In order to ensure the still speedier sup-
-pression of the practice, poppy cultivation should be prohibit-
-od entirely within a period to be fixed, and proclamations should be issued by the provincial authorities threatening
members of the official classes persisting in the habit with
loss of their rank, and the rest of the population with enrol- -ment on a list of opium snokers giving their names, ages, and
places of residence which should be published broadcast. All
honours should be closed to them, and they should he treated as
pariahs, so that a stimulus for the abandonment of the practice
would thus be supplied by a man's natural ambition. This would
show that the Government's prohibition of the practice is not
due to a mercenary motive, and such a course would inspire
respect abroad and render a further reduction of foreign importa
of opium practicable.
Moreover, conditions vary in different
parts of China. In the North and West the suppression of poppy
cultivation is the most urgent step; in the South and East what
is requisite is the suppression of opium smoking. It is in the
maritime and riverine provinces of Kuangtung, Fuhkien, Kiangsu
and Chekiang that foreign opium has a larger sale than the
native drug, so that the prohibition of poppy cultivation in
China would enable the foreigners to find a greater market for
the sale of imported optu, so long as the yearly reduction was
no greater than at present. Hence prohibition of smoking is more
pressing than stopping cultivation. In Yunnan, Kueichow, Sauch- -'uan, Shensi, Shansi, and Honan the inhabitants smoke only
native opium, so that the reduction of cultivation implies a
similar reduction of opium smokers. But as some equilibrium
must be maintained between supply and demand and as most of the
native opium consumed in the South-East provinces comes from Yunan and Kueichow the immediate suppression in its entirety of the cultivation of the poppy in these provinces is imprac- -ticable. Local conditions will have to be considered in
conjunction with the amount of area under cultivation in each
province
