Whisky is manufactured on a large scalo in Canada, a British province, and much money could be made if the Canadians were allowed to sell whisky in the States where the sale is prohibited. Suppose that the Americans should protast, and that Canada, backed up by Great Britain, should attempt to justify the traffic on account of barley being raised and whisky made in Kentucky. Compare with this Article 3 of the Opium Agreement of 1911; "His Majesty's Govern meat further agres that Indian opium shall not be conveyed into any province in China which can establish by clear evidence that it has effectively suppressed the cultivation and import of native opium." Under this Agreement Great Britain has already con- sented to the prohibition of import of Indian opium into some night or nine pro vinces, covering about half the total area of China, which have been able to prove them- selves free from opium, and the whole 22 provinces could be closed in the same way if only they fulfilled the condition precedent of extinction within their borders of the native drug, and accordingly Sir HIRAM'ı attempted parallel between Chins, and the
