The facts about the profits
growing out of the opium trade
India carries on are a sufficient
explanation of the hesitancy—to
use a kindly word—of the Brit-
ish Indian office to curtail that
trade.
It explains why Britain car-
ried on two wars against China to
enforce its poppy product upon
the Orientals. And it explains
why India’s “representative” in

was enforced. Late in that j
century, in consequence of the
British East India company’s
pushing its Bengal opium into the
various ports of China, the habit
took root in all parts of the
country. The British found that
it was a lucrative trade and nev-
jer let up. The total gain from

. amount paid by China and east-
! j orn Asia for the commodity above
jits cost price between 1773 and
I i 1906—has been estimated at two
i billions one hundred millions of
dollars.
“About 1840, the Chinese em-
peror became so alarmed at the
inroads of the poison that he ap-
pointed Lin imperial commission-
er at Canton with orders to put
down the trade. His efforts
brought him into collision with
the English traders and his de-
struction of 10,000 chests of opi-
um precipitated Se first opiunt
war. It ended in England’s forc-
ing on China a humiliating trea-
ty which heavily indemnified the
traders for their losses. In 1857
came the second opium war, re-
sulting in the treaty of Tientsin,
j which bound the government of
‘China not to interfere with nor
hmit the introduction of Indian
opium into the empire.”
The convention of 1906, costing

for opium production to keep the
oDium money inside the empire,

TAX-DODGING
A discussion of tax-dodging by
Edwin Lefevre in the Saturday
Evening Post tells about the tax-
exempt bonds.
“The first thing the sur-tax
did,” he says, “was to drive those
super-capitalists who were to pay
so many millions of dollars into
Uncle Sam’s yawning pockets into
investing in tax-exempt bonds.
The rate Was not attractive to the
small investor, but it is estimated
that he amount of tax-exempt

At this writing municipal bonds

pretty fast. The interest on these

four hundred million dollars a

to estimate just how much tax the
