HOPE, Esq. \n\nLondon, November 7, 1843. \n\nSir, \n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 4th instant, addressed to Neill Malcolm, Esq., enclosing a Licence for that gentleman to convey 400 labourers from the Straits of Malacca to Jamaica. \n\nIn connexion with this subject, I take the liberty of calling your attention to clauses 13 and 18 of the Bounty Rules issued by Her Majesty's Land and Emigration Commissioners on the 27th ultimo. \n\nDoubtless it was not so designed, but, in practical effect, I believe those rules will be found to prevent the capitalist giving that aid to the labourer to emigrate which, under other circumstances, he may be disposed to afford. \n\nThe bounty granted of 65 dollars will not, I beg to submit, be found sufficient to defray all the expenses of deportinga labourer from the East to the West, including the providing him warm clothing for the passage round the Cape of Good Hope. \n\nExperience teaches that, as in the case of those who go to the Mauritius, the Chinese are willing to pay a portion of their outfit, if they can obtain the necessary funds upon loan. \n\nI would beg, therefore, to suggest for your consideration the propriety of amend- ing the Bounty Rules so that the present course of law may not be contravened; but that, if A advances B money in Sincapore, he may recover it in Jamaica in the usual manner. \n\nI have, &c. \n\n(Signed) R. F. DAVIS. \n\nG. W. Hope, Esq., \n\n&c. &c. \n\nSir, \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS TO THE WEST INDIES. \n\nNo. 29. \n\nCOPY of a LETTER from G. W. HOPE, Esq. to R. F. Davis, Esq. \n\nDowning-street, November 30, 1843. \n\nI AM directed by Lord Stanley to acquaint you, in reply to your letter of the 7th instant, that, upon a full consideration of the matter, his Lordship sees no reason for increasing the present rate of bounty upon Chinese labourers introduced into the West Indies, namely, 65 dollars for every adult, male or female. \n\nWith respect to the terms upon which contracts may be entered into with the Chinese, I am to acquaint you that the Land and Enigration Commissioners have, with Lord Stanley's sanction, published a notice, making certain modifica- tions in the regulations which had been previously adopted. \n\nR. F. Davis, Esq., &c. &c, \n\nI have, &c. \n\n(Signed) \n\nNo. 30. \n\nG. W. HOPE, \n\nCory of a LETTER from the COLONIAL LAND AND EMIGRATION COMMIS- SIONERS to JAMES STEPHEN, Esq. \n\nSir, \n\nColonial Land and Emigration Office, November 24, 1843. \n\nWE have the honour to acknowledge your letter of the 20th instant, ac- companied by one from Mr. Davis, dated the 7th of November, representing that the bounty of 65 dollars will not suffice to pay for the importation of a Chinese labourer into the West Indies, including a provision of warm clothing for his pas- sage, and requesting that no objection may be offered to rendering advances of money in China repayable after arrival. \n\nAs this subject has been so repeatedly urged by Mr. Davis personally as well as in this letter, we must begin by submitting that we cannot fairly be held answer- able for the bounties actually proving to cover all expenses. In the present, as in all other speculations, there must be uncertainty and some risk; many contin- gencies have to be considered, and the hazard of the business must be weighed by the same parties who look to the advantage. All we can undertake is to state correctly the effect of existing data. If indeed we were at liberty to make a mere conjecture, we might very probably wish to guess rather a higher than a lower sum than 65 dollars; but when the question was referred to us officially, we con- sidered we were bound to proceed upon some evidence. \n\nNow the proposed rate of bounty was known to Mr. Davis himself, as well as several other gentlemen interested in the question, some weeks before it was finally announced. All seemed to agree in its propriety beforehand, and none have com- plained of it since except Mr. Davis. He has taken exception to it on the ground that some of the provisions of the Rules were not foreseen. \n\nWe must, however, explain that Mr. Davis fell into a mistake in supposing that gratuities or other local disbursements had been left out of account in the estimates, and that this was a clear additional charge by the effect of the Bounty Rules. On the contrary, by the very estimate tendered on behalf of the West India body, 65 dollars would cover all charges, including the maximum gratuity of 15 dollars. By an estimate which we made on distinct grounds, the same result was arrived at. And such being the calculations beforehand, it next followed that when the offer was thrown into the market, several parties at once sent out to obtain labourers at this rate of bounty. It is difficult perhaps to conceive a more complete body of evidence that the amount was not ill considered, and that, as far as private persons' present information goes, they consider it one on which it is prudent to act. \n\nBut Mr. Davis further argued that the Bounty Rules introduced a novelty, by requiring a surgeon. We have pointed out to him that, under the Passengers Act, he could not have taken so many as 50 emigrants without a surgeon; and it cer- tainly could not be seriously contended that persons contemplated the carriage of Chinese in petty numbers falling below that limit. Agaiu, Mr. Davis alludes to the provision of warm clothing; but it has been distinctly explained by the autho- rities that the shippers are not to be necessarily required to furnish this article; and, from what is stated of the customs of the Chinese, it seems very probable that they will have a sufficient stock of their own.

