SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1923.

London, Jan. 19.

The representative of India suggested that opium should be sold at a fixed price to prevent a great rise, which would make smuggling a profitable matter. Finally, the question was post- pened. but Turkey subsequently intimated her intention of entering the League, which will involve signing the Convention, while Persia also intimated intention to withdraw reservations she had hitherto

There was really no evidence of reduction since the Hague Convention, although there had been real improve- ment After referring to the very bad marked recrudescence of opium production in China, Sir John Jordan expressed disappointment that although the British, American and Chitese delegates strongly "pressed holding at least one public meeting of the Commission the pro-
