The Opium Committee has noted, regretfully, the scale on which the illicit traffic continues, but has done nothing fundamental--no blow has ever been struck at the source. The committee has constantly spoken of the necessity for "control," but its suggestions have always been vague. Now they were suddenly offered a scheme for absolute and complete control, worked out pains takingly to the most minute detail. For example, the internal trade must be controlled by certificates, issued each time a purchase is made from a factory or from dealer to dealer.
