The World
Whirls On
By JIM WOOLDRIDGE

China's Opium
The ancient nation of China discovered the process of taking opium
from poppies hundreds of years before the beginning of the Christian
era. It was nearly that long ago
that they witnessed the results of
addicting this deadly drug.
Ever
since the Manchu kings emphatically forbid its use. The Chinese
have even fought wars over this
narcotic.

Opium Wars.

In 1840. they had a struggle with
Oreat Britain about the question
of importing opium. Britain won,
but the Chinese retaliated by refusing to permit the sale of the
drug after it had been imported.
Things went on fairly well for about
15 years, despite the fact that the

English

considered
themselves
cheated. They were determined to
punish the Chinese for robbing
them of a good market.
Britain started a second opijm
war in 1855. Someone had found
that poppies would grow in abundance in India. By raising huge
crops of these poppies, making them
into opium, and selling it to the
Chinese, the English could grow
rich almost overnight if only they
could open up Cnina as the market. To persuade the Chinese to do
this, they waged Opium War II.
And this time they made the results sure by forcing a special treaty
from the Manchu ruler, guaranteeing free traffic in the opium

trade.

Still, the Chinese government
persisted in its efforts to stamp
out this evil which paralized men's
minds. Finally,- - by granting precious trade concessions to the British government, they were able to
obtain an agreement whereby the
importation would be graaually shut
off. until after 10 years there would
be no more opium. And so it was.
Opium Trade Again
But now opium is again being
sold in China. Not by the English
but by the Japanese. Using a very
clever arrangement, the Japs sell

the

narcotic to the

drug-lovi-

Chinese and weaken their fighting
strength. The money which theyl
obtain, they use to equip their own
army. A prominent British statesman observed that "pestilence nd
war naturally go together, but the
Japs are the only ones who know
how to make pestilence pay for
war."
Nippon's army chanced upon this
scheme in their first Chinese war
in Manchuria. The officers noticed
that the Chinese regiment which
had been smoking smuggled opium
to bloster their courage were highly
nervous, easily frightened. Buying
quantities of the drug, the Japs
sent secret agents disguised as
merchants into the Chinese ranks
to peddle harmless looking
ettes. They were told to give particular attention to selling to the
enemy leaders. The dope soon began to sap the strength of the
Chinese. A Japanese attack followed with great success. More dope
was sold, more money was made,
more Chinese were killed.

Kentucky basketball team last Sunday night in Knoxville, it was announced
Wednesday
by Coach
Adoph Rupp.
Since captain-eleJim Goodman was declared ineligible because
of scholastic indigestion prior to
the opening of the season, Kentucky has been without a cage
leader. To fill the vacancy. Coach
Rupp had appointed a team captain
from game to game.
While on last week's Southern
tour, a meeting of squad members
was held Sunday night in a Knoxville hotel and Rouse was voted into the captain position. The election of Rouse, who will make his
final appearance before Kentucky
customers tomorrow night in Alumni gym against Vanderbilt, marked
the third time in the past five years
that a guard has captained the
Cats, defending titllsts of the Southeastern conference.
Rouse's election concludes a true
"Cinderella" basketball story. As a
freshman Rouse, who stands 6 feet
2 inches tall, was not considered a
regular although he did earn a
Kitten numeral. However, in his
first varsity season he earned a
regular Job which he has retained
ever since. Last year he was voted
to a second team post on the
team and this season is
leading the Kentucky team in scoring with 152 points.
