Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Opium Traffic in Its International Aspects For the coming few years the opium traffic will not come to an end, in spite of the fact that certain large opium consuming countries, such as China, have prohibited the use of the drug except for medicinal purposes. According to official reports, the government of India is contemplating an expansion in poppy cultivation, forgetting that the House of Commons has repeatedly declared the nefarious trade "morally indefensible". Turkey and Persia, both large opium producing countries, have taken no steps towards the restriction or suppression of opium. So long as these countries permit or even encourage the production of opium on a large scale and realize huge profits from it, it is necessary for other countries which have prohibited opium to take stringent measures against smuggling. The higher the profits, the greater the temptation to scramble for gains. Eventually, reckless individuals may embark upon the hazardous enterprise and cause grave international complications. There is the opium problem - a problem whose solution requires international cooperation. The purpose of this monograph is twofold: first, to prove the honesty or dishonesty, integrity or baseness of nations, and, second, to offer a solution for the present opium problem. With the first purpose in view, the author traced the events back before the Opium War and down to the present time.
