A large proportion of the coca leaf imported into the Netherlands is re-exported chiefly to Germany, but also to France, Switzerland, and America.

The first condition for securing an effective limitation of production is that all countries should adhere to the Opium Convention and should accept the import certificate system. Countries will also have to undertake to communicate without delay all data relating to the area under coca cultivation and to imports and exports (including consignments by parcel post), with a view to facilitating mutual control. It will also be necessary to ensure that countries which do not at present cultivate coca do not undertake its cultivation in the future.

The problem might be more easily solved if coca cultivation could be stopped in Formosa, Ceylon, and the other districts in which it is as yet in its infancy. Its suppression in those places might prove necessary in view of the fact that the cultivation in other countries will have to be reduced to a much greater degree.

We shall then have to consider whether the cultivation of coca leaves for home consumption in Peru and Bolivia should be left unregulated, and, if so, whether the secret exportation of the coca leaf and of raw cocaine could be prevented - a difficult question.

An attempt must be made to establish an equitable proportion for the allocation between producing countries of the quantity of coca leaf to be employed in the manufacture of cocaine.
