THE OPIUM CONFERENCE.
Geneva, Novambor 15,
The plenary sitting of the Oplum Conference discussed ther Anglo-French draft, agrestaonts, but made small progress owing to many irrelevant speechos. The dobate was occasionally ludicrous, The Japanese delegate, who was responsible for many questions and observations, naked why Europeans and women were specially men- tloned in the agreements as forbidden to enter public opium dens Ho objected to discrimination between the sexes. Both words were thereupon eliminated from draft. Mr. Alfred Sze, (China), gladly noted the absence of discrimination between Europeans and Asiatica, and declared that China would do everything to enlighten the people on the harmful effects of oplum.
The British and French delegates declared that women should not be allowed to enter deus.
The British and French delegations are meeling early to-day for the purpose of ateiving at, uniformity in the texts dealing with questions of Government monopoly in opium traffic and, means of. combating smuggling, which will constitute the crux of the drafí agreement. Other points will be casier' of adjustment,

Geneva, November 18,
י.
Little progress was registered at to-day's sittings at the Oplum Conference. Judging from the present position of affairs it looks as the Conference will prove abortive, though the debates will ba continued on Sunday. The Conforence has now lasted a fortnight and practical results are very meagre. At this mornings plohary sitting Mr. Sze lengthily expounded the views of the National Anti- Oplum Association of China, and urged registration, of inveterate smokers and restoration of the 1917 situation in China.
No.agreement was reached as regards Article 8' of the British draft convention dealing with measures against opium transactions, The Article was referred 'to the drafting Committee. The question of registration of smokers and rationing of oplum was lengthily dis- cussed, upon which the British delegate submitted a proposal recom- mending the adoption of measures therefor as the most efficacious means of suppressing the use of prepared opium except absolute prohi- bition.
The Japanese delegute eubmitted A more precise resolution, which it was intended should be embodied in the agreement.
Mr. Sze regretted the weakening of the British position. and warmly appealed to Sir Malcolm Delevingne to reconsider his attitude and revert to the original proposal of May, 1923, in the interest of bumanity.
As no agreement regarding wording had been reached at the meeting it was arranged between the Chairman and the British and French delegates to agree to terms at the afternoon's discussion.
The liveliest subject of discussion was the Japanese proposal regarding the export, import and transhipment of opium with certain exceptions, which was regarded by Sir Malcolm Delevingne as an attack on the British Government and an attempt to cause the Bri tish to relax measures of supervision over certain shipments. Sir M. Delevingne in a forcible and measured speech strongly protested, and added that the matter was one for discussion between the Bri- tish and Japanese Governments. He regretted that the Japanese delegate had raised the subject,
Mr. Sugimura, replying, said he had spoken his last word, from which it was evident the Conference has entered a crisis, the outcome of which will probably he known on Sunday.-Reuter.
FRENCH POLITICS.
Paris. November 15.
M. Millerand, in a speech explaining his political programme, opined that the work begun at Geneva should be continued, though the only guarantee of the Disarmament Protocol lay in its appeal to the good faith of each nation. He thought it desirable that Germany should be admitted to the Lengue, but feared she might take advantage of admission to demand a revision of the treaties, to which France would never agree. He regarded the Anglo-Franco-Belgian Entente as one additional guarantee of peace, but insufficient to enable France to reduce pence time armaments until she had obtained more effective safeguards. The former President condemned the Government's.
British, netion in recognising the Soviet, which was unnecessary. Belgian and Italian efforts to establish business with Russia had all failed. He also condemned the proposed suppression of the Embassy
at the Vatican,--Router.
