forms are delayed by the need Of
money A healthy reform has been the
partial abolition of public gambling;
the more praiseworthy because the
gambling farms are an important
source of revenue. Already so per cent.
of the gambling farms in the country
had been gradually suppressed, and on
April 1 their abolition was to become
absolute. The large revenue derived
from the gaming tables in Bankok can
not however, be dispensed with, though
the farm will be shut down when other
funds can be found to supply the def
cheney. Increased revenue is badly
needed by the country, but this in
crease can only be obtained by an in
crease of the import duties on foreign
merchandise. Permission to make this
increase must be accorded by the Pow
ers. 1t is this permission for which
