Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Protection of Native Races Against Intoxicants and Opium When Japan has delivered China from the paw of the bear, we may expect her to deliver China from the more deadly paw of the lion that is. from British opium, forced on China by the wickedest of wars, and continued by the wickedest of treaties, against the protest of the best citizens of the British Empire. This forced opium traffic has done China more harm than Russia´s land hunger. Shortly before Japan went to war with Russia, the Japanese premier, through the Japanese Legation at Washington, requested the International Reform Bureau to send him all literature bearing on its crusade against the sale of intoxicants and opium to native races. And statesman missionaries, at the Bureau´s prompting, had favorable interviews with the member of the Japanese cabinet to whose department this matter naturally belonged. War broke off these negotiations, but when Japan had concluded, with greatly increases prestige, a war whose victories were partly due to her own successful prohibition of opium sales except for well-guarded medical prescriptions, and partly due to the kindred prohibition of tobacco for all persons under twenty years, and partly due to her people´s general abstinence from the use of intoxicants, there is little doubt she will seize the opportunity, when all international questions about China are reopened in a conference of nations, to press her friend, Great Britain, to withdraw her most dishonorable treaty, by which China has been hindered not only from prohibiting, but so late as 1904, even from restricting the opium traffic, which to China has proved worse than war, pestilence and famine. (See pp. 105-135.} Secretary Hay, the Golden Rule diplomatist, unexcelled, perhaps unequalled in international influence, may be expected to second the proposal in the name of the American people, whose missionary societies of all denominations (see pp. 225-6) have asked him to present the same proposal to the British Government.
