Personally he wel- comed the fortune of the ballot which had given them an oppor- tunity of discussing the question, not only because he thought the disopssion itself would be of con- siderable value, but also because it would relieve the always inade- quate debate on the ladian Badget of one of the subjects which al- ways loomed very largely. China Wanted to rid herself of opium and asked for our co-operation As a irce agent she asked us to conclude a treaty, agreed to that treaty, and expressed satisfaction with it as a means of assisting her in getting rid of the opium she grew in China itself. In 1907 the Indian Government, acting though his Majesty's Government, agreed to extinguish the Indian opium trade with China in ten years on condition that in the same time China extinguished her growthof opium. The extinction of the poppy in China went on at such a rate that in 1911, at the end of a trial period, the Chinese Sir J. D. Rees asked for leave Gwernment suggested a modificato withdraw his amendment. tion of the treaty with a view to quickening this part pass policy. The treaty was secordingly mo dified. We adopted the plan of certificating the opium which was to go into China, and we agreed to abandon our treaty rights of importing opium into China in- diferiminately and to stop the im- portation into any part which might be proved to be free from opium. After this treaty the three Manchurian provinces and Eze- chuan and Shansi were closed with the assent of his Majesty's Govern- ment at the end of August, 1911, Two more provinces were closed in January, 1913, and his Majesty's Government had also agreed to investigate in three more provinces with a view to their being closed
