OPIUM POLICY
OF JAPAN
Strong Indictment By U.S. Delegate
Geneva, June 1. One of the strongest indictments of the Japanese optam policy in North China ever heard in the Opium Advisory Commission, was made to-day by Mr. Stewart Ful- ler, the United States delegate. His attack was made on the heels of compliments to the Chinese Gov- ernment upon its sincere and suc- cessful efforts to stamp out the oplum habit.
He pointed out that the oplum crop had been reduced in Honan and Szechuan by 50 per cent
moreover.
Mr. Fuller declared that in the three north-eastern provinces of was once China China, or what and is now Manchukuo there had been a 17 per cent. increase of the. plum producing area under cul- vation. and an increase of 28 per cent. in the revenue realised from the culture of the oplum poppy.

The Province of Hopei, said the American delegate, had become the seat of the world's most extensive manufacturing organisation of illl- eft heroin, while conditions in Pel- ping. Tientsin and Eastern Hope! generally, were appalling beyond 'description.
"It remains to be seen whether those responsible for the ash-heaps- of Harbin, Mukden, Tongshan and Pelping in do anything about it before they are overtaken by a re- tribution which all their ill-got- ten gains cannot avert," "warned Mr. Fuller in conclusion- Reuter.

COMMITTEE EFFORTS
London; June 1. Optimism is growing in political circles here in view of the fact that no further complications have come about in the German-Span- ish situation. Hope is expressed that a scheme may be worke whereby Italy and Germany will have adequate assurances that their ships will not be molested while jengaged in non-intervention patrol duties. At the present time, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Anthony Eden, and experts on the non-intervention committee are working on three questions:
1. How to all the gaps in the coastal patrol brought about by the withdrawal of their ships by Italy and: Germany?
