To the Editor of the "Nowri-CuiNa DaiLy News"
Smt,—Your comments on the statement issued by the National Anti. Opium Association in your issue of to-day are true and timely. If I ain not mistaken this Association ig a part of or connected with the N.C.C., ti-has its headquarters in its offices and I believe is largely supported by foreign money though foreigners are excluded from membership As one who for years was a mem ber of the Executive of the Inter" national " Anti-Opium Association, T would like to say that the alled difficulty in extraterritorial ity, which the present Association finds to be such a hindrance, never once came up. That old Association is now moribund, not foreign members' lost were unwilling to do all they could to help, but because the Chinese members lost interest and were un+ willing to contribute to its funds.
The recently formed National Association may do better; I hope so. But is there not amongst the legal fraternity a maxim—When on have no case slang the other side? In a moral movement such as the anti-opium question does it do any good?
Tam, ete,
