lieves that he has discovered the true
cause of the recent disastrous famine in
Bengal. It appears that the Finance De
partment in India, in order to cheaper
the price of opium and compete with the
Chinese poppy growers, have given such
encouragement to the natives of Bengal
that, of the limited area suitable for grow

acres are taken up by the opium crop

yield its quota of wheat instead of poppy
seeds, not only would the moral and
physical condition of the people be
greatly improved, but there would now
be in store a full supply of nourishina
food.
