LEAGUE ASSEMBLY
CONSIDERS OPIUM
TRAFFIC PROBLEM

Geneva, Dec. 16.-Proposal that
the duties which heretofore have de-
volved upon Holland under the in
! ternational opium convention, regu-
lating traffic in the drug was taken
, up by the assembly at this morn,
ing's session.
The committee which had been
investigating the subject recon-
mended that the secretariat of the
league collect information from the
interested countries and that the
subject be further investigated by
an advisory committee, including
representatives from the countries
especially concerned-Holland, In
dia, Great Britain France, Japan,
China, Siam and Portugal.
Under the international Opium
Convention signed in 1912, the Uni
ted States being among the sigma
tories various duties devolved upon
the Dutch government. Among the
provisos was one that the contract
ing powers should communicate
with one another. regarding various
facts connected with the subject
through the Dutch minister of for
! eign affairs. The ratification ma
chinery also was placed in the hands
of the Netherlands foreign office.
The committee report mentioned
the difficulty resulting from the ab-
sence of the United States and Ger
many from the League and sugges-
| ted that if these governments could
not forward their information to
the League they might continue to
communicate with Holland on the
! subject.
During the discussion DR.. Well
ington Koo, of the Chinese delega-
ton, reviewed the. efforts made by
China during more than century
to suppress the opium habit. He
recognized he said, the great debt of
gratitude China owed the United
States for Americas aid in this
work. He was particularly pleased,
he said, that the committee had de-
cided the United States should be
especially invited to send repre-
sentative to meet with the advisory
committee.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE
 SLUMP FELT HERE
It May Interfere Seriously With Cotton Export Un-
 less Relief Is Granted

The slump in cotton and securities hit a few Birmingham men rather hard yes- terday, though it was learned from prok- CTS that business in this line has not ben very heavy here recently.
 At the office of one firm of brokers It was stated that they had sold very few securities the past week or two, their sales being confined practically to an is- sue of Alabama Power Company bonds, the majority of which that company IS offering to Alabama investors
 The big slump in cotton and securities reported from New York yesterday, which follows a steady decline extending over period of several weeks. is explained oy some brokers as being deu largely to the English embargo on cotton.
 London exchange has gone to such a high rate that English mill men are un- able to take American cotton without se- rious loss The English pound sterlifg dropped to $3 20 in New York yesteroay, the lowest price on record. This is equiv alent to approximately g 1-3 per cent off it's value of s4S6ss before the war. While the English pound sterling IS
 worth only about two-thirds of it's pre- war value in New York, it is at pmem- i,rrn in other countries, J. B. Garber oi Caldwell & Garber explained yesterday. These other countries clear through Lon- dcr. and the pound sterling is still the
 bases of their clearances.
 There have been intimations .eminating from New York recently, to the effect that English hnanciers and manufactur- CTS were depressing the value Of the pound sterling in this country for the
 purpose of discouraging the American ex- port trade. thereby helping the expor' trade Of Great Britain in European, ASl- atic and South American countries. Whether this is a fact or not, brokers and manufacturers declare that the de- cline in the pound sterling is having that effect and that unless relief is found soon American manufacturers who export all or part Of their products will be without foreign markets
