o) JAPAN, INHUFE, QUITS SESSoN Retires From League Opinm' Discasslon By The Associated Press Geneva, Dec, 10.—Japan startled this forenoon's session of the second oplum conference by announ that she would take no further pal in the deliberations of the ,sub- committee which 1s endeavoring to fix the status of the central board for control of the oplum traffic. Delegate Sugimura, in a crisp statement, said the subcommittee was getting nowhere with the prob- lem and he and his delegation were convinced it was useless to proceed as it had -been doing in the face of the opposition to the Americans’ proposed system of basing allot- ments ot oplum supplies ,to the va- rious countries on eéstimates of their legitimate requirements. This op- position, he sald, came notably from Holland and France. Edwin Neville, of the United States delegation, Leon Bourgeols of France, and Dr. H. 8. Beland of Canada, urged Mr. Sugimura to re- main on the committee, but the | Japaness was adamant. “This subcommittee cannot get | anywhere without new blood,” he declared, adding: ‘We propose that Benor Bueron of Uruguay serve in Japan's place. He has been dis- tinguished through the conference by notable impartiallty.” After the other delegates had Joined in the requast that he remain, Mr. Sugimura only reiterated his do- | cision which had been reached in agreement with Mr Kaku, head of the Japanese deleagtion, and which he declared was irrevocable, The subcommittes from which the Japanese withdrew finally adopted his suggestion to invite Senor Buero to sit with it. The committee also invited ths Swiss delegate to attend the meetings and explain the Swiss viewpoint regarding the central board. Switzerland yesterday served notice that ehe would have nothing to do with such an organization and the purpese of inviting the delegate was to get the Swiss views into the minutes of tha conference, A clash between Mrs, Hamilton Wright, American delegate and H. M. Clayton, the new head of *he delegation from Indla, enlivened an- | other subcommittee session where article ons of the American yimpos- als was being discussed. Mr: Clay- ton had just finished a lengthy sur- | vey of India’s needs for opium, par- | fcularly in the treatment of cattle for | colic and other allments, when Mrs. Wright interjectad: “It has always seemed strange to me that India, of all the Oriental | eountries, should be the one needing opium so much whils all her eastarn nelghbors were endeavoring to stamp it out.” Mrs. Wright followed with refar. | ences to Indla’s infant mortality and the debasement of the population | through the use of oplum. Mr, Clay- ton asked for specific references, and Mrs. Wright replied she would bring the documents later.

New Haven, Dec. 10.—~Medical authorities at Grace hespital today pronounced the case of Ivan Benja- min, of Plainville, who has been at that institution for the last 88 hours suffering from loss of memory, one of the most unusual that has come up in local medical circles.
