Of course. we know that this is Japanese propaganda to offset our facts about the diabolical methods used by the Japanese in poisoning and weakening the Chinese with opium and softening them up for conquest. The twofaced Japanese state that they had already suppressed smoking opium in certain territories. Like the twofaced god Janus they say that the tax on smoking opium in Burma had been considerably reduced so that the coolie would not have to spend all of his money for smoking opium. At conferences and meetings of the Opium Advisory Committee of the League of Nations. the British Government has maintained the position that if effective measures are taken by China to suppress the growth of the opium poppy and have reached such a stage as to remove the danger of opium smuggling from China into British territories. such as Hong Kong and Burma. they would initiate the necessary measures to enable the complete prohibition of opium. The French Government has also stated that it would undertake to abolish completely the use of prepared opium following the British Governmentt proposal.
