AN OPIUM REVIVAL. ONE of the very few things which China has done well is the suppression of the opium habit with all its baneful influences. Under the spur of enlighten- cd foreign opinion, the Chinese rid them- selves of opium much earlier than was anticipated, and in their thoroughness actually defied Conventions to which the British Government was a party. This, in other circumstances, might have had awkward consequences, but those who took the risk knew that the British people would not take advantage of an agreement in order to insist upon the continuance opium importa

These reports came from reputable sources-- from missionaries and from foreign travellers and naturally they could not be ignored. Accordingly, the British Miniator has lodged a protest with the Chinese Government. Under the Opium Convention, Indian opium may be im- ported into China so long as the poppy is cultivated in China. That is the legal aspect, but in these days of higher ideals it may be taken for granted. that Sir John Jordan and tho British Government, which he
