(e) The present Chairmen of the Municipal Council, in his letter of 21st September last, intimates the intention of the Countil to propose to the ratepayers, at their mesting next March, a scheme for gradually re ducing the number of Opium shops, similar to that by which the Opium dens were unprosed at the rolu of one fourth annually from 1008 to 1911. The Beard would pein: out that to silopt this method now, after the closing of 'Opium shops has been gen- erally enforced in China for several yers, would be an exhibition of want -ot"regard for Chinese opinion and for moral considerations calculated veri ously to prejudita Europeans in the eyes of the Chino people. "The Chairman may yessibly be right in his contention that the effect of such. reduction is not likely materially t reduce consumption, seeing that Opium is not permitted to be smoked on the premises, and that it can make little difference to a purchaser for consump tion at home that he may have to gol

I will guarantee to Hongkong and Shanghai to clear out have your car up to its Highest Effeiney their stocks of Thalian Opium, which a very short time in ve still amounted on the 2nd September -last-to-9,300-chests The Bourd would strongly deprecate this subordination of the interests of the Chinese com munity, the good name of the British nation, and the progress of Christian missions to the pecuniary interests of merchants who have been speculating on the supposed inability of the Chinese Government to carry out the gread reform to which it is pledged. These merchants have, moreover, dur- ing, the past year or two, realized enormeus profits on all the Opium sold by them, so enormous indeed that is is notorious that such profite have many times covered any lose that might now follow the immediate closing of the Shanghai market. They have therefore no possible claim to be indemnified against any loss that may accrue to them through its closing. This consideration, it may be observed, equally applies to the closing of the three, remaining pro- vinces of Eltern China.

Con- gul-General at Shanghai, and the Chairman of the Shanghal Municipal Council, is tantamount to a defiance of the British Government, That Bir John Jordan's instructions, dated July,! 1914, to Consul-General Fraser, to encourage, the reduction at Opium- selling licenses, should be met with a rebuff from the Chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Council, when he stated that The subject is not of muthcient importance to justify" the elling of a moeting before the re zular Ratepayers' Meeting of March, 1015, is equivalent to a claims on, the part of the Shanghai Municipal Cont el that they represent an Independent Slate.
