Although protests are said to have been made in connection with this and other drug trafficking crimes committed con- stantly by Japanese nationals in China, no replies have been forthcoming from Japanese authorities, Secretary Huang asserts in his memorandum. Huang's report constitutes part of a mass of evidence submitted to the League by Chinese endeavoring to show various causes for the origin of the anti-Japanese movement in China and its development into the anti-Japanese boycott, ~which, according to the Japannese government, was the main gluse h:.{ the disastrous warfare at (Copyright, 1932.) Epecial Dispatch to The Star. SHANGHAI, Garfleld Huang, gen- eral secretary of the National Anti- Opium _ Association of China, has placed before the League of Nations a memorandum describing in detail nu- merous cases of opium smug‘{:}ng and illicit traffic in narcotics in which sen- sational charges are leveled a; 8t Japanese merchants and high of s in North China. Altogether the report lists 15 out- standing cases, with names of alleged offenders, their companies, details of the manner in which activities were or are carried on, and the protection af- forded them by extraterritoriality rights, which exempt them from Chinese pros- ecution. Japanese nationals are ac- cused of taking part in narcotics traffic in Shanghai, Tientsin, Dairen, Shen- yang, Pieping, Tsingtao, Tsinan, Hang- show, Hankow, Foochow, Amoy and many smaller Chinese business centers. Charges include operation of opium dens, sale of cocaine, morphine and heroin, and transportation of all these. The report to the League states that in Tsinan more than 100 Japanese com- mercial houses in that ecity sell nar- cotics. Large quantities of these drugs have been seized, and a request made to the Japanese authorities that the premises be closed. It is declared that no response ever was received from the Japanese and that the shops still operate. Chlaim to Be Doctors. Japanese soldiers garrisoned at Shanhailkuan, it is charged, demanded the release of drug traffickers arrested by the Chinese authorities, who ac- cused them of acting as agents for Japanese smugglers. The alleged of- fenders are said to have disguised their Eraf&ssfiun by claiming to be doctors. ventually, when Japanese military au- thoritles insisted, these employes of Japanese firms had to be released, it is asserted. Huang. over his own signature, states that a Japanese captain was found to possess heroin when searched by Chi- nese pelice. It is alleged that he and his companions were engaged in dis- tributing drugs throug! the interior AnActive Mind Depends on what you read.