It is possible however that this may check or stop the trade as it is the only mode by which a profit is derived from bringing in the Chinese.\n\n7.78 23 May \n\n## INMIGRACIÓN ASIÁTICA AL PERÚ.\n\n384 \n\nA fin de que no se alegue ignorancia de las disposiciones del Gobierno del Perú, sobre la introducción á la República de Colonos Asiáticos, se reimprimen los siguientes documentos:— \n\n### No. 1.-El Libertador RAMÓN CASTILLA, Presidente del Perú, &c., &c..\n\nConsiderando : \n\n1o. Que la introducción de colonos asiáticos, á más de no convenir al país por ser una raza degradada, va degenerando en una especie de trato de negros, que no puede continuar sin ultraje de la humanidad, ni violación de los principios de libertad é igualdad proclamados por el Gobierno. \n\n2o. Que las contratas celebradas son refractarias del art. 1635 del Código Civil, puesto que sin invertirse en provecho de los colonos, sino de la empresa, la crecida cantidad que el patrón desembolsa, se comprometen á prestar sus servicios por largo y determinado tiempo en favor de patrones con quienes no contratan y cuya servidumbre les es vedado variar; \n\n3o. Que el excesivo número de hombres embarcados en buques menores, y la escasez y mala calidad de alimentos han ocasionado la muerte por lo menos de una tercera parte de los colonos; y la llegada al puerto de los restantes con peligrosas enfermedades; \n\n4o. Que algunas veces el rigor empleado en los buques, como un medio consiguiente al engaño y á la violencia con que se hacen estas criminales especulaciones, ha ocasionado repetidas catástrofes que es necesario evitar; \n\n5o. Que el Gobierno no debe autorizar un abuso tan repugnante como ofensivo á la moral y al derecho, de que solo reportan utilidad los empresarios del tráfico. \n\nSe resuelve \n\nArt. 1o.-A los cuatro meses de la fecha, queda prohibida la introducción de colonos asiáticos por medio de contratas y en el modo cruel y violento con que se ha hecho hasta hoy. \n\n2o.-Los Capitanes y contramaestres de buques que traigan chinos, acreditarán en los puertos de la República haberlos admitido abordo por su espontánea voluntad, y en el caso de que resulten arrancados por fuerza ó engaño y trasladados en número para el que no sea capaz el buque, serán sometidos a juicio por este delito y pagarán los daños y perjuicios que causaren. \n\n3o.-Los asiáticos que en adelante ingresaren al territorio de la República podrán ejercer libremente su industria ó tomar servicio con algún patrón conforme á las leyes vigentes; y se cumplirán únicamente las escrituras de compromiso celebradas en favor de personas determinadas, siendo ellos responsables tan solo por las anticipaciones de salario que por sí mismos hayan recibido. \n\nComuníquese y publíquese.-Lima, á 5 de Marzo de 1856-Rúbrica de S.E.-MAR. \n\n(Peruano, No. 16, Tomo 30.) \n\n### No. 2.-EXMO. SOR.- \n\nParcemón de Echandia, vecino de esta ciudad, ante V.E. respetuosamente me presento y digo: que me es de absoluta necesidad saber si, por lo resuelto en el Supremo Decreto de 5 de Marzo de 1856, no puede uno ser apoderado de otros, suponiendo que tenga la capacidad legal, para ir á China y contratar á nombre de estos los sirvientes que necesiten; y en consecuencia, traerlos al Perú, guardando en cuanto á la conducción el inciso 2o. y considerando 3o. del citado decreto; no quedando obligados los domésticos que voluntariamente se contrataren sino á prestar los servicios necesarios para pagar con ellos los adelantos que hubieren recibido, contándose en estos el pasaje, alimentación y vestido. \n\nHe creído oportuno ocurrir á V.E. antes de aceptar un encargo cuyo desempeño pudiera maliciosamente traducirse como una infracción del consultado decreto: no obstante, que no tengo noticia de que haya prohibición que racionalmente pueda impedir el desempeñar una comisión que no envuelve mira comercial alguna, sino únicamente la de conseguir con la comodidad y seguridad apetecibles, los domésticos que mis poderdantes necesitan; quedando los colonos, como antes he dicho, en amplia libertad para mudar de patrón, tan luego como hubiesen recibido los adelantos recibidos. \n\nEn consecuencia-A.V.E. pido se sirva resolver si es libre cualquier ciudadano para ir á China y contratar, á nombre de sus poderdantes domésticos que voluntariamente quieran constituirse en esta condición, y traerlos al Perú, guardando en su conducción el inciso 2o. y considerando 3o. del Supremo Decreto de 5 de Marzo de 1856. \n\nLima, á 15 de Setiembre de 1853. \n\nPARCEMÓN DE ECHANDIA. \n\nVista al Sr. FISCAL de la Corte Superior de Justicia.-MAR. \n\nEXMO. SOR.-El Fiscal dice: que declarar V.E. que un apoderado puede ir á la China á contratar colonos para sus poderdantes, sería proceder contra lo expresamente dispuesto en la parte resolutiva y considerativa del Supremo Decreto de 5 de Marzo del presente año; que los colonos vengan siquiera, y que desembarcados adopten la industria que les plazca, es el espíritu y la letra del decreto; pero que el apoderado los contrate en China para patrón que no conocen, es quitarles la libertad de que habla el Art. 2o. del decreto; es autorizar el desorden y los males que quiso evitar dicho decreto y es querer, en fin, que V.E. sea contradictorio en sus mejores disposiciones. \n\nEl Fiscal es pues de opinión, que V.E. declare sin lugar esta solicitud; teniendo entendido, que en el Perú, según el decreto citado, no se permite la introducción de chinos de otro modo, que como pueden ingresar á sus puertos cualesquiera otros extranjeros de libre y espontánea voluntad, y solamente con contratos directos ó personales. Sin embargo, V.E. resolverá lo que estime más conveniente. \n\nLima, Octubre 3 de 1856.—VILLARÁN. \n\nLima, á 13 de Octubre de 1856. \n\nPor las razones que expone el Fiscal de la Corte Superior; y estando terminantemente prohibida, por el Art. 1o. del Decreto de 5 de Marzo último, la introducción de colonos asiáticos por medio de contratas; se declara, que solo podrán ingresar en la República los asiáticos que vengan por su espontánea voluntad. Publíquese-Rúbrica de S.E-MAR \n\n(Peruano, No. 26 Tomo 31.) \n\nMas, como las anteriores órdenes no pueden hacerse extensivas á las expediciones iniciadas en el Perú ó en China, antes de expedirse en la República ó de promulgarse el tiempo bastante para que se tenga de ellas conocimiento en esta costa, S.E. el Presidente del Perú, con fecha 7 de Noviembre de 1856, dispuso, que las expediciones ya en vía pudiesen llevarse á cabo sujetándose á las formalidades decretadas anteriormente en la materia; rebajando á solo doce reales ($1.30 cent.) los derechos del Cónsul en China por la certificación duplicada de cada contrata: y quedando, de otro modo, aquellas en el caso de las anteriores resoluciones; esto es, en plena libertad los emigrantes á su ingreso al Perú. \n\nHongkong, Enero 30 de 1857. \n\nNICANOR TEJERINA, Cónsul del Perú en China. \n\n### No. 3.-Lima, á 5 de Marzo de 1858-Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, &c.-Circular á los Cónsules de la República en China.- \n\nS.E. el Presidente, atendiendo á que los intereses generales de la humanidad y los del comercio peruano exigen, que mientras termina el privilegio concedido para la importación de Colonos Chinos, se adopten todas las precauciones posibles para evitar que se presenten en los buques con bandera nacional los casos de rebelión y de asesinatos que se ha visto en algunas expediciones, ha resuelto que los Cónsules en los puertos de donde salgan las expediciones, autoricen precisamente las contratas que se hagan con dichos colonos; negando su firma cuando estos fueren conocidamente viciosos é enfermos; y examinen también, que los buques se hallen bien provistos, pertrechados y ventilados: y que no se embarquen más colonos que los que puedan transportar sin riesgo en tan larga navegación. Lo comunico á Vd. para su puntual cumplimiento. Dios guarde á V.-JOSE MANUEL TIRADO. \n\nES Copia-Hongkong, Enero 30, 1857. \n\nNICANOR TEJERINA.",

Here's a step-by-step breakdown of the corrections made:\n\n1. **Rejoining broken sentences**: The original text had a sentence broken across lines. The corrected text rejoins the sentence: \"I have the honour to ack. the receipt of your desp. 20th inst., in which you repeat that you have reduced the allowance for the latter part of his service of Mr. E. Dougherty from $150 to $135 per month.\"\n\n2. **Correcting spelling errors**: The original text contained several spelling errors, such as \"havan\" -> \"honour\", \"Haupt\" -> \"receipt\", \"dop.\" -> \"desp.\", \"Sür\" (likely incorrect OCR of a name or word), \"Yuths\" (possibly a date or name), \"Coa.\" -> potentially \"Coad\" or another name starting with \"Co\", and \"hor:\" (unclear, possibly \"honour\" or a date). Some of these corrections are straightforward, while others require context.\n\n3. **Fixing spacing issues**: Extra spaces were removed, and missing spaces were added to improve readability.\n\n4. **Restoring paragraph breaks**: The original text was formatted into proper paragraphs.\n\n5. **Indicating missing words**: No clear missing words were identified in the provided snippet, so no `...` was inserted.\n\n6. **Markdown formatting**: Although the final output is in HTML as per the instructions, the initial processing was considered in Markdown format for structure.\n\n7. **File references and page numbering**: No file references were present in the snippet. Page numbering (\"Page 21\") was preserved as it appeared exactly as scanned, delineating page metadata.\n\n8. **Reordering text**: The provided snippet did not contain enough context to necessitate large-scale reordering as might be required for newspaper texts.\n\n9. **Chinese writing direction and data in tables**: The snippet did not contain Chinese text or tables that required reorganization.\n\nThe output is formatted in HTML using `` for paragraphs.",

