New York, Feb. 15.
Terming drug addiction "the most misunderstood and mistreated disease in the annals of both medicine and crime," Dr. Arthur La Roc, president of the Ameri- can Narcotic Defense Association, recently charged that "the United States of America is now the heaviest con- sumer of dope in all the world."
In a speech before the Advertising Club of New York City, Dr. La Roo assalled current methods of curbing drug addiction by sending addicts to jail as criminals, reminding his audienco that addiction to narcotic drugs was a díscaso, not merely a habit, and the addicts did not necessarily become criminals until he was unable to obtain drugs by other means,
"We have in the problem of dope; or discase-inducing drugs, perhaps the oldest and most difficult problem of all the world's history. Certain it is that it has claimed more lives, and by a more hideous death, than all the wars since before the beginning of recorded history," he said.
Hauptmann Case Not Yet Ended

as the world's worst enemy. A hundred years ago China fought three oplum wars to keep dope out and lost them all, each with the loss of a strategic Benport, and a huge indemnity.
