OPIUM AND THE FAR EAST.
CALL FOR EFFECTIVE ACTION.
POPPY GROWING IN CHINA.
[DAITISH WIRELESS BERVIČIL]
RuGuy, August 17th. The British... Government has placed upon the agends for the forthcoming Council meeting of the League of Nations a proposal for the appointment of a League Commission to inquire into the present position regarding the use of opium and the present ineffec- tual efforts being made to prevent the smuggling of opium in the Far -East.--
The ground for the proposal is that all efforts that have so far been made as a result of the deci- sions of the International Opium Convention of 1919 and of the Oplum Conferences of 1993 and 1925 have been largely rendered of no avail, owing to the enormous amount of smuggling"
This smuggling has reached such proportions that the Governments are finding it difficult to implement their promises made at the first Opium Conference to suppress the consumption of prepared optum within a period of fifteen years.
