Perin... C'est l'expression même de la mauvaise foi du gouvernement d'Annam.\n\nLes Chambres actuelles, et avant elles l'Assemblée nationale, ont, depuis 1874, manifesté d'une manière constante leurs dispositions à l'égard du Tonkin; et, pour ne citer que deux traits, mais qui suffisent pour caractériser la conduite qu'il a tenue, mais qui suffisent pour caractériser la conduite qu'a tenue le gouvernement d'Annam.\n\nM. Georges Perin m'a invité, et c'est la tâche à laquelle je vais m'appliquer, à définir, si je le puis exactement et en toute sincérité, le sens et la portée du projet de loi qui vous est soumis. Je répondrai chemin faisant, aux questions, observations, les unes déjà anciennes, qui ont été apportées à cette tribune, soit par M. Georges Perin, soit par M. Delafosse.\n\nM. le président du conseil. Cela ne se ressemble pas !\n\nM. Georges Perin....'ils avaient vu au...\n\nJe crois que la France ne doit pas être une puissance exclusivement continentale, qu'elle doit être une puissance coloniale; mais cette puissance coloniale doit se développer d'une façon différente.\n\nQuant à moi, j'entends différemment la colonisation. M. Georges Perin, L'Angleterre, monsieur le président du conseil, a cru devoir conclure un traité de paix à la suite d'échecs...\n\nM. le président. La parole est à M. le ministre des affaires étrangères.\n\nM. le ministre des affaires étrangères. Je vous ai montré, messieurs, qu'au point où nous en sommes, il est peut-être un euphémisme. Je vous dirai que la dernière de ces décisions, le rappel que la dernière de ces décisions, le rappel que... pour caractériser la conduite qu'il a tenue.",

        "content_text": "4 \n\nbe subsequently explained) this difficulty was met in another way by providing that, before the convention drawn up by the conference is ratified, the non-participating Powers of Europe and America should be invited to give their signatures to it, and thus place themselves on the same footing as the original signatory Powers.\n\n16 \n\n12. Definitions of the terms raw, prepared,\" and \"medicinal\" opium, which had been submitted by the Programme Committee, after a report by the Technical Committee, were then accepted. These definitions were those which now find place at the head of chapters 1, 2, and 3 of the convention; but there was a further paragraph in the definition of raw opium which extended its application to what is known commercially as powdered and granulated opium. This latter paragraph, as submitted by the Programme Committee, departed from the terms drawn up by the Technical Committee, and, inasmuch as in this altered form it appeared to include under \"raw opium\" what were in effect medicinal or officinal substances, this paragraph was subsequently struck out, leaving the definition of raw opium as it now stands. The result is that, as indicated in our telegram to you of the 8th January, 1912, powdered or granulated opium would only be \"raw opium\" if it did not fall under one of the other definitions, i.e., in so far as it was merely the raw product of the poppy simply powdered or granulated. To render this point quite clear, and in accordance with instructions received from you, we made a specific declaration to this effect (which is reproduced in our despatch No. 13 of the 20th January) at the twenty-first session (17th January). After some discussion it was then decided to ask the Technical Committee to report whether any further alteration of the definition of raw opium was desirable. The committee held that the declaration made on behalf of the British delegation might be deemed sufficient, or else that some maximum percentage of morphine would have to be introduced; the former alternative was endorsed by the conference as a whole at the twenty-third session.\n\nIt may be added that, apart from this particular point, the definitions as they now stand follow the broad lines between opium eaten and opium smoked, which have always been adopted in India. Opium which is eaten is \"raw\" opium, while smoking preparations are \"prepared\" opium.\n\n13. At the third session approval was also given to the heads of discussion which the Programme Committee had thought suitable in respect to raw and prepared opium; and a resolution that the participating Governments ought to enact effective laws and regulations for the control of the production and distribution of raw opium was proposed by the British delegation.\n\n14. At the fourth session (8th December) the consideration of this resolution was continued, and included some discussion on the information which had been communicated by Sir William Meyer in the first of his reports above mentioned (Appendix I), including the statement on behalf of the Indian Government that their restrictions on the consumption of raw opium could not be pushed to the extent of forbidding its use save for strictly medical purposes.\n\nFinally the resolution was carried unanimously, and forms the basis of article 1 of the present convention, the concluding proviso, \"à moins que des lois ou des règlements existants n'aient déjà réglé la matière,\" having been added here as in some other articles.