        "content_text": "old smoking utensils, 5,000 of which were publicly burned. Anti-opium pills are distributed gratis. A thriving trade is done by selling opium in the form of anti-opium pills, so that the people can change smoking for eating opium, which is cheaper and more convenient. It is stated on very reliable authority that it is far more difficult to cure opium or morphia eating than smoking or injection. The Anti-Opium Society is adopting similar measures in the country districts.\n\nThe Provincial Treasurer has been suspended on account of his opium tendencies. At Chuchow, in the south of the province, the local officials have either given up the habit or are endeavouring to do so, and one is said to have died in the attempt. The dens are all closed, and the trade of the opium shops is reduced to one-sixth of what it was last year.\n\nAt Yenchow, in the east of the province, all the dens are closed, and anti-opium medicines are distributed gratis under the auspices of the leading officials and gentry.\n\nNingpo. Activity in the movement has been delayed owing to the circumstance that the revenue is chiefly derived from opium, and cannot be dispensed with until a new source is found.\n\nBoth the Prefect and the Magistrate are said to have given up the habit, while two-thirds of the population are in favour of the Decree.\n\nApparently there is no decrease in the poppy-growing area.\n\nAll the dens in the city and in the Settlement are closed.\n\nKiangsi Province.—Production, 690 piculs. Generally throughout the province the dens have been closed and without any trouble, though shops selling raw opium are still open. The people are in sympathy with the Decree. But little opium is grown in the province. In the north-eastern portion only two-thirds of the old poppy ground has been taken up for the same purpose; but this is said to be due, not to the Decree, but to the high price obtainable for rice and flour. In any case it is not possible to form a reliable opinion till the winter crop appears.\n\nAt Yaochow the head of police, \"said to be the only opium-smoking official in the city, has been suspended for six months pending his cure.\n\nFukhien Province.—Production, 2,000 piculs—probably under-estimated.\n\nIn Foochow a native Anti-Opium League has been started, and, owing to the energy exercised, some 500 dens have been closed.\n\nThe high officials are said to have given up smoking. Three large and successful refuges have been opened in the city, and the treatment is gratis.\n\nIn the surrounding district all the dens are closed, and a very heavy fee is imposed for licences to opium shops. Four refuges have been opened and financed by the gentry, also many private ones. Admission is 2s. a-day for food and treatment, and free for the poor.\n\nEach building holds about twenty.\n\nAt Hsing-hua all the dens are closed, six proprietors having been cangued for refusing. A meeting has been held by the officials and gentry, when it was decided to open refuges.\n\nAmoy.—For some time no active measures were taken, but as soon as the Foochow Taotai sent officials to inquire why nothing had been done the local Taotai hastily issued a Proclamation on the 10th of July, and closed all the dens by the 19th, which shows what can be done in China when the officials are in earnest. Opium can still be purchased in retail shops, but may not be consumed in public places.\n\nThe poppy area is small, and some 50 miles north of Amoy has been reduced, owing, it is said, to the attitude of the Government.\n\nThe more important officials are endeavouring to give up the habit, also some of the literati.\n\nKuangtung Province.—Production, 500 piculs.\n\nKiungchow (Hainan Island).—Official control over the people is here purely nominal. Some 300 persons have registered themselves as smokers, and one or two dens have been closed.\n\nCanton. There is considerable activity among the Anti-Opium Societies and students in the way of propaganda, and well-attended meetings have been held, while smoking is no longer the fashionable vice. It has been decided that all officials are to cease smoking; all divans are to be registered, and the lawless ones closed. All smoking is to cease in hotels, restaurants, and brothels.\n\nIn June there was evidence of a desire to start opium farms in the provinces of Kuangtung and Kuangsi on the lines of that in Hong Kong, but the immense practical difficulties to be encountered prevented the idea from being carried out.\n\nIn September the authorities introduced a new licence fee, which, from the manner of its incidence, was in opposition to Treaties. It was withdrawn on the protest of His Majesty's Consul-General. Similar attempts were made in 1902 and 1903, but failed. It is reported in the newspapers that a non-commissioned officer, together with several others was executed by order of the Viceroy for assembling to smoke opium.\n\nSwatow—Little attention is paid to the Edict beyond a prohibition to smoke in public places. Purchasers may buy as much opium as they require, but must smoke at home. There are no licences.\n\nIn the neighbourhood of Swatow the dens are closed, and popular feeling is undoubtedly in favour of prohibition. In one case a den which remained open after the time limit was plundered by the people, but whether owing to moral indignation or to recognition of a favourable occasion to loot is uncertain; but the incident tends to show that the movement has public sympathy. Many Anti-Opium Societies have been started.\n\nLittle poppy is grown, but the area is decreasing.\n\nAt Chao-chow, though some thirty divans have been closed, all is confusion as far as the rest of the Decree is concerned, and the only practical proof of success is the fall in the import of opium by ten chests a month, while the price of foreign opium shows a steady decline. Native has also fallen in value.\n\nKuangsi Province.—Production, 3,000 piculs. At Nanning popular enthusiasm in favour of the Decree is so great that strong measures meet with no opposition. The dens are closed and a thorough inspection made by officials, who visit every shop, house, and hovel to obtain particulars regarding smokers.\n\nAt Kueilin, the capital, efficient measures were at once taken by the authorities. The dens are closed, but the drug can still be purchased in the retail shops. The future prospects are looked upon as distinctly hopeful, according to a missionary. Public feeling is aroused, and an energetic Governor is all that is wanted.\n\nAt Wuchow the action of the officials has been fairly satisfactory. The dens are closed, and two recalcitrant proprietors were fined and cangued.\n\nHunan Province.—Production, 3,000 piculs. At Changsha the authorities are sincerely in sympathy with the movement, and none of the local officials smokes.\n\nThe proprietors of dens—544 in number—have been compelled to give bonds to close within six months. Two dispensaries have been opened officially, and the poor are attended gratis. Two refuges were opened—one being subsequently closed, a single one being thought sufficient.\n\nClose upon 200 cures are reported up to the end of September.\n\nIn the west of the province considerable official earnestness is shown, the dens closed, and rewards offered to any one who discovers illicit establishments. A census of each household is taken to facilitate the control of smokers.\n\nHanan Province.—Production, 5,000 piculs. Little or nothing has been done in this province beyond the issue of the Proclamation. About 15 per cent. of the land is under poppy, and in the north of the province it is said that it is the feeling of uncertainty which prevents people from sowing more.\n\nIn one district, however, there is a reduction, and in another the crop was rooted up at the suggestion of the officials. But with these exceptions and the closing of the dens at Fukow no energetic measures have been taken.\n\nHupei Province.—Production, 4,000 piculs. At Hankow nothing has been done beyond threats of dismissal of officials, soldiers, and students, and, although dens have been closed in certain districts, shops still sell the drug. In some districts wheat has been sown among the poppies with the idea of replacing it, while in the north of the province the poppy area has, if anything, increased.\n\nIchong—Nothing whatever has been done—no Proclamations issued, and one or two more dens have been opened.\n\nSzechuan Province.—Production, 200,000 piculs, of which 182,000 is consumed in the province, practically no foreign opium entering this part of China. When these figures are compared with 330,000, the estimated total annual production of opium in China, it will be readily perceived how important a place this province holds in connection with the opium question.\n\nThe area of the province is said to be 167,000 square miles; that of the British Islands is 136,000. Sir Alexander Hosie, the Acting Commercial Attaché in Peking, who has spent five years in the province, has given the following account of the cultivation of opium in Szechuan:—\n\n\"The province was at one time the great wheat producer and exporter, but since the rapid extension of poppy cultivation that export has ceased and has been replaced\n\nPage 9\n\n521\n\n[2813 7-5]",

Lugard.\n\nYour Excellency,\n\nHankow, April 21, 1908.\n\nI HAVE the honour to forward a translation of the Agreement cancelling the Concession for the construction of the Hankow-Canton Railway granted to the American China Development Company.\n\nThe loan bonds mentioned in it were not presented, and are still outstanding, the interest payable on them being provided by Hupei, Hunan, and Kuangtung in the same proportions of one-seventh, three-sevenths, and three-sevenths as the Hong Kong Government's resumption loan instalments of interest and principal.\n\nSo soon as that loan was made, the Viceroy Chang Chih-tung suggested the advisability of a further loan of 5,450,000 taels on the same terms for the purpose of extinguishing all foreign interest in the railway. As under the Concession Agreements the holders of these loan bonds have no control over the line, his Excellency's request was not entertained by your Excellency's Government, and the British and Chinese Corporation demanded guarantees for a par loan, which His Majesty's Government could not agree to.\n\nUpon every occasion, when the question of a British loan for construction purposes has been mooted, however, the Belgian Government, with French support, has claimed prior right to lend on the score of the unauthorized promise made by his Excellency Shêng in June 1898, set forth at p. 246 of Rockhill's Treaties and Conventions, and especially of Belgians being the holders of these bonds. I believe that this objection has had much to do with the Peking Government's forbidding any foreign loan for the Hankow-Canton Railway, and that his Excellency Chang Chih-tung might advise his colleagues on the Grand Council and the Board of Communications to negotiate a construction loan with British capitalists, were it possible now for your Excellency's Government to give favourable consideration to his proposition for a supplementary loan, the principal gradually to be paid off only after the total repayment of the resumption loan of 1905, the security for which would, in my opinion, amply cover such an addition to the loan.\n\nIn view of the Decrees forbidding foreign loans on behalf of the southern trunk line, I do not think the subject could be opened except at Peking. The present Viceroy likewise assures me that the prospect of the Hunan section being financed with native capital remains remote, but disclaims influence sufficient to overcome that province's objection to accept an alien loan.\n\nI hope within a few days to be able to give definite information regarding the Hupei section.\n\nI am forwarding copy of this despatch and its inclosure to His Majesty's Minister.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nE.

And whereas the two parties to the present Agreement have agreed that the amount of such compensation to be paid by the party of the first part to the party of the second part shall be 6,750,000 American gold dollars.

