FEDERAL LAW TO
CURB DRUG HABIT
New York Man, Who Studies
Effects, Tells Of Evil
EXONERATES The PHYSICIANS

Clergyman Declares Cocaine Can Be
Bought as Easily as Ice Cream and
Asserts That All States Should Have
Uniform Laws-Tells of Effect of
Drug on Victims.
New York-"There is Ouly one way
to put an end to the cocaine traffic in
the United States, and that is to pass
a comprehensive federal law which
will regulate the sale not only Of the
harmful and obnoxious cocaine but all
ing qualities" said the Rev. James
b. Curry Of St James Roman Cotholic
church when asked for his views on
the war on habit forming drugs.
Father Curry became interested in
the fight on cocaine nine years ago, and
he has been fighting it ever since. He
is familiar with every phase of the
matter
1T is u matter that the federal gov
ernment must deal with sOonOr or
later" he said The widespread use
of drugs, which is running the lives Of
thousands of men and women in this
country and, most important of all,
lives Of thousands of boys and girls,
makes it incumbent on the officials in
Washington to take cognizance of this
serious matter. The time for procras-
tination is past, and we must get quick
action.
mo individual state can successfully
combat the evil. For instance, if New
York state passes a drastic law regu-
lating the sale of drugs it will be a
simple matter for unscrupulous sellers
of the drug to obtain their supply in
New Jersey or another state.
"On some sides have heard physi-
clans of this city criticised for filing
prescriptions which enable the bearers
to obtain supplies Of cocaine. Reputa-
bic physicians are striving to lessen
this evil to the best of their ability.
