The British position was that, de- spite regulany issued import pa- pers, opium, as well as other narcotic dru often were diverted on the way (o the country of purchase and forwarded to other destinations, where they were used for illicit pur- poses and illicit gain, thus bringing a stain on the name of Great Britain, which permitted the export. John Campbell, representing India, took a similar stand, which caused the Japanese d © to remark sar- castically that India seemed clearly under the dominion of England. The Japanese introduced a resolution pro- viding that the importation, exporta- tion and transshipment of oplum should be authorized when accompa- nied by a certificate issued by compe- tent authorities.

Calling upon residents of the Dis- trict to enroll in the eighth annual roll call of the American Red Cross, Brig. Gen. John A. Johnson, director of the District of Columbla Chapter, today made public a statement, in which he declared that subscribers should not hesitate to become identi- fied with the Red Cross, citing the honor of membership in such a bene- ficlal order as the reason for en- rolling under its banner. “The director points out that all the women in the District should feel proud, with the men, to hecome mem- bers of the Red Cross, for these women, the general declares, know the part that the Red Cross played when their sons were at the front. Says Work Must Go On. “The work of the Red Cross must 80 on, not only for her boys who were shattered in the last war, but for the men now in the ranks. Therefore, this roll call is not a drive for money, but a roll call of memberships in an organization in which membership and service are an honor. The Roll Call week has a rightful place in the calendar of every home, every bank and business institution, and all rules | agalnst solicitation and appeals are set as:de, beginning with the cabinet down through every branch of official and private enterprise.” " Indicated.
