NETHERLANDS INDIA,

OFFICIAL OPIUM FARMINOJ THE SUGAR DUTY, ETC.

Statistical seturns regarding the Netherlands Indies, just made pabisc in Holland, show that one-third of the Imports lato the lalands come from the Netherlands. Singapore stands next. In fact, Singapore is an important customer of the Netherlands Indies, and their trade with Singapore comes in value to very nearly one hundred millions of guilders a year. Beyond Jovs, the free ports of Macassar and Rhio, and the export parts of Padang, Dell, and Amboys are the most frequented by shipping. In the shipping trade with foreign lands, the Dutch fag la distanced by the British Sir, and the share of the German flag continually increases.

The policy of working the oplum monoply under Government management, saexperimented with in the island of Madora, off the Jars coast, has proved such a success, that the Governor-General, who had opposed the lot, now intends to extend it to three provinces in Java. The Government has found a way of pack- which effectually baffles smugglers. Sultable ing and preparing the drug for consumption antives have been found to conduct the sales The people themselves are said to be highly taken with the change from the Farmer's oplom to the official article. The Government proposes to extend the new policy gradually and not to sitempt too much at once, so as to have a better chance to guard against smuggling. The Ides is that should farther experimenting on

Whatever may be the importance of that company it is, after all, only a private company. It exercises, Indeed, an authority which has been for a long time the occasion of the severest critici im, mot only in France, but in Germany and even in England. The Niger Company claims in those territories more or less effectively occupied by it to monopolize all the trade and to forbid all transit contrary to Articles 26, 27, and 30 of the International Act of Berlin. This attiinde bas been the occasion on our side of numeraus com- plaints. The gravest of all is that which we have to formulate as to the confiscation of the Sergent Malamine. To sum up, the question before us is that of the real beasing of the rights of the Niger Company. This polat, like the others, is matter for discussion between us and the British Government. But that Government 188, we should formally dispute the thesis cannot be surprised that, backed by the Act of maintained by the Niger Company.
