This Meeting Brition Women's Temperance Association, held in Carlton Hall Ferest Gate, on March 5th 1914.
while thankful that the Government have decided to sell no more opium for export to China, is convinced that, to keep China bound to treaty obligations to allow the stocks of opium in the treaty ports to go into her country is a grievous wrong which ought not to be continued; and therefore urges upon His Majesty's Government, that without delay China be formally released from such treaty obligations.

Further, this meeting being convinced that the use of opium for other than medical purposes, whether in India, our Crown Colonies or elsewhere, is injurious and leads to much misery and crime, urges upon His Majesty's Government, that the growth, manufacture, and sale of the drug in India for other than medical purposes be speedily brought to an end.
