The state department, it is stated,
commissioned delegates to the confer
ence, and will promulgate an institu-
ton covering the entire field of habit
forming drugs, so that the commits
sioners from America will not only
have full signatory powers as regards
traffic in the main drugs which are
threatening the manhood of the world,
but will have liberty to go as far as
any nation wishes in opposing restric-
tive measures of any other drug

for its campaign of suppression, natur-
ally is in the forefront of The Hague
