The present alivation is for the G verament a very difficult one, as it was hea on the previous occasion, wher, however, the decisive step of placing an officer in charge as Receiver of Opium Revenues had not bego taken.

The whole incident is one that serves to precipitate the consideration of that recommendation of the Straits Ogium Commission which, while' it does not find proved that the evils from the usa ofiths, opium have increased during the past decade," "does state that the members of the Commission consider that the circum stancez surrounding the use of opium Justify the Government in maintaining a closer and stricter control, over it," and they, therefore "recommend that the present system of farm ing the opium revenue be abolished and that's Government monopoly of the preparation and distribution of chandy be substituted.”.
