The Hague Convention was revealed as no more than a string of aspirations. Even though India is willing to fight the drug prodution and exportation of the illegal opium. Besides all of the enconomic and social factors, Indian opium could produce admirable morphine and its decided that we are going to produce much of it to the consumption of the great British Empire and its colonies. As we all know, it will be an utopic way of thinking to just abolish opium. We know thatīs not what the League is proposing but we are afraid that this will be the solution.

That happend because the League can not have the pretention of creating restraining rules to countries and wait to see how the countries will handle those rules, some nations, for example, had pledged themselves to control the output of raw and prepared opium; but they had been careful not to say how, or when, mostly because they donīt have the interest of doing such thing.