\n\n15. The British delegation then presented a resolution to the effect that each participating Government should strictly limit the number of places through which raw opium may be exported or imported. The German delegation opposed this proposal on the ground that while it might be suitable for countries with a limited number of seaports, and where opium was received or sent out in bulk, it could not be applied to Germany, with its extended land frontiers and its network of railways, where, moreover, opium was often sent in small quantities in the same package with other chemicals. On a division the resolution was carried, the only actively opposing vote being that of Germany. We felt, however, that, in view of the difficulties we should probably have with the Germans when we came to the discussion of morphia and cocaine, it would be inadvisable to place them in an attitude of open opposition to us at the outset of the conference, and we accordingly entered into private negotiations with the German delegation as to an amendment of the resolution which it might propose and the conference accept. We came to a satisfactory agreement on this point, and were consequently able, at the fifth session (11th December) to accept the German amendment, which made the resolution run thus: \"That every Government participating in the conference shall limit, as far as is consistent with its own trade conditions, the number of places through which the exportation or importation of raw opium shall be allowed.\"\n\nThe resolution as thus amended was carried unanimously, and forms the basis of article 2 of the convention.\n\n5 \n\n273 \n\n16. At this (fifth) session the British delegation moved a resolution to the effect that the participating Governments should adopt measures—\n\n(1.) To prevent the export of raw opium to countries that had prohibited its entry; and\n\n(2.) Similarly to control the export of raw opium to countries which restricted its import.\n\nThe Portuguese delegation proposed the insertion of the words \"by special agreement or otherwise\" after the words \"adopt measures,\" appealing to the precedent afforded by the negotiations between Great Britain and China on the subject of Indian opium. Their object was throughout to prevent material loss to the trade of their colony, Macao. The Chinese delegation demurred to this amendment on the ground that the circumstances in regard to Indian opium were special, and that there was no reason why a similar procedure should be followed with reference to other Powers whose territories did not produce opium on a large scale.\n\nAs Mr. Max Müller pointed out in the course of the debate, the real point at issue was the observance by Portugal, along with the other treaty Powers, of the Anglo-Chinese agreement of the 8th May, 1911, for in that case the Portuguese could only deal with Indian opium \"certificated\" for export to China, and from the Chinese point of view it did not matter through what precise channel such opium came into China. We, therefore, accepted the Portuguese amendment, which we considered to be also of practical utility as making it clear that China could not use the article arising from the resolution in question as a pretext for denunciation of existing treaties. Thus amended, the resolution was carried, though China, the United States, and Persia reserved their votes.\n\nThe Chinese suspected throughout, and we think with ample grounds, that the Portuguese desired to use Macao as a dumping ground for contraband opium, and to maintain smoking establishments there.\n\n17. Later (at the twenty-first and twenty-second sessions), on the second reading of article 3 of the convention, which reproduced the terms of the resolution, the Chinese moved the omission of the words \"by special agreement or otherwise\" (par convention spéciale ou autrement), and in view of the emphatic declaration they then made that, so amended, the article would not be used to affect existing treaties, we supported their amendment, which was carried, with a dissent by Portugal, subsequently withdrawn at the twenty-fourth session.\n\n18. The Persian delegate, however, moved (also at the twenty-second session) to re-insert these words in clause (a) of article 3 (they had previously appeared in the preamble), but the proposal was rejected, the Portuguese delegation being the only one to support it, and in signing the convention the Persian delegate made a reservation in regard to this clause.\n\nHe suggested at the twenty-fourth session that this reservation might be avoided if, after the word \"empêcher\" in clause (a) of article 3, the conference would insert the words \"aussitôt que possible\"; but an amendment he brought forward to this effect was defeated.\n\n19. To revert to the fifth session, the Netherlands delegation then proposed the enactment of a special convention which would have made wholesale dealings in opium a Government monopoly in the countries taking part in the conference, producing countries exporting only to the Governments of the States which adhered to this convention. The object was, as M. Cremer explained, to afford an additional check against contraband trade. This project, the text of which, with an explanatory memorandum, will be found in the minutes of the eighth session, was criticised by the German delegation as going beyond the limits of the original programme for the conference as set forth by the United States Government, and later on (at the eighth session) it was withdrawn on the ground that the State monopoly system advocated would not find general favour.