mission which represented the United
States at the recent International con-
ference at Shanghai, where the use of
opium and morphine was condemned has
been investigating the trade in these
drugs and cocaine in America.
Importers and manufacturers of opiun
are reported to have given the commits
sion information freely; state boards of
pharmacy and police commissioners were
consulted, and those responsible for tha
execution of the state and municipal anti
poison laws called into consultation.
This board has just made a report to
the secretary of state. 1t told him that
the consensus of opinion was that.
though the state and municipal laws
were excellent and quite effective SO far
as mira -State commerce in the habit
forming drug was concerned they were
ineffective as to the interstate traffic.
When habitues and disreputable pre-
scribers and dispensers sent to other
states than those in which they lived for
supplies 1t was almost impossible to de-
tect and punish them. Federal control
of such traffic was therefore recoa!-
mended.
