that it was the Chinese craving for the drug, and not
England's desire to force it upon China, which was now
responsible for the continuance of the traffic. This
view of the question received confirmation from Mr.
Morley's recent speech in the House of Commons which
the Chinese construed as an invitation to them to
prove the sincerity of their desire for the cessation
of the Indian import of opium.
Mr. Tong, from whom I received this account of
the genesis of the present movement, could supply me
with little information as to the steps which are to
be taken to enforce the Edict, but the method of pro-
cedure, so far as it has been formulated at present,
seems roughly to contemplate a gradual reduction of
the area of cultivation of native opium pari passu
with a corresponding decrease in the import of the
foreign article. Smokers of the drug, if officials,
are to be given a term of about six months in which to
break off the habit, and the ordinary people are to
be dealt with on a time scale graduated according to
the degree in which they have become addicted to the
habit.
