The Chinese government has succeeded
not only in stamping out the planting OF
opium, but has reduced the opium smok-
ing habit to a negligible minimum. By
enacting and enforcing the most stringent
anti-opium laws the Chinese officials have
made 1t practically impossible to plant
opium. In five provinces the penalty for
planting opium is death. These laws are
not dead letter laws, but are enforced
most vigorously. In certain district in
Szechuan, where the farmers refused %
Gig up their Illegally planted opium, the
officials of the law came and made the
offenders kneel down in their fields. Then
they beheaded them, and the blood flowed
between the rows of the crimson poppies.
In all provinces the authorities have most
vigorously enfored the anti-opium laws.
The magnitude of the reform can only
be appreciated by those who are familiar
with the traffic as it existed up to within
a year or two ago. Its gigantic proper
lions and its wide qualifications led many
to think that it could not be stopped.
But the Chinese people rose up in their
dignity and slew the monster, and thus
achieved one of the most signal moral
victories that the world has ever wit
messed.
Now the opium merchants of Shanghi
and Hong Kong, saddeled with millions of
dollars worth of unstable opium, are
raising the cry that the Chinese, by thus
ending the opium traffic all at once have
broken their treaties and have done seri-
Gus injury to trade. They are asking the
British government to press the Chinese
to indemnify their losses. There arises on
the China coast a loud wall for help but
this time il does not come from homeless
and starving women and children who
have been reduced to misery because their
husbands and fathers were ruined by the
opium habit. 1t does not come from chit
dren sold into slavery to enable their par
ents to buy opium. This time the wall Of
woe comes from the merchant princes
who have so long grown sleek and fat on
the profits of trade which has caused
untold suffering and misery.
The British government, through its le-
CATION here, has repeatedly protested to
the Chinese government against the ener-
getic measures which the Chinese author
tiles have taken from time to time against
the traffic in Indian opium. The British
government contends that the treaty Of
1911 guarantees the continuance of the
Indian opium trade in China until 1917 un-
less the Chinese shall before that time
succeed in stamping out the opium cul-
tiyation As a matter of fact, while the
treaty does not give the Chinese the pow
er to shut Indian opium out of China, it
does give them the right to enact and
enforce any laws when they see fit for
the extinction of the opium habit. It does
not give the Chinese the right to inter
