OPIUM SMOKING IN FAR EAST
LEAGUE COMMISSION
Arising out of the Geneva Opium conferences of 1924-25, a commission has been set
up by the League of Nations to inquire into opium ameking in the Far East, The contributions of the French, British, and Netherlands Governments to the expenses of the in- quiry have been increased, and the League's Council now regards the fir ancial position as sufficiently assured. M. Ekstrand, the Swedish Minister at Buenos Aires, has been appointed chairman of the commission, and he his as his colleagues M. Max Leo Gerard, honorary secretary to the King of the Belgians, and Dr. Jean Havlasa, the Czecho-Slovakian Minister at Rio de Janeire.

PORK IN WINTER
FLUCTUATIONS IN CATTLE AND SWINE
PROBABLE CAUSE
}
Apropos questions asked by the Hon Mr. J. P. Brara relative to the decreased number of cattle and swine imported into the Colony, the President of the Sanitary Board, at the meeting, yesterday said that' the. Colonial Veterinary Surgeon had reported that the difference in the figures were normal fluctuations and he did not consider it likely that the water shortage had any effect on the cattle and awine return figures.
Mr. Braga said that the fluctua- tion showed a difference of 38 per cent, from last year's figures,
The President said that probably it was due to the extra comsumption of pork during. Chinese New Year. "Everybody eats
more pork in winter. I eat more pork then my- self." he declared. He promised! however to get further particulars for Mr. Braga,
The Convention of 1912 It will be remembered that The of 1912 Hague Opium Convention pledged the contracting Powers to bring about the gradual and effective suppression of the manufacture of smoking or prepared opium, and to pro- hibit its import and export either im mediately or as soon as possible. The Geneva conference relaxed these quirements to the extent of postponing the suppression of smoking opium until not more than Afteen years from a date when the commission, now ap- pointed, shall have decided that the export of the drug from producing
no longer constituted countries obstacle to the reduction of opium
consuming smoking in-
countries.. China was no party to this engage- ment, although exports, whether licit or ilicit, from that country, were regarded death

MOTOR FATALITY
FURTHER EVIDENCE AT INQUEST IN KOWLOON
Yesterday afternoon Mr T. S.
heard Whyte Smith
further evidence in the case in which the Chinese driver of motor lorry
is charged with causing the of a Chinese who was
as the chief obstacle, to the contem-knocked down and fatally injured at plated suppression.
At the twelfth sitting of the Opium Advisory Committee the representative of China made a lengthy statement on the whole question of the attitude of China to opium smoking and to the illicit traffic in opium, morphine, and, cocaine generally,
This statement, which contained many historical and political references of a polemical character, was refused discussion by the committee, and has
now been published by the "Ligue anti-opium d'outre-mer." Mr. Wang King-ky therein urged that the com- mission which has just been appointed should have its inquiry extended "to cover all opium-producing countries or countries manufacturing its deriva-
