How Is the opium handIed?"
In British India ii is a government
monopoly, and 1t is also raised in the
native states. AS to the product of the
latter the government does not inter-
fere, but il allows no opium to come
into or pass through the British terri
tories without payment of duty.
The amount of land under such cul-
tivatiOn is comparatively small. In the
British territories it is not more than
1000 square miles, or about equal to
your state of Rhode Island. The gov
eminent decides what fields may be
planted in pOppies and restricts these
ITO certain sections of Bengal and the
United Provinces. The cultivatOrS re-
ceive advances TO enable them TO pre-
pare the ground and raise the pOppies,
but are bound to sell their whole crop
to the official agents at the govern
ment's price. They send it to the fac
tories, where il is prepared for the mar
kets. 1t is there put up in chests and
shipped to Calcutta, where there are
auction sales monthly for export
abroad"
India's Opium the Best. .
why does China, which raises opium
itself, take India opium"
Because our opium is the best of the
world We have one kind called Malwa,
which brings in something like S.
600, 900 a year. As to the Chinese, we
have agreed TO stop sending them
opium if they will stop using the drug
in the space of ten years. They must
also stop raising opium. We have begun
TO carry out our part of the contract
and are gradually reducing our manu-
facture and the areas planted If the
Chinese do not carry out their part Of
the contract we shall continue to ex-
port and produce"
'Is much opium consumed in India? ?"
1T is used in every province, al
though not to the extent of China The
consumption is highest in Assam, where
it amounts to about seventeen pounds
per thousand. The united provinces use
something like five pounds per thou
sand. and the people Of southern India
less. The drug is not smoked, but Is
usually taken In pills and sometimes
is drunk, dissolved in water"
