The profiteers from the drug trade included William, Earl
of Shelburne, who organized Britain's first Intelligence
Service, whose agents were drawn from Britain's leading
families. Its chairman was George Baring, and it

Malthus. The Geneva headquarters was run by the
Mallet Prevost family, whose descendants include Allen
Dulles of the CIA.

(known to the Chinese as Hon John Co.); 2. Jardine
Matheson; 3. Dent & Co.; 4. Pybus Bros.; 5. Russel &
Co.; 6. Cama Bros.; 7. Duchess of Atholl; 8. Earl of
Balcarras; 9. George IV; 10. Prince Regent; 11. Marquis
of Camden; 12. Lady Melville.
On Feb. 1, 1927, the New York Times noted the passing
of Sir Robert Jardine, "the son and heir of the late Sir
Robert Jardine, and succeeded his father as the head of
Jardine Mathieson & Co. Hong Kong which for a long
time held almost a monopoly in the importation of Indian
opium into China." Sir Robert had inherited $20 million
and 20,000 acres in Scotland. Dr. William Jardine had
settled in Canton in 1819.