\n\n20. The British delegation then proposed a resolution to the effect that each participating Government should notify all consignments of raw opium to such other participating Governments as might desire the information, but after some criticism this was withdrawn as impossible of general application.\n\n21. The next resolution we moved was that every package containing raw opium intended for export should be so marked as to indicate its contents, and this was accepted with a German amendment that it should only apply to packages exceeding 5 kilogrammes in weight, the Germans explaining that they could not so deal with smaller packages.\n\n[373]\n\nC\n\nuly",

        "content_text": "5\n\n329\n\n4\n\nbe subsequently explained) this difficulty was met in another way by providing that, before the convention drawn up by the conference is ratified, the non-participating Powers of Europe and America should be invited to give their signatures to it, and thus place themselves on the same footing\n\n12. Definitions of the terms \"raw,\"\n\nas the original signatory Powers. had been submitted by the Programme Committee, after a report by the Technical Committee, were then accepted. These definitions were those which now find place at the head of chapters 1, 2, and 3 of the convention; but there was a further paragraph in the definition of raw opium which extended its application to what is known commercially as powdered and granulated opium. This latter paragraph, as submitted by the Programme Committee, departed from the terms drawn up by the Technical Committee, and, inasmuch as in this altered form it appeared to include under “raw opium\" what were in effect medicinal or officinal substances, this paragraph was subsequently struck out, leaving the definition of raw opium as it now stands. The result is that, as indicated in our telegram to you of the 8th January, 1912, powdered or granulated opium would only be \"raw opium\" if it did not fall under one of the other definitions, i.e., in so far as it was merely the raw product of the poppy simply powdered or granulated. To render this point quite clear, and in accordance with instructions received from you, we made a specific declaration to this effect (which is reproduced in our despatch No. 13 of the 20th January) at the twenty-first session (17th January). After some discussion it was then decided to ask the Technical Committee to report whether any further alteration of the definition of raw opium was desirable. The committee held that the declaration made on behalf of the British delegation might be deemed sufficient, or else that some maximum percentage of morphine would have to be introduced; the former alternative was endorsed by the conference as a whole at the twenty-third session.\n\nThe\n\nIt may be added that, apart from this particular point, the definitions as they now stand follow the broad lines between opium eaten and opium smoked, which has always been adopted in India. Opium which is eaten is \"raw\" opium, while smoking preparations are \"prepared\" opium.\n\n13. At the third session approval was also given to the heads of discussion which the Programme Committee had thought suitable in respect to raw and prepared opium; and a resolution that the participating Governments ought to enact effective laws and regulations for the control of the production and distribution of raw opium was proposed by the British delegation.\n\n14. At the fourth session (8th December) the consideration of this resolution was continued, and included some discussion on the information which had been communicated by Sir William Meyer in the first of his reports above mentioned (Appendix I), including the statement on behalf of the Indian Government that their restrictions on the consumption of raw opium could not be pushed to the extent of forbidding its use save for strictly medical purposes.\n\nFinally the resolution was carried unanimously, and forms the basis of article I of the present convention, the concluding proviso, à moins que des lois ou des règlements existants n'aient déjà réglé la matière, having been added here as in some other articles.\n\n15. The British delegation then presented a resolution to the effect that each participating Government should strictly limit the number of places through which raw opium may be exported or imported. The German delegation opposed this proposal on the ground that while it might be suitable for countries with a limited number of seaports, and where opium was received or sent out in bulk, it could not be applied to Germany, with its extended land frontiers and its network of railways, where, moreover, opium was often sent in small quantities in the same package with other chemicals. On a division the resolution was carried, the only actively opposing vote being that of Germany. We felt, however, that, in view of the difficulties we should probably have with the Germans when we came to the discussion of morphine and cocaine, it would be inadvisable to place them in an attitude of open opposition to us at the outset of the conference, and we accordingly entered into private negotiations with the German delegation as to an amendment of the resolution which it might propose and the conference accept. We came to a satisfactory agreement on this point, and were consequently able, at the fifth session (11th December) to accept the German amendment, which made the resolution run thus: \"That every Government participating in the conference shall limit, as far as is consistent with its own trade conditions, the number of places through which the exportation or importation of raw opium shall be allowed.