time giving due warning that all avenues to office will be

closed to them.

The various conditions prevailing throughout

the Empire lead the Board to give prominence to measures for

curtailment of cultivation in some provinces and for suppression

of moking in other while the opinion is expressed that, under

present conditions of import, prohibition of cultivation would

open a greater market to the foreign drug in those provinces

where its consumption exceeds that of native opium, and that in

provinces like Yunnan, Kueichow, Szechuan, Shensi, and Honan,

where only native opium is consumed, although reduced cultiva-

-tion will be followed by diminished consumption, immediate

and entire suppression of cultivation is impracticable owing to

the fact that the South-eastern provinces draw most of their

supplies from Yunnan and Kueichow. This, however, is followed

by the statement that in the six provinces Kiangsu, Anhui,

Honan, Yunnan, Pukien, and Hoilungchiang (in Manchuria) - total

prohibition of cultivation has been proclaimed and that the

entire production of opium in China will thus be reduced by

thirty per cent at the end of the present Chinese year (January

21st., 1909). The provinces of Pengtien and Kirin (in

Manchuria, Chihli, Shantung, Kiangsi, Chekiang, Hupei, Hunan,

Hsin Chiang (the New Dominion), Kuangtung and Kuangsi are

credited with a small production which, it is stated, can be

entirely suppressed at the end of next year, making a further

reduction of ten per cent in the total output of the Empire.

Shansi is declared to be a large producer, but as the output

is consumed within its own borders, the entire suppression is

left in the hands of the Governor who will take the necessary

measures in due course. As, according to the Board, most of the

native opium consumed in China comes from Szechuan, Kueichow,

Kansu and Sheusi, the area of poppy cultivation in, and the opium export from, these provinces will each be reduced twenty

per cent annually as compared with the acreage and export in 1907 and the penalty for excess export will deprive the pro-
