NARCOTIC CONTROL · MEASURES
of
Geneva, March 6.- New synthetle drugs are to
control by be classifled for international
committee specialists which met here for sorship of the the first time under the span.
World Health Organisation.
Many new drugs have been discovered in recent years by chemical processes, to replace na tural drugs in short supply.
Many of these drugs are con- sidered even more habit-forming and dangerous to human health than opium, but, until recently, only the traditional narcotics have been subject to international control.
As a result, there has been no check on world trade in the now narcotics or on the e made of them in various coun- trion.
The committee of specialists is to draw up a schedule of potenti- ally habit-forming synthetic drugs, which will later form the basis for a new world convention on the control of, narcoties.-As- sociated Press.
