Briâ€" tain’s interest in this matter was the result of her position in India. Opium is largely grown in India, and During the last century Britain twice went to war with China in or- der to compel that country to legal- the Government of that country de- rives a large portion of its revenue from this source. Over £20,000,000 was collected in revenue in India in the last four years from opium. “There are," says an English pub.- lication, “few pages in history more dishonoring than those which record the shameful tale of Gr9at Britain‘s determination to force upon China a besotting drug in the interests of In- dia’s revenue, and against the impas- sioned protest of the Chinese Govâ€" ernment and people. By smuggling and force,” it is added. “we have fastened the vice upon millions of Chinese who might, and probably would. have escaped it. Having tak- en up a morally indefensible position and maintained it by sheer brutality and conscienceless force, we cannot evade the responsibility for much of the appalling misery which opium- smoking has inflicted. Nothing,” it is further said, “has more prejudiced China against the policies, ethics and civilizatioa of the West than the methods employed by Great Britain to replenish the Indian treasury from the degradation of the Chinese mass- ’9 CS. In 1906, as a result of continued protests from China, Great Britain entered into an agreement with that country, under which Britain agreed to limit the export of opium from India to China, provided the Chinese Government would restrict the proâ€" duction of opium in China itself at the same time. the intention of the agreement being that in the course of a few years the whole traffic would] be wiped out. The Chinese Govern- ment has loyally endeavored to live up to this agreement. As a means to this end, the new Government of; China has dismal-flied opium smok- ers from voting. Still more drastic measures have been taken. In one Chinese city, in December, thirteen dealers were forced to march through the streets clothed in red and green coats, on the front and back of which were printed the words “Opium Criminals." 'In two cities the death penalty even Was imposed for second convictions for the use of the drug, a woman being one of those pnt to death for this ofience. DUNSFORD. (Special to the Post.) A party was given by Mr. and Mrs. John Bell on Wednesday evening last. Despite the inclement weather 93 at- tended.

The members of the Presbyterian Church held their annual concert in the old church hall on Friday eve-3 ning last. the programme taking the iform of a Comedy Sketch entitled “what next”.

We comâ€" mend the church members on their enterprise in securing this amusing play for Dunsford. It is with deepest regret we chron- icle the death of Mrs. Smith nee Miss Ruby Thurston, at Moosejaw on Sat- urday Feb 8th and beg to send our sincere condolences to the bereaved parents and family.

One noted two pornts about the way that people took the fact that Parliament was to vote on Women’s Suffrage on Friday, January 25. One is that, like it or not, they did not make little of it. The whole press seemed to treat it as the public event of the week, though the Church in Wales is being further disestab- lished daily and Mr. Law was to make or mar a. party on Friday it- self. Even those papers which do not care a straw who votes, or what is voted for, bore witness to the ad- vance of the sufirage movement by writing up Friday 5 decision as the week‘s tit-bit of public excitement.
