SAN FRANCISCO, August 8.—The incessant warfare to control the smug- gling of narcotics into the United | States has turned to the Pacific Coast. | Harry D. Smith, who has been il\i charge of the Federal Narcotic En-| forcemment Bureau of this district for 14 years, said today a campaign of unusual proportions for this district is being waged. Smuggling attempts on the Eastern seaboard have decreased rapidly, he said, since the signing of the inter- national agreement by Eurcpean and American countries pledging control of the traffic, but there has been a conse- quent large increase in shipments over the Pacific Ocean. Agents Have Success. Within the last year success has fol- lowed the efforts of Government agents in the West. In Los Angeles the arrest and sentence of three Japanese and the ring leader smashed, Smith said, the source of supply for a considerable por- | tion of the smuggled narcotics reaching this country. In San Francisco, Juda and Isaac Ezra, formerly of Shanghai, and three others are awaiting sentence on Sep- tember 2 on their pleas cf guilty to conspiracy and smuggling charges. The Ezra ring, which Federal authorities say had fingers extending to several cities of the Orent and connections in Europe, has been credited by Federal authorities with having shipped into this country $1,500.000 in narcotics| within two years. | Last week & ship docking at a North- | | west port was found to have $10,500 in | narcotics aboard, while recently the same vessel was searched at Honolulu and $50,000 in narcotics uncovered. So the battle continues in an effort to end the illicit traffic, which finds its support in the cravings of an estimated 150,000 to 500,000 addicts in this co\.m-l | try. Federal authorities have placed the | cost to these addicts at more than| $500,000 a day. Methods of Smuggling. Smugglers, traveling usually in ocean liners, bring their product in rubber sacks strapped around waists of crew members or in other rubber sacks which are dropped overboard with floats so that contact boats can pick them up: in false bottoms of oil drums (as in the Ezra case): in cavities carved in heels of shoes; in bed posts, and even melted in wax shipments. No seizure is too small, Smith de- clared, or is any street peddler too in- significant, that narcotic agents fail to investigate to the limit, seeking always to root out the source of supply. The Ezra ring was uncovered. he said, from the investigation begun with the arrest on a San Francisco street of a man who had sold $1.50 in narcotics. | . Paraguayans Defea: Bolivians.

Porto Rico, August () —Employers of more zmnms,uog tobacco workers who have gone on strike in six island towns charged in a conference with Gov. Robert H. Gore that the walkout had been fostered by the intervention of labor inspectors in the government employ. Most of the strikers are women who are emploved as strippers. Gore, after conferring with P. Rivera Martinez, labor commissioner, said the government would maintain a neutral attitude while attempting to reach a ettlement. No ccde for the industry would be established, the Governor de- clared, as long as the strike continued.

This is no contradiction of those of- ficial statements saying Moley and Hull | are “in perfect accord”—provided® you read these statements carefully. They are quite certainly in perfect accord that Mr. Roosevelt has acted wisely in giving Moley a new job prior to Hull's Ieturn from London. The story of Moley is one of the most Interesting of these interesting days. A charter member of the “brain trust” of advisers during the Roosevelt | compaign. he had his first really big | momert when he went with the Presi- i dent-elect to the White House to discuss war debts with President Hoover. His Sole Contribution. The story told among Mr. Roosevelt's intimates is that he thought some one | else should be present and, Moley being | handy, tock him along. The story told | among Mr. Hoover's intimates is that | the professor’s principal contribution to the discussion was this question: “Can’t | the delegates to these conferences econ- omize by living two in a room at hotels instead of singly?” Be that as it may. Moley liked the experience and wanted more. Mr. Roosevelt rejected hints that he become a White House secretary. He put him just across the street in the State De- partment with the title of Assistant Secretary. Moley never really functioned as his title might indicate. Department mafl did not pass over his desk. He served, rather, as a sort of adjunct to the White House secretariat without being a part of it. Activity at Conference. Reports went around that Mr. Roose- velt decided nothing without asking Moley.

The arrangement worked without any real hitches until Moley made his dramatic dash to the London Confer- ence, where Hull was presiding over the :llohsled affairs of the American delega- n. Hull's friends and associates showed no enthusiasm for the manner of | Moley’s coming, or for the tenor of messages he sent on ahead. No one knows yet what will be done about Moley's expense bill of several hundred dollars for an airplane to drop him out of the sky on the British capital. ‘The climax arrived when Moley nego- tiated his stabilization agreement, and afterward telephoned Hull asking his approval. Hull refused. Moley went ahead anyway, but his agreement was rejected by the President. Delegates Report to Rooseveit. Other delegates, returning ahead of Hull, brought tidings of what might be expected oncé the Secretary set foot again in the State Department. They told Mr. Roosevelt, who regards Hull with affection and respect, that some- thing must be done at once.
