There can be not the least doubt that Chinds production of opium

is not one tenth of what it was before represslun of cultivation

started. Indian production of "provision" opium for China

defined in the 1907 "statement Exhibiting the

erial Pregress of India "for 1905-1906 as 51,770 chests of pro-

vision opium for the Chinese market had, it is true, been re-

duced to 15,000 and 14,000 and 7,000 chests in 1910-1913 but

in the succeeding years it was stationary at the increased figure of about 12,000 chests although import into China was nominally

being reduced by one tenth annually.

The arguments of the Secretary of. State for India admit specifically that the consumption of opium in India has remained practically constant and that the sale of opium to Eastern coun- tries is limited to "13.200 chests a year as compared to "some thing over 16,000 cheats a year prior to the cessation of the

China trade”

a

Has the Indian Government taken effective measures under the opium Convention of 1911 "to prevent the export of raw opium to ec countries which shall have prohibited its entry."

e..China?

No argument brought forward by the Secretary of State for India

decreases the value of the following facts:-

1.

The British Government prevents the use; sale, of opium and other narcotics in Great Britain and through the Indian Government encourages production, use and sale

in India.

2. By its encouragement of production and sale in India the Indian Government causes deep injury to British prestige

in the East and provides a means for the ruin of count- less Europeans and Asiatics in Hongkong, Shanghai, Macac Cochin-China, and numerous other parts of the far East.

Note. This is an inexactitude. Indian Provision! or export opium amounted to 7,12,10,12, 12 thousand chests of opium from 1912-1917 in the Indian Pecratary's figures
