SAYS PRODUCTION | ciTy ITEMS. AIDS DRUG TRAFFIC Oaly by Curtailing Output Can, It Be Stopped Berlin, Dec. 21.—The trade baneful narcotics can be controiled only through limiting the production of the raw drugs, in the opinion of Representative Stephen G. Porter, of Pittsburgh? Pa., who was the Ameri- can delegate to the league of nations norcotic . commission Jlast summer. Mr. Porter passed through Berlin re- | cently on his way . from Geneva to| Washington. All men who have stud- fed the opium question, he says, re- alize control must be at the source of production, for no nation can pro- tect itself mgainst the bringing in of drugs by smugglers, a practice that is constantly increasing. World-wide publicity, Mr. believes, the foundation for has been laaid at Geneva by the anti- opium conference, is the principal thing now necessary to force a limita- tion of the production of the opiates | which are such a menace to civiliz tion. Women are the most effective workers in the campaign, and Mr. FPorter is warm in his praise of Mrs, Hamilton Wright, of Washington, and her associates in various lands their battle against habit-forming drugs, All the European nations which have possessions in the Iar Eas! where opium Is grown face a stub- born financial problem in forwarding the anti-drug campaign, as their col- enies derive a large portion of their revenues from opium, Mr, Porter Ba Ve, Opium, cocaine and other drugs are very valuable, and there are vast profits in the trade. The habit is so widespread In the Orient that it is undermining the RBritish, French, Duteh and Portuguese colonies and working financial losses which are far greater than the income-from opium taxes, to say nothing of the moral degradation it is bri g about. Eng land and practically all the nations of Continental Europe are suffering ®0 badly from the smuggling of opium and the consequent spread of the use of drugs that there is a general awak- ening to the folly of defending the production on financial grounds, Recent investigations have disclosed that India was smuggling opium into England by means of filling up the cavities in bamboo furniture. iFeld glasses recently shipped to the United Btates from Germany in considerable quantities were filled with cocaine. Lanmpshades and nearly all sorts of merchandise have been used as a hid- Ing place for morphine, and so much | of this drug can be successfully hid- | den in the luggage of any trave that government agents have found impossible to prevemt it from being smuggled. Mr. Porter estimates that habit- forming drugs cause the United States &n annual loss of $400,000,000, MAKING PROGRESS Houss Ways and Means Committee, However, Cannot Finish Tax Bill by Time Congress Mects Again, Washington, Dee. 21.—~The house ways and means committec is making substantial progress in the considera- tion of the administrative provisions of the treasury’s tax bill, but, in the opinion of members it cannot com- pete its work on these features dur- ing the two weeks' recess of congress over the holidays, Experts are being consulted o de- termine the probable effects of the proposed chauges and to explain them from the treasury standpoint.
