TRAFFIC IN DRUGS
ONLY WAY OF CONTROL
LEAGUE 'COMMISSION'S IDEA
Australian I'resa. Association.
GENEVA, 2Gl;h January. The British delegate, Sir Malcolm Delcvingnc, at the meeting, of the League Opium Commission, drew attention to the fact that a Dutch factory in 1937 imported illicitly nearly two tons of heroin and fifteen rbundrodweight of morphine, as well as other drugs sent to it from all parts of the world. The heroin would have been sufficient to satisfy Britain's needs for twelve years.
The Commission came to the conclusion that the only way to control the traffic in harmful drugs is to find a means of limiting production, and decided to ask the Council to devise a plan.