        "content_text": "335\n\nRestriction\n\nin the\n\n6\n\nhas\n\nmany other resources, such as the development of minerals, a tax on spirits and the purification of her system of collection of taxes.\n\nSo far I have dealt with the aims of the Chinese Government, and the direct assistance afforded to it by India and Hongkong in its efforts to restrict the importation (legally or illegally) into China of raw or prepared opium from Hongkong. I will now pass in review the methods adopted by the Hongkong Government to restrict and control the consumption of opium within the Colony. I will add some proposals by which restriction may be made still more effective in the future.\n\n(a.) The \"Farm\".\n\nEnhances prices.\n\nChecks\n\nThe most effective of these, both for restriction and control, has, as experience proves, been the institution of a monopoly leased for a specified period of three years to a \"Farmer\", for the sole right to prepare opium for sale, and to sell it, in the Colony. His right to import prepared opium without declaration and to export it were also recognised. The farm is a lucrative business and its acquisition therefore is the object of keen competition, and the Government derives from the sale of the Monopoly a sum equal to nearly a fourth of its entire Revenue. Seeing that the farm is a restrictive agency this Revenue is entirely legitimate and in any case is no more subject to criticism than the licence fees derived from public houses here or in England. The Government derives no other revenue from opium, except the negligible licences to divan keepers. I have already in a previous paragraph quoted the conditions imposed by the terms of his licence upon the Farmer, and the privileges reserved to him by Ordinance. In order to protect his Monopoly the Farmer has to employ a large staff of detectives and to offer rewards to informers.\n\nIn order to pay for these and also the high fee to Government he is compelled to enhance the retail price of opium, and this enhancement has been progressive in each triennial period for which the farm has been let. In 1900 the price of prepared opium in Hongkong to the smoker, was $1.50 per tael: In 1904 the next Licencee put up the price to $3 which was again increased in 1905 to $3.30. Thus the amount of opium purchasable for 10 cents has been as follows between the years 1896-1904:-----\n\n1.5, 1.2, *1, *8, .57, .4, *3, mace (1½ oz.)\n\n175, 195, 228, 233, 243, 293, 331, thousand population.\n\nThe price in Hongkong is therefore much higher than in the neighbouring city of Canton. In Hongkong it varies from $3.50 to $3.50 per tael while in Canton it is from 80 cents to $1.53.\n\nThis fact naturally encourages smuggling into the Colony, and since Hongkong, being a Free Port, has no Customs Preventive Service it would be impossible to check the smuggling of raw or of prepared opium as effectively as the Farmer can do it when his own pecuniary interests are involved, for it must be remembered that the Colony of Hongkong consists of an island and a peninsula, around whose shores are fleets of trading and fishing junks, while opium being light and of small bulk is easily concealed.\n\nThe Farmer can employ spies and informers, both to check smuggling and to detect illicit boiling of opium, but such methods should, when possible, be avoided by a Government on any extended scale. The Government, however, renders him all possible assistance and issues search warrants on information supplied by the Farmer. The Farmer's Excise Officers also search all persons landing in Hongkong, except a few exempted for public service. This search is most unpopular amongst the Chinese and exemption incidentally stimulates men to come forward for public service. The Farm is disliked in consequence of the search which, however, it would be equally necessary to maintain if the Farm were abolished, (in which case the odium would be incurred by the Government), unless restriction of opium ceased. Beyond doubt the creation of a Monopoly in Chinese hands is the most effective method conceivable for controlling the smuggling, sale, and use, of opium in the Colony.*\n\n* Sir J. Russell, Chief Justice of Hongkong who had made an exhaustive study of the opium question reported as follows on 6.1, 1892:—\" The only practicable way in my opinion of getting any proper revenue out of opium in a free port is by levying a tax on the Manufactured Article, just as on manufactured tobacco or on spirits. Opium in the raw state is not useable. It has to be made fit for smoking, and the raising of a tax on it is just like raising a tax by distilling licenses, or the duty on spirits or tobacco. To diminish consumption of opium, to get an adequate Revenue, and to help China to put down smuggling I am satisfied the Farming system properly controlled will under local circumstances best carry out Lord Knutsford's wish to diminish the evils of the opium traffic independently of Revenue.\" In this view the then Governor and Executive Council concurred.\n\n7\n\nRevenue.\n\nA monopoly by Government was tried and resulted in a decrease in the receipts in the second year to less than half those of the first year, due to the impossibility of coping with the smuggling and illicit preparation of opium. The Revenue lost by Government was therefore so much additional profit to the Smuggler, instead of going to the Farmer who provides the Preventive Service and to the Government which uses its profits for the maintenance of Police, Sanitation, Education, etc. A Government monopoly is moreover more likely to tend to venality and corruption of subordinate officials. In view of what I have said it cannot be justly argued that the Government delegates its functions to an individual and loses prestige, since it co-operates in the duties of search and arrest, while avoiding the odium of employing informers and of making a direct profit by the sale of opium.\n\ndrawn and\n\nUnder the terms of his licence the Farmer is entitled to withdraw from bond, Amount (in order to \"prepare\" it), 1,800 chests per annum.\n\nbe increased by exported. This may imports of prepared and dross opium (not of raw) and he may export as well as supply the local demand. It appears to be a fact that in former years the Farmer did import prepared opium from Singapore, and that much was smuggled to China, but he states that none has been imported for 15 years. However that may be Mr. Clementi's examination of his books proved beyond question that none is imported now except opium dross, \"halan\", and \"tautsingko\" which are imported from Canton and Macao to be used in the \"preparation\" of crude opium for smoking.*\n\nAlthough Macao was always a rival in the export trade and secured the greater share of it, the Hongkong Farmer does a certain amount of business in this line. The markets of Australia and the Philippines are now closed, and more recently (by the prohibiting Ordinance of 1908) that of China also, but it is probable that he still exports about 12 per cent of his opium. The actual number of chests withdrawn by him from bond, since 1895 is as follows:----\n\n1895 1607 1899 1749\n\n1896 1589 1900 1098 1904 725 1908 934 †\n\n1897 1704 1901 1036 1905 858\n\n1898 ... 1902 929 1906 497\n\n1903 990 1907 725\n\nThe low figures in 1904 and 1906 were due to financial embarrassments of the Farmer in those years, caused by the fact that he had tendered for a larger payment to Government than the monopoly could afford. The payment which stood at $2,041,940 in 1905 and 1906 fell in the next contract (March 1907) to $1,452,000. In fact in 1906 the Farmer had to suspend the operations of the farm altogether for some months and adulterated opium was sold. The average for the period excluding these two years is 1,253 chests per annum.\n\nprice and de-\n\nSince the year 1901, the farm has been in the hands of Singapore merchants, Increased who have put up the local retail price from $2 per tael (in 1901) to its present creased con- rate [$3.37] and by this means,aided by the reduction in the Government sumption. rent,--have succeeded in making it pay, in spite of the cessation of smuggling to China and the loss of the Australian and other markets.\n\nThis great increase in local selling price would naturally result in a considerable decrease in smoking, for the poorer classes could not afford to buy so much, but since there are no records of the quantities of prepared opium imported and exported (whether legitimately or otherwise) by the Farmer, it is not possible to gauge the decrease precisely, by the quantities of raw opium drawn from bond by the Farmer. It will, however, be noted that this decrease in smoking, together with the abolition of the smuggling traffic, have combined to reduce the revenue received by Government as rental for the Farm by $588,000, since the last contract was made. It will be noted also that the amount of opium prepared by the Farmer has greatly decreased since 1898 in spite of the acquisition of the New Territories in that year which added about ... to the population.\n\n* Table 6 (b) and (3) of Mr. Clementi's Memo.\n\n† 118 of these chests were Chinese Opium.\n\nThe Straits Commission are emphatic in their view that opium consumption varies inversely with the price, and the dearer it is the less is consumed. The price in the F.M.S. is 40% to 50% less than in the Straits and the consumption per head is nearly double which is undoubtedly attributable to the relative cost\". Report $67-69. They however point out that the danger of increasing the price is that it induces smokers to take to cheaper substitutes. The consumption of morphia increased when the price of opium was raised. It also induces an increase of smuggling. Ibid $248, 256.",

