Cleveland, Ohio. Mrs. Hamilton Wright, American asked to serve as - visor to the opium advisory commit- tee of the council of the league of na- tions, has called attention to the fact that the council meeting in Geneva is to take action on the report of the committee. Mrs. Wright 18 carrying on the work which won for her husband, the late Dr. Hamilton Wright, an inter- national reputation. Dr. Wright rep- resented the United States at the various Hague conferences and was largely responsible for the drawing up of The Hague convention of 1912, which marked a great forward step in this troublesome problem which has disturbed the world for a’century and a half. “The league has an ideal chance to show how practical an instrument it is—for the opium question is epurely humanitarian and has nothing to do with politics” said Mrs. Wright to a Star representative. “But if the league is to assume the responsibility of this movement it must be prepared to see it through to the end, irre- spective of the material interests in- volved. Should Curb Production. “The program, so far as it goes, is practical enough, but it must go far- ther. The representative of the India office affirmed that the league had no right to go beyond the strict exeu- tion of the convention. But if the |} league’s powers are so limited as this | | it should be proclaimed at once and !some other instrument resorted to. lSlr John Jordon, former British min- the one ad —Will ¢o the Painting, Paperhang- ing or Upholsteriug in a manber that will please you. Geo. Plitt Co., Inc. i 5 '480% Open Evenings Till 9 0’Clock Very Special Offer! ister to Peking, insisted, on_the other hand, that the league had the au- thority to deal with this question at its base. That the abuse “would con- tinue 8o long as India and the opium- producing countries were allowed to cultivate the poppy beyond its me- dicinal need. This is the first point. “The second is the abolition of the opium monopolies in the far east. Iti is a false and unjustifiable princi that the welfare of a community can | be based on its moral and physical degradation. It is an untenable theory of taxation. It is not the desire to ruthlessly destroy the finan- cial foundations of the colonies of the cast. But it is essential that these | countries determine, as soon as pos- sible, upon some other substitute for raising revenue. As a matter of fact when the cultivation of the poppy is restricted to its medicinal needs, the price must automatically ascend. And ! opium can still remain an ftem of|{ revenue in the east, but based on its| legitimate need rather than on its} power of corruption. International Problem. “It can be seen that the opium question today affects not only the moral and physical well-being of the world, but {ts international relations as well. It is not necessary to point Gulbransen Trade Mark. Gulbransen Easy-to-Play Player-Piano (Used) Extra Special at $415 Terms to Suit Arthur Jordan Piano Co. G Street at Thirteenth Homer L. Kitt, Sec~Treas. out the obvious interlacing of all questions bearing directly or indirect- 1y upon the east, and the immediate reaction upon the complex world problem. Opium is one angle of ap- proach, but a vital one, and not to be underestimated. ’ “The meeting in Geneva marks the first definite step forward since the outbreak of the war. It is for this reason I view with some concern the effect upon the movement if America Gefinitely refuses to recognize its ac- ivities. To throw the full responsibil- of the problem back upon the Netherlands government is not suffi- cient. The larger issues of principle and the power of amending the con- vention may rightfully rest at The Hague. But the time has come when the practical details of this most in- tricate problem call for more than the necessarily intermittent attention of foreign offices. Nothing less will suffice, in fact, than the constant and etficient supervision of a picked com- mittee of men. The opium question has nothing whatsoeve: to do with politics, \and so far as its solution lis concerned it is immaterial whether such a committee sit at Geneva or at The Hague. The main thing is that sich a committee sit somewhere and begin its operations at once.” Mrs. Hamilton Wright is the daugh- ter of the late Senator Washburn and sister of Maj. Stanley Washburn. P — CONFERENCE ON FUEL. Propose Test to Determine if Gaso- line Is Corrosive. Specifications under which govern- ment purchases of gasoline, kerosene, fuel and lubricating oils are made will be considered at a meeting of the technical committee on standardiza- tion cf petroleum specifications to be held at the bureau of mines, July 12 at 10 o'clock. The most important change proposed is the addition of a corrosion test to the sepecifications for motor gasoline. Some of the gasoline recently pur- chased has been found to be corrosive, and a test has been proposed to insure against a_repetition of the trouble, N. A. G.
