FINAL SOLUTION WITH LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

A mora vigorous campaign, both na regards detective methods and police court prosecutions, has during the past year estab lished a definite check the trame in cocuine Calcutta-an illfelt trade, formerly organized on an elaborate seale, th which big profits made the risk of punishment worth the while!

'A representative of the States, man was reliably informed. : that practically all the large dens in the city, establishments admirably adapted to concealment; and coni-" plete with distributor and spies, have been, wiped out. Several of the "big" people in the trade have been arrested and sentenced, and others, known to be interested in the traffic compelled to leave the city, under the Emergency Regula- tions, for harbouring dangerous characters.

Great risks are run by those who act as carriers--- they know that the penalty of de- tection is a heavy, ong-but ther prices paid for supcessful deli- veries are a powerful incentive to Chinese, born smugglers, and the lower ratings on ships...

Battle of Wits.

The trade has for years estab- lished a battle of wits between the smuggler and the authorities, in which the latter, as the very ex- istence of the traffic proves, not infrequently come off second best. Hiding places are selected with extraordinary cunning. Repeatedly detective officers, positive that there is a consignment of cocaine' on a ship, have been chagrined, after systematic search, to find no trace of the drug. On the other hand, long experience has develop ed in some officers a genius for dis covering the prize, secreted, per- haps, in a cabin, in the engine room, under bunker coal, holds, etc. At railway stations, too, offi- cers often pounce upon the most innocent looking luggage with painful consequences for their

owners.

Discussing the problem ar nu- thority concerned in the suppres- sion of illegal traffic in drugs said: "The question is an international one, and it is hoped that the League of Nations will agree to action which will restrict the manufacture of cocaine to strictly. medicinal requirements. Until this is done there must be a dang erous leakage, defying all the vigilance of the authorities cerned. To India, with its teem ing industrial population, the pros- pect of the growth of the cocaine habit is a particularly serious matter.