        "content_text": "336\n\nFurther restriction.\n\nThe restriction of the export from India will probably enhance the value of raw opium, and this with the restrictions already alluded to, and others to which I am about to refer, will probably still further reduce the tender in 1910. This in itself constitutes a heavy contribution on the part of the Colony to the policy inaugurated by His Majesty's Government, at a time when, owing to a prolonged depression in trade and to other causes, it is in considerable financial difficulties. Any serious decrease in revenue makes it, of course, more difficult to maintain effective Police supervision, without which the Farmer would be unable to protect his monopoly and prevent smuggling of opium into the Colony, or from the Colony into China.\n\nThere is no evidence to show that the Farmer in any way endeavours to promote the consumption of opium. No methods of inducement or advertisement are used. Opium divans are not in any way made attractive by meretricious devices as are public houses in England, and sales are in no way pushed.\n\nI have endeavoured to show that the system of farming the monopoly of the right to prepare and sell opium results in enhancing the price of the drug and thereby restricts the consumption (the average price of the various grades of the raw drug is only about 1/4 of the average retail selling price in Hongkong); that it is a potent and indeed the only means of checking smuggling either into the Colony or from it to China; and that it produces a revenue that is perfectly legitimate and is expended in providing a Police Service, etc.\n\nIn order to give effect to the policy of His Majesty's Government it is feasible to propose enhancements to the restrictions imposed upon the Farmer. Prior to the year 1891 he was allowed to draw 3,650 chests of opium per annum in order to \"prepare\" and sell it. Since that year the number has been fixed at 1,800, and though it is true that he has not as a matter of fact drawn anything like this amount, it is impossible, except with his consent, to reduce this number, until the present contract expires in March, 1910.\n\n(a) The number could then be reduced by half, viz., 900, and if China perseveres in her efforts it may in future years be progressively diminished, though for reasons which I will presently give I think it of more than doubtful utility to abolish the supply altogether. Since the population is rapidly increasing this constitutes a very substantial decrease. With the decrease of the export from India and the presumable cessation of the export from China, the supply will moreover be greatly curtailed and the cost proportionately increased. The Farmer is willing to agree to an immediate decrease (from March 1909) to 1,000 chests with 200 extra, if required, for bona fide export to places other than China.\n\n(b) If the Farmer for the purposes of his operations should import any prepared opium he must declare it (as also opium dross, dross opium, and \"halan\"), and an equivalent deduction will be made from the quantity of raw opium he is allowed to draw.\n\n(c) He may similarly be called upon to report his monthly sales of prepared and dross opium, whether in the Colony or exported, and in the latter case their destination.\n\n(d) He would be prohibited from selling any opium to women or children, whether for their own use or not.\n\nThese restrictions would of course decrease the value of the farm, and thereby involve a loss of revenue to the Colony, which would however be expended in a practical effort to give effect to the policy of the Home Government.\n\nThere are other important steps which have been taken by this Colony to control and restrict the use of opium, both as regards the question of divans, and (most important of all) as regards the importation, sale, and use, of morphine, and compounds of opium (for eating), as well as cocaine, including moreover recent action with a view to controlling the transit trade in the former to prevent smuggling to China. These matters are, however, best dealt with under the subsequent paragraphs relating to Divans, and Morphia, &c.\n\nThe Straits Commission say (Report § 155) that this was \"clearly proved\" and was surprising looking to the commercial aptitude of the Chinese. The Farmer does not extend sales by giving bonuses, or lower rates for wholesale purchases and rarely gives credit but \"simply supplies a demand and does nothing to stimulate it.\"\n\nSo much prominence has been given of late to the subject of opium divans (or \"Dens\" as they are called in England), that I think it may be useful to add a few observations on them.\n\nDivans, which must not be confused with opium shops whose role is the preparation and sale (or sale only) of opium, are places where opium is sold for smoking on the premises, or where a fee is paid for the privilege of smoking. There is of course no means of preventing persons from preparing and smoking both opium and dross in their own houses if they wish to do so.\n\nIn Hongkong there are 190 divans. They are under the control of the Police and Sanitary Department and the Protector of Chinese. A divan consists of a single room which if quite full might accommodate 30 persons at a time. Mr. Clementi estimates the total who smoke in divans as some 14,465 persons which only gives an average for each divan of 76. Therefore if each person remained 3 hours the average occupants would only be 13 or 14 instead of 30, since divans are only open from 6 a.m. to midnight. A personal inspection showed them to be quiet and orderly. The smokers appeared generally to be friends engaged in animated conversation, smoking tobacco, eating fruit and drinking tea with an occasional whiff from the opium pipe. There were none in a state of stupefaction though the visit was between 10 and 11 p.m.\n\nThe Colonial Secretary, Mr. May, with 9 years' experience as head of Police, who had constantly visited the divans at all hours of the day and night, stated that he had never seen a man here the worse for the drug. He himself though very susceptible even to tobacco had smoked many pipes in succession with no result.\n\nDr. Ayres who studied the question for 20 years smoked 3 mace (174 grains) consecutively, viz., as much as a confirmed smoker would smoke in a day, without feeling any result at all.\n\nA divan licence in Hongkong costs $10 per annum and is renewable annually, and the place is comparable to our public houses in England, in so far as it affords a resort where the tired coolie may rest and enjoy his tobacco and fruit with a little opium, or where friends of the better classes may meet and discuss affairs, but it contrasts strongly with a Public House in that it is quiet and orderly. Women and children are absolutely excluded.\n\nMen who have homes of their own will, in the absence of divans, smoke in their women's quarters as they are now reported to be doing in Canton. Thus the evil hitherto excluded from domestic life will be introduced into the home, where women and children will probably become participators. The idea therefore that smoking at home is less harmful than smoking in a public divan is based on a misconception of the nature of a divan as it exists at any rate in Hongkong. It is true that the criminal classes frequent the divans, because they are often smokers, but they go there for no vicious purpose other than smoking, the place is too open and public for discussing secret plans, and there is no immorality.\n\nThe alternative resort for those with money is the noisy theatre, or the restaurant where much money is wasted, and which is more or less associated with the brothel. For the coolie the alternative is the street, or if he desires to smoke and has no home in which to indulge he must pay some rich man's servants for the privilege of smoking with them. It is indeed anticipated that abolition of divans would lead to the introduction of bad characters into the quarters of the Chinese servants of Europeans, and may even extend instead of curtailing the habit. Divans are a concomitant, and result of the habit of opium smoking rather than an inciting cause, and they serve a useful purpose in concentrating smokers, and thus bringing them under control and supervision. They also tend to diminish...\n\nCalculation dated 12-6-09.\n\n+ Indian Opium Commission. Vol. V. p. 198.\n\nOrdinance 8 of 1891. The keeper's wife or child are alone exempted.\n\nThe Straits Commission support these conclusions very strongly. They hold that public smoking in well-ventilated saloons is better for public health than smoking in private houses. They are \"unhesitatingly of opinion\" that it would be a mistake to abolish divans and that there is \"no necessity or justification\" for doing so. They add some recommendations regarding control and sanitation, but do not advocate any increase in the licence fees which are $2 and $36. (Report § 212 to § 226). Mr. Fox informs me that during a year's residence at the capital of the opium province of Szechuan, he never saw any disturbance in a divan.",

        "content_text": "## S.O.383.\n\n24th December, 1926.\n\nAw16.\n\nDear Paskin,\n\nThank you for your letter of the 11th enclosing a copy of a despatch from Hong Kong on the subject of an opium syndicate in the Colony and draft of a despatch from the Governor on the subject of the facilities to be accorded to Nemazee.\n\nThe despatch and its enclosures from Hong Kong are very interesting and there is information in them which will be useful to the Opium Advisory Committee of the League. I propose therefore to ask the Foreign Office to communicate to the Secretariat of the League, for the information of the Advisory Committee, the substance of the information in the despatch and its enclosure, with the omission of the names and addresses as desired by the Governor. I understand from the last paragraph but one of your letter to me that the Colonial Office have no objection to this being done.\n\nAs regards Nemazee, I have discussed the matter again with Sir John Anderson. We cannot agree with the line taken in the draft despatch which you enclose and hold the view strongly that no facilities should be given to Nemazee or members of his family or firm which could in any way facilitate their trafficking in opium or drugs. We consider that the Colonial Office is looking at the matter in the wrong light. Nemazee makes a claim that he and his branch in Hong Kong have gone out of the opium business...\n\nJ.J. Paskin, Esq., M.C.\n\nCapy 5 W Strang (20) 8 JAN 1927 30046/27.",

This also must be accepted, unless there is evidence to the contrary.\n\nThe Colonial Office thinks that this claim has to be accepted. In view of all that you and we know about the activities of Nemazee and his family in connection with the business of smuggling opium into China and elsewhere, and of the fact that within the last two years he was busily engaged in Persia in connection with this business, we are quite at a loss to understand this attitude on the part of the Colonial Office. Our view is that the Government of Hong Kong should use their powers against Nemazee if they are not satisfied that he is not now concerned in the illicit transactions, and not (as you propose) only if they are in a position to prove that he is so concerned. In other words, the onus of proof should be on Nemazee and not on the Hong Kong Government. We gather from paragraph 5 of your despatch that the Colonial Office is influenced to some extent by the fact that Nemazee has been a prominent member of the English community in the Colony. This appears to us to be an argument for even greater circumspection on the part of the Colonial Government.\n\nHas the Colonial Office considered that it would be practically impossible for the Hong Kong Government ever to satisfy itself, when Nemazee says he wants to go to Shanghai, Macao, Amoy, or Swatow, or any other such place on business affairs, as to whether those affairs are or are not legitimate and do not cover opium transactions unless they should be so fortunate as to get proof through a raid or otherwise that Nemazee is mixed up in some opium transaction, and we understand from past despatches from the Government of Hong Kong that the Nemazee family there are too clever for that to be likely to happen.",

