the intensiveness of the harvesting process,
Control of exports will therefore be a sine qua non.
In the case of Java such control will be easy, as cocaine leaves are always exported in large quantities, and no raw cocaine is exported from the Island. Control will be much more difficult in cases like that of Peru, in which exports take the form of raw cocaine, which has very small bulk.
Lastly, it will have to be realised that cocaine can be manufactured synthetically, independently of the coca leaf. Should industry and commerce find it to their interest to adopt this process, all measures tending to restrict the cultivation of the coca leaf will probably become useless. In this eventuality no control could be exercised over the importation of raw products, and clandestine manufacture, which is quite out of the question with Java coca, would be greatly facilitated. Control of the illicit trade would be sorely handicapped.
