NANKING'S SPOKESMAN REPORTS TO LEAGUE

Geneva, May 27.

Ninety-seven persons were sentenced to death and shot in China, during 1935, for violation of the laws prohibiting trading and consumption of manufactured drugs, stated Mr. Victor Hoo, China's representative at the meeting of the League of Nations Opium Committee this afternoon.

Discussing the narcotic situation in China, Mr. Hoo outlined the measures enforced by the Central Political Committee of the Kuomintang.

"The life of the nation depends upon the struggle against drugs," he declared, “which we must fight to the bitter end."

He was informed, he said, that the Draconian methods adopted had res tricted the activities of clandestine factories and traffickers in manufac tured narcotics wherever the problem | aus not complicated by factors cut- side the control of the Chinese authorities.

INSOLUBLE DIFFICULTY

MUSSOLINI READY FOR FRIENDSHIP

BUT WON'T TAKE

The biggest diflculty at presunt, which was insoluble without the colla beration of other countries, was the action of certain foreigners who took advantage of their privileged position to indulge in a trade in drugs on a vast scale, paralysing as far as m factured narcotics were

concerned, the effects of the Chinese measures. The situation was still very grave, said Mr. Hoo, in

certain parts of China; especially in North China.

The British Assessor on the Com- mittee, Mr. Lyall, stated that the Chang district of the demilitarised zone had 131 opium shops. The: Governor and attempted to deal with this situation, but as a majority of ment