The Colonial Office are going to make that position very much worse if they deliberately decide to give Nemazee and the members of his family and firm, while they reside at Hong Kong, facilities to go about as they please and carry on any business they choose outside the Colony. You will surely appreciate that if, as a result of these facilities, Nemazee or his firm should engage in some illicit opium transaction and should be caught at it, we should have nothing whatever to say in Geneva or elsewhere in our defence. \n\nYours sincerely, \n**Malcoben Delerigne**\n\non \n18 Jan 1927 \n`30046/27`",

Philadelphia, which has completed two voyages with Persian opium from Bushire.\n\nThe interest lies in the fact that for the first time I have been able to prove that a cargo of Persian opium was actually arranged and financed in the Colony.\n\n3.\n\nUnfortunately, I was only able to arrest an employee of the firm, though I was convinced myself that he was a responsible man in the firm. I was unable to prove it to the satisfaction of the magistrate, and he was accordingly discharged. The principals all absconded, and I have been unable to trace them. At least ten of them actually had lived in Hong Kong and must be well-known to many of the Chinese mercantile community. But, as usual, I have been unable to obtain any particulars of them. Many of them had places of residence, in addition, outside the Colony, and went backwards and forwards. In fact, it was this point which would have rendered it very difficult to bring home a charge of dealing in opium to any one of them, it being very difficult to convince the magistrate that any action in reference to the opium had been actually performed in the Colony by any particular person mentioned.\n\n4. I have, however, reason to believe that the action taken thoroughly scared a good many of the higher class of Chinese merchants who were quite partial to taking a share in an opium gamble.\n\n**J.D.

A large number of papers were seized, and one man arrested at 108; the other floors were untenanted at the time.\n\nThe firm occupying 108 was called Kwong Hing Loong; it purported to deal in exchange, but no evidence of this was discovered. It had been started about the middle of 1925, apparently for no other purpose than to deal in opium, both Chinese and Persian. The partners were 21 in number: 6 belonging to Canton, 10 belonged to Hong Kong or were frequently resident here, 1 to Haiphong and Yunnanfu, though at one time resident here; the remainder belonged to Kongmoon.\n\nA branch or allied firm was maintained at 12 Rua do Mastro, Macau. This firm apparently attended to the disposal of opium in the hinterland and exchanged cables with Bushire direct in order to avoid Hong Kong.\n\nThe Kwong Hing Loong was found to be the managing agents for the Yue Hing Steam Ship Co., a partnership of 4 persons, of whom 3 were also partners in the other firm. The other partner, Ho Lui Hap, was a native of Shanghai and apparently had had some connection with the S.S. Cochin Chine before.\n\nIn September 1925, the S.S. Cochin Chine was sold by order of the Court here for $45,000; the purchaser at once resold her to the Yue Hing Steam Ship Co. for $66,000. The names mentioned in the document of sale were different from those found in the books of the Company. She was renamed Philadelphia, or in Chinese \"Tsun On\". The ship was at once placed in the hands of a shipyard for refit and left this port for Keelung on 7th October 1925. At Keelung, she took in a large amount of coal and left for the Persian Gulf. She left Bushire with Persian opium on 27th...",

        "content_text": "before 27th November, 1925, and was again at Keelung sometime between 14th January, 1926, she arrived here on 3rd February, and was employed between this port and Haiphong till 27th May when she left for Hongay, from thence she sailed to Formosa to take in a large supply of coal, and she was next heard of on July 4th when S.S. Fushimi Maru heard her calling up Sabang by wireless, and using as a call signal, the letters allotted to a station in Formosa. Finally on August 10th she left Bushire with opium, arriving at Sabang for docking, and leaving thence on September 1st. After this date all trace is lost of her; from intercepted letters she went to near Shanghai, and was expected at Haiphong. It was rumoured that she had been seen in a Bay near Swatow, about the middle of September, but this is uncertain.\n\nOf the first consignment of Persian opium it appears from the papers seized that the Awong Hing Loong were responsible for 261 chests; the other chests certainly had Nemazee's marks, and may account for the ship's visit to Macau before coming back here. Of the second consignment it appears from a cable in secret code which I was able to decipher, that 481 chests of Persian opium belonged to the syndicate managed by the Kwong Hing Loong, and the remainder, 156 chests, belonged to a man called Wai and others; it is probable that this was the portion which was to be delivered in the neighbourhood of Shanghai. Reference to the report from the H.B.M. Resident at Bushire it will be seen that this amount is somewhat larger than that reported by him; to the Dutch authorities at Bushire the captain showed a manifest giving 560 chests only. The reason for the difference is not apparent in any of the papers.\n\nOn \n\nThe Kwong Hing Loong as soon as it was decided to form a syndicate to send the ship to Bushire for opium, began to solicit subscribers; the firm itself and the firm in Macau took up a certain number of chests, their partners took up a certain number, and the employees of the firm were allowed to come in at a favourable",

The \namounts agreed on were paid gradually by instalments, in fact \nsome were paid after the ship had arrived back with her cargo. \nA deposit was paid of apparently about ten per cent on the opium \nordered from Behbehani, the remainder was remitted through the \nHong Kong and Shanghai Bank direct to Bombay for the credit of \nBehbehani about two days before the ship sailed from Bushire.\n\nWhere the opium was disposed of is not clear from the documents. 55 chests were stored at one time somewhere in this Colony. \nThe opium was mostly sold in odd lots in packages each containing \n48 taels, occasionally a whole chest is sold at once. The opium \ncost from $1,900 to $2,400 a chest, and was sold for various \namounts up to about $4,500 in notes. The amounts realised were \npaid over to the subscribers less any portion of the subscription \nnot already paid up. In many cases the subscribers never saw or \ndealt with the opium in any way; when the goods were sold they \nreceived a certain sum. In many cases no actual allotment of any \nparticular chests were made, and it is not clear how it was \ndecided how much the chest subscribed for by a particular person was sold for. It appears probable that when subscribers were in \narrears with their subscriptions, the money required for immediate remittance was obtained from a Chinese Bank by the name \nof Sheng Fook, who owned a share in the Kwong Iling Loong firm. This \nbank also acted as the repository for the money paid in, and in \nmany cases actually collected the amounts from Canton and Kong-\nmoon.\n\nMany of the names of the partners were already familiar; they were connected with the Nam Lei Loong firm, which was searched in connection with the Wing Tai firm in 1923. In fact, one of the partners had started a new firm under a different name \nin the same premises as were occupied in 1923 by the Wing Tai.\n\nThe name of the chief defendant, Lo Yue Heung, in the case reported on in connection with 20 Lei Yuen Street East in July \nlast",

The trip was calculated to last for three months, and during this time the crew were paid double wages, and also received a handsome bonus which was paid in instalments. The Captain, Alfred Enanteau, received as much as $3,275 as a bonus for the November trip. A supercargo by the name Yue Hong travelled on the ship; he was a partner in the Wong Hing Loong; he had management of all the business connected with the opium cargo, exchanged cables with the headquarters here, and the ship could be traced by any mention of him as being at a certain place. On each trip, provision was made for going to Sabang, Keelung, and Shanghai, by the purchase of a considerable amount of the currency of these places; a considerable amount in sovereigns was also carried. On the first trip, Sabang was missed, and a record is found of the repurchase of the Dutch currency provided originally.\n\nIn the case of the second trip, the trouble was taken to go to a regular European ship broker to fix a charter for 3 months, a charter really to themselves; the man who signed the charter party was not a partner, or even a manager. The charter party was for only $5,500 per month, and prohibited the ship going west of Bombay. The chop which had been used to affix to the charter party was found with the chops of the Kwong Hing Loong firm; it had obviously been only used once or twice. The name of the charter was given as the Hop ...oh firm of Amoy, and the ship was stated to be for delivery at that port. So far as the papers found show, the only person connected with Amoy was...",

