Casual opium smokers seem find little difficulty in giving up the practice and some of those more heavily addicted are seeking this department's assistance to rid themselves of the habit by means of gradual reduction in the supply.

A

Satisfactory Feature

very satisfactory feature says the report, is that the decline in sales of Government chandu has not apparently been offset by an increase in the quantity of illicit opiuma. All indications "are that the quantities of contraband opium in the Colony at the close of the year were less than at any period for which records are available.

On December 31, 1935, there were 1,270 Straits-born registered smokers, practically all of long sa. standing.

The census of 1931 shows there were 249,495 Straits- born Chinese in the Straits Settle- 30 ments. These figures in themselves

1.

are regarded as almost a complete Janswer to those who believe that the Chinese and opium arc in- separable.

Over 90 per cent of the regis tered consumers are China-born. Among alien Chinese the average addiction is (high, the majority falling into the
