DOVELDER 1924.

PIRT OPIUM CON/ EMERGE

-

In accordance with the resolution adopted by the

Conference at its 7th meeting, the Committee exeminoà the

mutters mentioned by the British delegate at the 5th meeting

of the Conference, viz:-

1.

a) The actual rates ɗ vonsumption of prepared opium in the

different territories;

b) The different systems of control;

a) The question of smuggling.

The statistics and information furnished to the

Committee showed both similarities and divergences in the

average rates of consumption between the various territories,

The investigation into the reasons of the divergences in the

rates of consumption in the different territeries proved to be

of an extremely intricate nature, as widely differing conditions,

the influence of which in many cases could not be adequately

estimated, had to be considered. The groetest difficulty

confronting the Committee in its efforts to find an estimate

of average consumption, was caused by the fact that the contraband trade in the Far East (except Formosa) has reached such proportions, as to make it impossible to take the figures

For the same reason of licit consumption as a reliable basis. and also because the licensing-system has not yet been generally adopted, it proved to be impossible to determine the number

of smokers.