It is probable \nthat the idea of the charterparty was to conceal the real \ndestination of the ship.\n\nIn one of the cables from the supercargo at Bushire decoded, \nmention is made that the ship would have a red funnel and would \nfly a white flag as a mark of distinction. Instructions were \ngiven for the ship to be met by another ship at a place called \nLong Fong Kai; the exact situation of this place cannot be \ndetermined, but it is believed to signify some creek west of Macau, or possibly between Haiphong and Fakhoi. Information \nreceived was to the effect that part of the opium was to be put \noff into junks southwest of Gap Lock, near some islands. One \ncable suggested that she was to call at Saigon for orders; she did not, however, do so. A more recent letter intercepted seems \nto imply that she is due now in Haiphong. Letters seized make it quite plain that she was due to arrive in the neighbourhood of Shanghai, and local rumour had it that she had discharged her opium near that place about the middle of September. In all the documents, absolutely no mention is made of any \nintention of going to Vladivostock, for which she cleared from \nBushire in both instances.\n\nIn the first venture, some $450,000 was raised, and for the \nsecond, some $650,000. It is to be remarked that this money was \nraised at the time of the beginning of the strike in July 1925, \nand while the boycott was in progress in June and July this year \nin respect of the second venture. Though trade was very bad, \napparently the members of the syndicate had no doubt that an opium deal would be highly successful in spite of all the \ntrouble. The fact that the opium was financed from Hong Kong \napparently was not allowed to interfere with its disposal in spite of the boycott.\n\nsd. J.D. Lloyd. \nSuperintendent of Imports and Exports. \n22nd October, 1926.",

There was last year no examination of passengers or passengers leaving the Colony, whether practice may have altered since I left.

The first step is to identify and correct the obvious OCR errors, such as broken words and incorrect spacing.\n\n\n## Step 2: Correcting OCR Errors and Rejoining Sentences\nUpon closer inspection, it's clear that the text has been severely distorted by the OCR process. The task requires rejoining broken sentences, correcting spelling errors, and restoring the original paragraph structure.\n\n\n## Step 3: Analyzing the Text for Meaning\nDespite the errors, certain phrases and words are recognizable, such as \"the opinion of Legal Muse\" and references to \"Persia\" and \"HK\" (likely Hong Kong). The text seems to be discussing legal or business matters related to these locations.\n\n\n## Step 4: Reconstructing Paragraphs and Sentences\nTo reconstruct the text, we need to identify natural breaks in the content, such as changes in topic or speaker, and use these to guide the restoration of paragraphs. Sentences that are split across lines need to be rejoined.\n\n\n## Step 5: Applying OCR Proofreading Rules\nThe rules provided dictate that we should preserve the original content as much as possible, correct unambiguous spelling errors, and reformat the text into Markdown. This includes using headers, bold text for labels or titles, and reconstructing tables.\n\n\n## Step 6: Executing the Proofreading Task\nGiven the complexity and the condition of the text, a direct reconstruction is challenging without a clear understanding of the original content.

Among his other activities, he has, for years, dealt in Persian opium on a big scale.\n\nAbout 3 or 4 years ago, it became clear that he was engaged in the opium smuggling trade, as consignment after consignment appeared under his name in the Persian Gulf consular shipping reports with no conceivable \"legitimate\" destination, since they were greatly in excess of the \"legitimate\" requirements of Macao and Japan. On arrival in the Far East, most of this opium disappeared \"into the blue\". Part of it was fairly definitely accounted for as imported into Macao, by the device of passing 4 \"chests\" into one \"case\", but the bulk of it was presumed to go (a) to China for smoking purposes (the importation of opium into China is officially prohibited) and/or (b) into Japan, for conversion into morphine, which in turn was largely smuggled into China.\n\nOn the representations of the Home Office (which Department is concerned by virtue of the fact that Sir M. Delevingne is the British Representative on the League of Nations Opium Advisory Committee), backed by the Foreign Office, the Governor of Hongkong was instructed to do his utmost to put a stop to Nemazi's activities in this illicit",

Nemazi always appeared to be very careful to refrain from infringing the (quite stringent) Hongkong opium laws, and there was no evidence on which a charge could be brought under the Hongkong Ordinance. In spite of the mass of information in their possession, the Home Office were unable to provide any such definite evidence.\n\nThe next move (at the instance of the Home Office) was to amend the Ordinance to give the Hongkong Government the same rights of search of premises, books, etc., and rights to seize documents, etc., as the Home Office have under the Dangerous Drugs Acts; and when the Ordinance had been so amended, the Home Office constantly urged that advantage should be taken of these powers to raid Nemazi's premises. The Hongkong Government, however, was not willing to make a raid on the premises of such a prominent local figure, who had great legitimate trade interests, unless it was pretty certain that it would, in fact, be likely to produce evidence on which a charge could be based.\n\nShortly",

They doubted whether the Hongkong Government's interpretation of their Ordinance was correct, but suggested that the way to make sure of him was to amend the Hongkong Opium Ordinances to make it illegal for anyone in the Colony to deal in opium, whether in the Colony or elsewhere, except under licence.\n\nThey also pressed for (1) Nemazi's certificate of local naturalisation to be cancelled; (2) his commission as a J.P. to be cancelled; (3) in the event of his return to Hongkong (which was then understood to be imminent), for him or any member of his family or firm to be denied any travelling facilities.\n\nA despatch on these lines was addressed to the Governor and the upshot was (1)",

The question of allowing Nemazee facilities being one about which we feel strongly, I have consulted Sir John Anderson in regard to your objection to renewing the instructions which were given to the Governor by the Colonial Office in 1924 on our suggestion, and which were to the effect that \"if Mr. Nemazee returned to Hong Kong no travelling facilities which could in any way facilitate his illicit operations should in future be granted to him or members of his family or firm\". Your view, I gather, is that because there is no proof to controvert the claim that the Hong Kong firm have gone out of the opium business, and because there is only a mere suspicion that Nemazee may be doing what his son is able to do \"openly and lawfully\" under another British administration (I presume this is a reference to the branch at Bombay), Namazee should be allowed by the Hong Kong Government complete liberty of action to travel about in the Far East and to Persia, or anywhere else, where he might be able to do business in opium and drugs. This position seems to us to be indefensible.

Mr. Haji Muhammed Namazi has, I understand, been away from Hongkong for more than a year, travelling in Europe, whence he arrived in Shiraz a few months ago; his father recently left Shiraz for India en route to Hongkong, and Mr. Haji Muhammad is temporarily remaining here, for family reasons, it is stated.\n\nHis claim appears to me to be bristling with legal difficulties.\n\nIn 1924, when he was still in Hongkong and the Ordinance against transactions in opium had not yet been promulgated in that Colony, a certain Chinaman of Swatow, who had one business in that port under a name not his own, and a business in Shanghai under his Brother's name, signed a contract with Mr. Namazi for the purchase and delivery at Bushire of a quantity of chests of opium. The contract stipulated for deposit of part of the price and payment of the rest at Bushire on shipment. The S.S. \"Tai-tak\" (see Residency Diary No. 99 of 1925) sailing under the Portuguese flag arrived at Bushire, (Mr. Namazi has since given the date as May 1924, saying that the present is the third voyage of the ship to Bushire) but the Chinese party did not fulfil the contract, and eventually secured the opium, having paid only some 60,000 dollars (since changed to 20,000 by telegram from Hongkong) leaving 290,000 dollars owing, and still owing today.\n\nThe Namazi firm in Hongkong were unable to secure payment...",

Since the Hongkong Ordinance was promulgated \nin the autumn of 1924, neither his father personally nor \nhis firm in Hongkong had any dealings in opium: in fact \nthey could not, even if they wanted, because of the Ordinance. \nThey had applied for a Government license to deal with \nFormosa (or Japan) and he was not certain what \nthe outcome was. The deal, for which he was now trying \nto recover payment in Basrah, was the last made by \nhis father (his firm in Hongkong?) in 1924 before the \nOrdinance. Since then any business by members of his \nfamily in opium had been by the firm of his oldest \nbrother (Aqa Ali Namazi) in Bombay and by relatives in \nShiraz, Aqa Muhammad Mehdi Hamasi and Aqa Muhammad Ja'far \nNamazi (the latter a partner in the Bombay firm). And the \nfirm of Aqa Ali Namazi in India was free under the law \nto deal in opium as any other British or foreign merchants \nin India. Nearly all sales, except those for Persia, were \nmade for Shanghai, where the Chinese Governor made \nmillions of dollars a year from the special tax he levied. \nThe Chief of Police of the International Settlement at \nShanghai had recently recommended that import there \nshould be allowed under licence, instead of being \nsmuggled promiscuously. Mr. Hamasi thought that this was \nthe best solution for the Persian opium problem - \nexport to China should be allowed under license. \n\n## Page 174",

