suppression of the manufacture, distribution, and use of

prepared opium, with due regard to the varying circumstances

of each country concerned.

B.

It is agreed that those countries represented in the

Conference which may not be prepared to prohibit the ex-

portation of prepared opium, should do so as soon as possible,

and in the meantime should restrict the number of places

through which prepared opium may be exported.
