Main text: The opium business must not coexist with the National Goverment empowered by the people. The popular will of Chinese people is against opium. Should there be anyone who contends for legalization of opium retail or who submits to the evil pro-Opium organizations, he or she will be the enemy of the people’s will. The declaration of war against opium is nonnegotiable. Should the government, for the interest of itself, for a prolonged or temporary moment cease and neglect the war, it is committing treason. In order to prohibit opium, the National Government must adopt a plan that the entire nation should abide by. But before the warlords are annihilated and the government by the people can unify China, anti-drug groups should make efforts ceaselessly, and must not give up on the determination to fight with perseverance and a nonnegotiable spirit. Always be determined to implement the policy without any thought of submission.
