MR. MORLEY AND THE OPIUM ZRACE.
CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE.
..
The following correspondence has passed be tween the Honorary Secretary of the Society for the Suppression of the Opium Trade and the Secretary of State for India:
Bridge House, Queen Victoria Strobl, F. C
3rd September, 1906, To the Right Hon. John Marley, M. P., Se cretary of State for India.
Sir, Herewith I forward a copy of the debate on the Oplum question which took place in the House of Commons on the goth May last, pub-' lished by this Society, with notes intended to corect certain inaccuracies on the part of the various speakers
The text is that of the official report, with, "one or two slight corrections. At p. it I have
restored your own nervous phrase—"ao vast,n, complex as the Indian Empire," which I noted down at the time, in place of the weaker one substituted by the reporters,
1 venture to call your attention to the moter appended to your own speech, dealing wilb some points as to which it seems, to me that the information supplied to, you has been in- accurate or misleading. Upon the question of the Malwa Opium Trade, I would refer you to the admirable "Miante of Dissent," presented by Mr. H. J. Wilson, M. P, as one of the mem bers of the Royal Commission no Opium. His conclusions on this subject are quoted in tha note at p. 12. The evidence and arguments on which those conclusions are based will be found in paragraphs 42 10 47 of the Minute, pages 19 10 21 of the reprint published by the Society, of which I enclose a copy.
Whilst Aati-Opiumists do not desire any harth or summary dealing with the reasonable claims of the Native States, and have repeated- ty urged that the Indian Government should first deal with the production of Opium in its own territory and the preparation of the drug in its own factores, they cannot admit that the Native · States have any right to use British territory for
a traffic which the Hause of Commons har un- animously declared to be "morally indafen. sible."
Permit me to add a few words on another portion of your speech, which struck me some- what painfully but which did'not' come within the limits above laid down for notes on the debate. refer to the passage in which, after. mentipping the proposal of "a subsidy" ́gift or loan" from this county, to make up the loss to the Indian revenue from suppressing the Opium
rade you suggested that if the Chancellor of The Exchequer wern atted for £3,000,000, that would be worth-discussing, but you did not think the discussion would last long." I could not but regret that you should treat this serious aspect of the question in a way which seemed to suggest that, in your opinion, the British people have seriously degenerated since the time when they cheerfully paid twenty millions sterling to wipe out the disgrace of slavery in their West Indian possessions, though the wealth of this country has vastly increased since thes. it will surely not be deemed by * Secretary of State for India, and that Secretary yourself, to be a sufficient answer to this parallel, that in the earlier case it was needfat to propitiate the powerful Parliamentary in. terest of the West Indian proprietors, whilst in the present instance the only persons affected
To the voteless millions of India.
While I
a persuaded that retrenchment, especially in military expenditure, should be mainly looked to for supplying the deficiency, I am anxious that the Indian people themselves should share largely in the benefits of such retrenchment In common, I believe, with almost all the most eamest opponents of the Opium Trade, I should regard it as mean and unworthy on the part of our country to insist that India `give up, the Opium revenue, whilst declining ourselver to contribute any part of the loss to be sustained, We are certainly, as a nation, rich enough, and hope that we are generous enough, ta bá able to help our great dependency, a large pro portion of whose_population is exceedingly poor, in accomplishing this great act of justice. towards China. I cannot but believe that this would be the sentiment of the House of Com, mons, which has so emphatically endorsed the Government's decision to put an end to the Opium Trade with China,
Here I come to a point at which I am glad Jo be able to exchange criticism, frank but friendly, for hearty congratulation. There was much in your speech to which I listened with the greatest pleasure and appreciation, This especially applies to the generous nad noble asurance whics, you gave to the Chiness Government og behalf of the jodian and Home Government, of their readiness in accept any bona fide proposal from Ching for a mutual arrangement to put an end to the Opium cerse, which has so long afficted that country, and for which the British people have so large & share of responsibility. I know by private correspondence received from China,, ** well- as through the Press, shies your offor has alroydy Breatly cheered and helped those la thot country, natives and foreigners, who he de

Itrustshatitwill Dot be long before a satisfactory arrangement is arrived at hetween the British and kinasa Governments which will for ever put an and.. to all suspicion of pressure by this country, oupon China to admit Opium, and will pare the way for her speedy "deliverance from this cut-Yours, with great respect,
