1920. This work reveals the opium trade, how it came to be and how
the author proposed to stop it. Opium is not profitable in its
legitimate use. It is only profitable because of the demands of
addicts, men and women deliberately debauched, either through the
legalized machinery of colonial governments, or through the illegal
activities of smugglers. A moral sentiment that will balk at this
immense overproduction, the sole object of which is to create drug
victims, is the only weapon to fight it. In giving this book to the
public, the author was calling upon that moral sentiment.