He instanced the prejudice of the U.S.A. Financial Advisers at Tehran which had caused them to fall into the same error.\n\nThe Chinese prefer Indian to Persian opium for smoking, just as there are different tastes in tobacco; and in 1919 it was represented to Mr. Namazi that, if he mixed a proportion of Indian chests in his Persian shipments, a better sale and prices would be obtained in China. He was the first therefore to cause Indian opium to be sent to Bushire, where, in the proportion of, say, 50 to 250 or 300 chests, it was shipped to China. This went on till 1924, thereby assisting the sale of Persian opium and prices obtained.\n\nThen someone represented to the Persian Government that the bringing of Indian opium to Bushire for re-shipment was damaging Persian opium trade, and the U.S.A. Advisers shortsightedly - though he thought they were also actuated by a special animus against his firm for some reason or other - prohibited the re-shipment of Indian opium from Persia.\n\nH.G.O.",

I suspect, though I am in no position to prove that some of the other importers' names were used merely as a blind to conceal the activities of this better-known firm.\n\nThe Chief Secretary, Sarawak, by his telegram No.33 of the 28th September 1986, licensed the import of 150 chests of opium by Messrs. J.A. Elias, who also figure in the list of importers for Singapore.\n\nThe Government of the Netherlands East Indies have also sanctioned the import of 700 cases for use in that colony. Of this, 300 cases are to be imported by the firm of How much eyer Bros. and the balance by Messrs. J. & Miss... How the Nemazees are interested in this, I cannot say.\n\nAnother Nemazee-named Haji Mohammed Hasan Nemazee of Shanghai appears to have been concerned in the export of 166 chests of opium for the Kwantung Leased Territories in October last.\n\nFinally, I am now in receipt of a licence issued by the Siamese Government, permitting Mr. H.A. Nemazee of Singapore to import 1100 chests into Siam. Thus, out of the 3917 chests recently licensed, the Nemazee family have been directly interested in 2200 chests and are probably indirectly interested in the remainder.\n\nWhile the Nemazee family cannot be attacked for their present activities, it may be argued that, in thus making use of them, they are being helped to build up such a strong position that they will, when the state of China...",

MORLAND ACQUITTED\n\nThe trial of Lord Kylsant and Mr. Harold John Morland on charges relating to the affairs of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company was concluded at the Central Criminal Court yesterday, before Mr. Justice Wright.\n\nBoth defendants were found Not Guilty on the counts which charged them with making and publishing false annual reports of the company for some period of time, and Mr. Morland was discharged. Lord Kylsant was found Guilty on the charge of making, publishing, and circulating a false prospectus, and he was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment in the second division.\n\nThe charge against Lord Kylsant was that, being a director of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, he made, circulated, or published, or concurred in making, circulating, or publishing, annual reports of the directors of the company for the years 1926 and 1927, and dated May 11, 1927, and May 9, 1928, which he knew to be false in a material particular, with intent to deceive the shareholders of the company.\n\nMr. Morland was charged with aiding and abetting Lord Kylsant in the commission of these offences.\n\nLord Kylsant was also charged with making, circulating, or publishing, or concurring in making, circulating, or publishing, a prospectus which he knew to be false in a material particular, with intent to induce persons to entrust or advance property to the company.\n\nThe Attorney-General (Sir William Jowitt, K.C.), Mr. D. N. Pritt, K.C., Mr. Eustace Fulton, and Mr. Patrick Devlin appeared for the prosecution. Sir John Simon, K.C., Mr. J. E. Singleton, K.C., and Mr. Wilfrid Lewis defended Lord Kylsant; Sir Patrick Hastings, K.C., Mr. Stuart Bevan, K.C., Mr. C. J. Conway, K.C., and Mr. F. J. Tucker defended Mr. Morland. Mr. Henry O'Hagan and Mr. Elder Jones held watching briefs on behalf of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company.\n\nBoth the defendants pleaded \"Not Guilty.\"\n\nJUDGE'S SUMMING-UP\n\nTHE LAW AND SECRET RESERVES\n\nMR. JUSTICE WRIGHT, in summing-up, said that the case was important because it involved the ventilation in the City of London and in that Court of many questions connected with the finance and accounts of companies, a matter of the very highest public importance.\n\nThe law required the appointment of an auditor, who was the servant of the company. His duty was to report to the shareholders on the accounts which the directors were going to present to them.\n\nIf the accounts from which dividends were being met were being fed from undisclosed reserves, it seemed very difficult to see how an auditor could discharge his duty without drawing attention to that fact.\n\nWas it not a matter of the most vital importance? No doubt an auditor must use a certain amount of discretion, but he must report and give a certificate whether, in his opinion, the balance-sheet referred to in the report was properly drawn up so as to exhibit a true and correct view of the state of the company's affairs according to the information given to the auditor.\n\nMr. Morland might have taken an imperfect or an inadequate view of the duties which rested on auditors.\n\nDUTIES OF AUDITOR\n\nThe law did not impose any impossible burden on an auditor, but he had to report and give a certificate whether, in his opinion, the balance-sheet referred to in the report was properly drawn up so as to exhibit a true and correct view of the state of the company's affairs according to the state of the information given to the auditor.\n\nIf the account from which dividends were being met was being fed from undisclosed reserves, it seemed very difficult to see how an auditor could discharge his duty without drawing attention to that fact.\n\nTHE PROSPECTUS\n\nTurning to the charge against Lord Kylsant in connexion with the prospectus, his Lordship said that the prospectus stated that, although the company, in common with other companies, had suffered from depression, the audited accounts of the company showed that during the previous 10 years the average annual available balance had been always sufficient to pay the interest on the Debenture stock.\n\nIt was perfectly true that the balance-sheets soon showed those average annual balances, that one would arrive at the average annual balance stated.\n\nBut it was said that there was such an economy of truth in the statement as to deceive anyone who knew nothing about the company's affairs and was likely to be deceived to his loss, and therefore to defraud.\n\nFALSITY BY OMISSION\n\nDealing with the charge as set out in the indictment and the offence defined in the Larceny Act, 1861, his Lordship said that a document might be false, not because of what it stated, but because of what it did not state.\n\nThe latter type of falsity was more difficult to establish than where one could point to specific false word or sentence, because, where the falsity consisted of the creation of a false impression while keeping accurately to the facts which appeared in the document in question, one had got to show affirmatively that there had been a deliberate intent to create a false impression.\n\nCOMPOSITION OF 1926 SURPLUS\n\nHis Lordship then reviewed the special debits which had been brought in in the years 1921 onwards.\n\nIn 1926 the surplus on the whole position was £628,535. That surplus was obtained by bringing in from excess profits reserve £550,000, from income-tax reserve £175,000, profit on the sale of H. and W. Nelson, Limited, and £150,000 from the general reserve.\n\nSIMPLE FAITH OF SHAREHOLDERS\n\nFor seven years balance sheets and profit and loss accounts were issued which did not disclose whether the company was earning any profit or not.\n\nDuring those seven years there was expended out of the unpublished items, which were mainly connected with the shipowning business, sums which amounted to some millions of pounds.\n\nTHE VERDICT\n\nThe jury retired at 3.32.\n\nAt 5.20 his Lordship returned to the Court and said that he had received a letter from the jury which he had thought it best to read in open Court.\n\nThe jury had to decide whether or not that was a false document.\n\nAddressing the jury, his Lordship said: \"The question you ask is according to the words in the indictment, 'with intent to deceive the shareholders'; you ask whether the intent must be fraudulent.\"\n\nAfter an absence of three hours the jury found both the defendants Not Guilty on the first two counts, and Lord Kylsant Guilty on the third count relating to the prospectus.\n\nHis Lordship immediately discharged Mr. Morland.\n\nSENTENCE ON LORD KYLSANT\n\nAfter asking Lord Kylsant if he had anything to say, MR. JUSTICE WRIGHT, addressing him, said: \"Lord Kylsant, the jury have found you Guilty on the third count of this indictment.\"\n\nThe sentence of the Court is that you be kept in prison in the second division for 12 months.\"\n\nSIR JOHN SIMON asked for bail in view of an appeal.\n\nAn application is to be made in the High Court to-day for leave to appeal.\n\nPage 18\n\n...\n\nPage 363\n\n \nD.
