UNGLE.5AM LAGGING Behind ' Other Nations In Res _, $triction of Opium. id IS#IN ANOMALOUS POSITION Itnitlated \Movement for Control of the Traffic and Has Neglected to Adoptithe Necessary Remedial Measures—Laws Urged i to Be Passed. ’ ' By GEORGE CLINTON. ‘Washington.—Although this country Initiated the international movement for the control of the traffic in opium, the United States is today the one na-~ tion whichihas not been vitally affect- od by the movement. For, with the single exception of the act of 1909, which by no means strikes at the heart of the problem, congress so far has failed to consider the necessary remedial measures, and today, in the ‘words of' Hamilton Wright, member of the American delegation to the Inter- national Opium Conferencé, “the Unit- ed States is in the position, after hav- of- twelve.powers, of being far behind in the movwement.” It is a clear case, say those 'who are urging the suppres- elon' of the oplum trade, ot neglect at home,and charity sbroad. In his;message to congress the oth- er day regarding the opium traffic, President Taft lald stress upon this “legislative inaction” when he said: “I have several times called the at- tention :of congress to the necessity for thalpassage of the proposed meas- ures, and I now endorse the view of the secretary of state that congress should promptly pass these' measures, more especially because tlds govern- ment took the initiative and has been generously supported by twelve other governments In its effort) to mitigate, if not entirely suppress, the world's opium evil.” Passed Law to Save Our Face. The one antiopium law which is now on the federal statute books is the so-called “oplum-exclusion act” of 1908, whose purpose it is to prevent the importatton into the United States of the vicious form of opfum used for || smoking. This law was not passed, it 18 curfous to rote, until after the as- sembling of the International Oplum Conferenice, when it was discovered that ever\since 1860 this kind of oplum had been' legally impomed fnto the United States and that it had ylelded in annualirevenues the enormous sum of $27,0001000. The promptness with which comgress repealed that privi- lege was due, says Oommissioner Wright to “the, fact that “it would be quite impossible for the American commissionersito appearat the Shang- hai conference \untfl the' federal gov- ernment had taken: some{steps toward a housecleaning.” Although several of the individual states during the last few (years have revised and stremgthened Intrastate legislation almed fto confine narcotics to legitimate usesyyet the federal gov- ernment has,donefnothing. There have been urged ‘upon, congress, however, three bills, eachjof which strikes at some important gphue of the opium traffic and all ofwhich have the gen- eral approval of {the pharmacy boards of the differentfistates of the Union which are charged with the enforce ment, under‘the pdiice power of the umnl.ufd:bmte-mfurthofln lation of /the sale of narcotics. Three Bllls Urged. The first of these bills calls for an amendment to the act of 1890, regu- lating the manufacture of smoking opium within the United States; the second imposes a tax upon and regu- lates the production, manufacture, and distribution of varlous habit forming drugs; and the third bill aims to regu- late the practice of pharmacy and the sale of polgons In the consular dis tricts of the United es in China. The opinfon is expressed:in Washing- ton that the signing of the interna- tional opfum convention on January 23 last at The Hague wfill stimulate congresss into activity, for by the terms of the treaty entered into at that time by twelve world powers, it 18 ordered that the laws isuggested in the convention shall be proposed by the several governmentssto their par- llaments or legislative bodies within Mr.” Taft, therefore, In sending his message to congress on May 81, was ahead of time by about seven ‘weeks, so that, || technically at least, this country has kept to the agreement, The problems which arise in con- nection with the question of suppress- ing or controlling the oplum trafc of the world are many and serfous. The underlying principle upon which the convention and the legislation which will probably follow its ratification sre based .is, briefly, that oplum, mor- phine and cocalne, and their respec- tive salts, must be sold under the most severe restrictions, and, further- more, that successfully to. im sueh restrictions all the natfons atp:;: world mul act. mseth ot i | stem!” What ‘Happens, Which' houses To tackle a telephoned house means jail--- Order one today and get your name in our fl.. crooning, soothing note, hushing the is shipping his |young chickens to sleep. because Are you protected ? e i s P ‘Three Songs of the Hen. ments; and the lullaby song, a low, Continental Europe and Texas.