\" The resolution as thus amended was carried unanimously, and forms the basis of article 2 of the convention.\n\n16. At this (fifth) session the British delegation moved a resolution to the effect that the participating Governments should adopt measures—\n\n(1.) To prevent the export of raw opium to countries that had prohibited its entry; and\n\n(2.) Similarly to control the export of raw opium to countries which restricted its import.\n\nThe Portuguese delegation proposed the insertion of the words \"by special agreement or otherwise\" after the words \"adopt measures,\" appealing to the precedent afforded by the negotiations between Great Britain and China on the subject of Indian opium. Their object was throughout to prevent material loss to the trade of their colony, Macao. The Chinese delegation demurred to this amendment on the ground that the circumstances in regard to Indian opium were special, and that there was no reason why a similar procedure should be followed with reference to other Powers whose territories did not produce opium on a large scale.\n\nAs Mr. Max Müller pointed out in the course of the debate, the real point at issue was the observance by Portugal, along with the other treaty Powers, of the Anglo-Chinese agreement of the 8th May, 1911, for in that case the Portuguese could only deal with Indian opium \"certificated\" for export to China, and from the Chinese point of view it did not matter through what precise channel such opium came into China. We, therefore, accepted the Portuguese amendment, which we considered to be also of practical utility as making it clear that China could not use the article arising from the resolution in question as a pretext for denunciation of existing treaties. Thus amended, the resolution was carried, though China, the United States, and Persia reserved their votes.\n\nThe Chinese suspected throughout, and we think with ample grounds, that the Portuguese desired to use Macao as a dumping ground for contraband opium, and to maintain smoking establishments there.\n\n17. Later (at the twenty-first and twenty-second sessions), on the second reading of article 8 of the convention, which reproduced the terms of the resolution, the Chinese moved the omission of the words \"by special agreement or otherwise\" (par convention spéciale ou autrement), and in view of the emphatic declaration they then made that, so amended, the article would not be used to affect existing treaties, we supported their amendment, which was carried, with a dissent by Portugal, subsequently withdrawn at the twenty-fourth session.\n\n18. The Persian delegate, however, moved (also at the twenty-second session) to re-insert these words in clause (a) of article 3 (they had previously appeared in the preamble), but the proposal was rejected, the Portuguese delegation being the only one to support it, and in signing the convention the Persian delegate made a reservation in regard to this clause.\n\nHe suggested at the twenty-fourth session that this reservation might be avoided if, after the word empêcher in clause (a) of article 3, the conference would insert the words aussitôt que possible; but an amendment he brought forward to this effect was defeated.\n\n19. To revert to the fifth session, the Netherlands delegation then proposed the enactment of a special convention which would have made wholesale dealings in opium a Government monopoly in the countries taking part in the conference, producing countries exporting only to the Governments of the States which adhered to this convention. The object was, as M. Cremer explained, to afford an additional check against contraband trade. This project, the text of which, with an explanatory memorandum, will be found in the minutes of the eighth session, was criticised by the German delegation as going beyond the limits of the original programme for the conference as set forth by the United States Government, and later on (at the eighth session) it was withdrawn on the ground that the State monopoly system advocated would not find general favour.\n\n20. The British delegation then proposed a resolution to the effect that each participating Government should notify all consignments of raw opium to such other participating Governments as might desire the information, but after some criticism this was withdrawn as impossible of general application.\n\n21. The next resolution we moved was that every package containing raw opium intended for export should be so marked as to indicate its contents, and this was accepted with a German amendment that it should only apply to packages exceeding 5 kilos in weight, the Germans explaining that they could not so deal with smaller",
