WORLD WIDE FIGHT ON DRUGS
Many Nations to Join in The Hague
Conference Next May.
CHINA LEADS In MOVEMENT
Han H. 90 Ne Placed Upon Nor
phine and Cocaine, as wen
- on Opium, the world
over.

WASHINGTON. Feb. ESPECIAL Tele-
gram The state department has in
structed the American delegates to the
International opium conference, which
in to meet at The Hague in May, to
urge a world wide fight against not
only opium, but morphine, cocaine and
all other habit forming drugs.
The conference was originally intended
to discuss the opium traffic exclusively.
but a short time ago, at the behest of
Great Britain, one Of the powers to be
represented at the conference, morphine
and cocaine were added TO the subjects.
Italy followed shortly after with the de-
mand that the conference not only find
ways 20 restrict the worlds traffic in
opium and other drugs, but the deadly
cannabis or hasheesh made from Indian
hemp, which is dealt in with smugglers
on Italian shores.
The State department, it is now stated,
commissioned delegates to the confer
ence, and will promulgate institutions
covering the entire field Of habit-form-
| ing drugs, so that the commissioners
| 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 imposing restrictive measures on any
othet drugs.
American DELEGATES.
Two Of the American delegates to The
Hague will be Right Rev. Charles II.
Brent Protestant Episcopal bishop Of
/ the Philippines, and DR.. Hamilton
Wright Of the State department, both
of whom served on the opium ccmmis-
sion which met at Shanghai two years
ago. Charles ID. Tenney, Chinese secre-
tary of the American legation at Pekin,
who served on the commission, will be
replaced by another delegate whom
rumor has It is to be a person prominent
in American college circles.
The nations which will participate in
the coming conference are, besides the
United States, China, France. Germany
Great Britain. the Netherlands, Portu-
gal, Russia, Austria, Hungary, Italy
Siam and Persia.
China, the nation which has suffered
the heaviest form ravagees of the opium
evil and which has hailed with satisfac
} ton the good offices of the United States
in bringing about aid for It's campaign OF
suppression, naturally is in the fore
front of The Hague negotiations.
The inclusion of morphine, cocaine
and hasheesh as subjects OF deliberatioI
has given China satisfaction, for the rea
son the traffic in at least two Of thes,
drugs is more vital to the welfare o
the United States citizens than opium
and therefore there Is no danger of tn
Americans losing interest in the con
ference or stepping aside in Difference Il
Great Britain, from whose dependencie
in India is shipped a great part of tn
opium consumed in China.
The growing agitation against opium
smoking, and the strongest regulation
b which the United States has placed o.
J its importation, both into the home coun
I try and her possessions in the orient
is said to have been of wonderful aid t
China in coping with the havoc made b
the drug.
