an international anti-opium conven-

to urge upon the British govern
ment abrogation of the agreement
which would permit the sale of In
dian opium in China for seven years
longer. The Chinese government
has prohibited opium smoking after
one year.
In 1906" DR.. Crafts declared
following a resolution of the Brit
ish parliament requesting the gov

opium trade to a speedy close the
Chinese government ordered the
closing OF opium dens in six months,
and the gradual suppression of all
poppy raising and use of the drug
during ten years, during which per-
iod also the British government
agreed to decrease the export of
opium to China to the same degree,
