province, before determining as to whether a partial or entire suppression can be carried out. The total amount produced

Ko annually exceeds 100,000 piculs, and the proposals made by Feng-

-shih relative to its suppression over a period of years were

submitted by memorialista to the Governor-General and Governors

of Kiangsu, Anhui, Shantung and Honan. With the exception of

the Governor of Shantung who feared that a total suppression

would result in illicit trafficking in opium, all three high

officials approved of this measure being adopted, and the

provinces of Yunan, Puhkien, and Hei-lung-chiang have already

reported the total prohibition of the cultivation of the poppy,

so that in six provinces of China its cultivation will be total-

-ly prohibited by the second half of this year, and the entire

production in the empire reduced by 30%. The production in

Feng-tien, Kirin, Chihli, Shantung, Klangsi, Chekiang, Hupeh,

Hunan, the New Dominion (Hsin Chiang), Kuangtung and Kuangsi is

very small and can be suppressed entirely after the second half

of next year, which will imply a further reduction of 10% in

the entire production of the empire. In Shansi a large amount

is produced, but its sale is confined to the province, so that

it will be the Governor's duty to take steps for its entire

suppression in due course. Regarding Ssuch'uan, Kueichow, Kansu,

and Shensi, most of the native opium consumed in China comes

from these four provinces, and we now propose that an annual

reduction of over 20% on the area under cultivation last year

shall be carried out, until its entire suppression has been

achieved. Success in accomplishing this result at an earlier

date and in sowing the area in question with cereals shall be

rewarded. A similar reduction of 20% must annually be effected

on the amounts of opium from these four provinces placed for

sale in the other provinces, so that in this way the reduction

in the number of smokers will be commensurate with the reduction

of the area under cultivation. Should it be found that any

province, with a view to increasing its revenue, is not making
