SATURDAY, FEBRUARY
AMERICA WORLD'S
GREATEST DRUG
MARKET - Doctor
New York, Feb, 16.
Terming drug addiction "the most misunderstood and mistreated disease in the annals of both medicine and crime," Dr. Arthur La Roe, 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 Now York City, Dr. La Roe assailed current methods of curbing drug addiction by sending addicts to fall as criminals, reminding his audience that addiction to narcotic drugs was a disease, 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 disease-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.
