APPLICATION FOR LAND LEASE.
[By courtesy of the "Sheung Po."]
Peking, 19th May. The Russians have applied for the lease of certain territory in Kirin to develop it, but the Waiwupu has strenuously opposed the application.
And why does an attempt at prohibition bring all this, and fail signally? Because in this rush to relum; law-makers have given litle consideration to the really vital side of the whole question, viz the man who smokes the opium.
To intelligently set forth the claims to re. cognition of this phase of the discussion re quiies consideration and explanation by those who have studied, particularly from the medi. cal side, the question of drug addiction. How ever, it may be stated fairly clearly without such scientific treatment,"
The opium, addict will have his drug at all cons, Probably seventy-five per cent. of the consumers, of oplum in China, and full-fledged addicts to the drug, in the strictest interpreta tion put upon the word "addict ""by medical science. They will have their drug at all "cosis.
These people must have proper medical treatment for the cure of their addiction, ather- wise the consumption of opium gas on. The fact that the crand addict will not stop 01 <apy crime in order to procure his oplum makes it. obvious that the most carefully organized go- verement machinery cannot cope with suppres. sive measures without colpcident provision for the med cat treatment of the consumer, whose cravings and demands create thefopium market which it is sought to abolish.,

And why all the above? Because a question of dealing with opium addictive is involved dry addiction as kuowata medical science, and with which law-makers, ugassisted by medical science, cannot deal.
The consumption of opium in Chian to-day, either smoked in a pipe or eaten as a "remedy" in disguised form is probably as great as at the time of the original edict. The best that can be said is that, if the enthusiasts can show A reduction in the amount smoked, such re- duction may be measured by the amount eaten by deluded fools as. "remedies."
