imitate them, it is obvious that, as the returns for the last
year indicate, a reduction of 20
30%, a few years more will
witness the complete eradication of the evil. Were an official
opium monopoly to be started, a definite amount of opium would
require to be fixed upon for purchase on the basis of that fixed
upon in regard to foreign opium, and what use could be made of ~
the amount of opium annually left over? It would be utterly
useless long before the date assigned for its final suppression,
and a possible result might be that the foreigners would compel
us to purchase up the whole ten years' supply of the drug.
(3).
The third reason against it is as follows:-
The establishment of an official bureau
would necessitate a most careful system of inspection. An
enormous expense was incurred in Formosa by Japan in regulating
her system of an official monopoly and China's police system is
but newly organised and as yet incomplete for carrying out such
a system. Besides, wealthy opium smokers provided themselves with
sufficient supplies of the drug to satisfy their future needs
when the order for its prohibition was first issued. The
establishment of an official monopoly would result in causing
embarrassment to the poorer classes, while the rich would remain
unmolested. A system of rigid inspection would imply domiciliary
visits at any hour to all houses where opium smoking was
suspected, and this would result in abuses and oppression.
In order to rid our people of this evil
without enforcing any oppressive measures, the best course is to adopt an arrangement indirectly based on the principle of
official sales, as proposed by the Department of Governmental
Affairs; viz.:- that all establishments selling opium and all opium smokers shall be supplied with permits, omission to secure such being punishable by a heavy fine and the scale of fees for the same being raised in amount on the basis of the proposals drawn up by present memorialists and the Ministry of the
Interior.
