About this book

Ellen N. La Motte reports on government-run sale of a habit-forming product under the British flag and elsewhere. The chapters go place by place: Singapore, Siam, Hongkong, Sarawak, Shanghai, India, Turkey and Persia, Mauritius, British North Borneo and British Guiana, with another on the trade's history in China.

Her introduction says her interest began in 1916, on a voyage to the Far East, when a young Indian traveller spoke angrily about his country's government trade. The book was published in New York in January 1920; the author had also written Backwash of War and Peking Dust.
