Reform must come from within. The League of Nations has prevented opium from India reaching China and it may possibly find means to prevent Persian and Turkish opium from reaching China. China can and will grow all the opium that she requires as long as the opium habit is to the public taste and no really strong body of public opinion is opposed to it. It is the firm conviction of the Committee that under present circumstances no reasonable measure can be devised to reduce further the con- sumption of opium in Hongkong. The Committee is however in entire accord with the principle of opium suppression, and it is its sincere hope that it will be possible to devise some practical means for the total abolition of the practices of opium smoking and opium eating both in China and throughout all parts of the world.
