ny JAY JEnoME WILLIAMS.

Washington. May l9.--The special
narcotic committee, appointed by for
mer Secretary OF the Treasury McAdoo
to investigate tho drug traffic in the
United states, has completed its report
and presented it TO Secretary of the
Treasury Glass.
The report is OF most sensational
character. 1t shows the United States
as the largest consumer OF drugs in
the world, with more than 100000
addicts and more than S6l, 600 900 spcnt
annually by drug users TO satisfy the
habit. 1t also shows II national or

along the Atlantic and Pacific Cous;s
Universal Service today obtained the
complete report and is able To present
amazing document which calls for ac-
ton by Congress, the state Department
and the entire nation to end tho deadly
traffic
Thirt!-Thrcc Grains Fer Cupitu.
Although the peace conference has
already taken action to protect China
from the spread OF the opium habit.
tho report shows tho United States 10
exceed China and lead the entire world
in the coilaumption OF opium. Our an
nuai consumption of opium is so en-
tcnSiNc as to furnish thirty three
grains OF opium yearly 10 every rnar
woman and child in tho country. nc
compared with tw" grains annually per
capita consumption. for Instance, in
terInany. The committees table for
INC per capita consumption, by tho
United states and foreign countries is
a grim story in itself II shows tho
United states as consuming from ten
TO sixty times as much opium az is
consumed by other countries
Ninety per cent Of tho drugs CON
S'Imed in this country arc used for
other than medical purposes and opium
comes in this category. according to
The report With regard to our
astounding consumption OF opium it
SAYS:
When il Is considered that the
greater portion of our citizens do not
take single dose Of opium year after
year. II is manifest that this enormous
per capita consumption IS the result; of
its use for tho satisfaction OF addictS."
Used for Illicit Purposes.
Furthermore. 80 per cent os the CO.
came imported in this country, is used
for Illicit purposes. and the same is
true regarding heroin, morphine and
other drugs.
The traffic is increasing by leaps and
bounds. Practically all OF the larger
cities report increases. and one esti-
mate of the nations number OF ad-
diets included in the report is 1000
900 persons. The committees figures Of
100000 is thereby shown to be con-
Servative.
1t is estimated that 237 500 persons
