CAINA'S GREAT OPIUM

Rev u. W. Thwlng. who has just rec
turned from the International opium
Conference at Shanghai, says that the
conference is likely to lead to some
large results. He has given the fol-
lowing account of the work
Since leaving Honolulu last Noyem-
Der, a most important change in the
government OF China has taken place
It was change that had been looked
forward to by the diplomats of many
nations with misgivings and alarm;
and it has taken place and the new
government has been established with
very little outward commotion. The
crisis has been passed and the ship OF
state in China with the Prince regent
at the helm seems to be sailing on
ward towards definite goal of re-
form Difficulties, trenAendous ones,
lie before her but real progress is be-
ing made.
The world conference, against
opium at Shanghai is another import
ant work done. 1t marks the begin
ming of a still stronger fight against
this injurious traffic. On leaving Ho-
nolulu, by the S. S. Manchuria, the first
work was to secure the influence Of a
large number of American passengers,
then travelling to China, against Anne
ricas opium trade. A petition was
sent to the President and later a very
favorable reply was received from Sec
rotary of State Elihu Root An opium
prohibition law was passed by Con-
gress early in 1909, and America S
opium trade carried on for over TWEEN
ty years contrary to the spirit of the
treaty with China, has been stopped.
Reaching Japan, some two weeks
was spent meeting high officials and
Japanese statesmen as well as giving
lectures to large schools and gather
ings of young men. An enthusiastic
meeting of the bureaus Japan council
was held, and all expressed a deep in
terest in the coming word conference
Large meetings were held in Tokyo
Yokohama and Kyoto as well as al
other points. A trip was then made to
the Philippine Islands where condi-
tons were carefully studied. An eX-
cursion was made into the interior
through two provinces, with DR.. Bar
rows, director of public education, and
some addresses were given in the pub
lie schools.
During January several weeks were
spent in Canton and South China, and
many large meetings were held with
active anti-opium societies there. Many
facts and much information was Sc
cured for presentation to the opium
commissioners. On January %, the
| secretary reached Shanghai and at
once came in touch with the delegates
who had arrived During the week
or more before the opening of the great
conference the aim was to get well ac-
! quainted with the commissioners and
learn their views. Some were inclined
