SAYS OPIUM TRADERS
ARE OPERATING IN CHINA
Witness Tells Senate Subcommit-
tee japanese Conduct Sales Be-
cause of Inadequate Laws.

Charges of exploitation of China by
Japanese traders in opium, morphine
and other narcotics were made today
before a Senate finance subcommittee
at hearings on a bill of Senator Jones,
republican, Washington. to prohibit
American exports of narcotics.
Paul S. Reinsch, former American
minister to China, told the commit
tee that Japan has inadequate laws
to prevent shipment of narcotics to
China and that Japanese subjects had
taken every advantage" to sell mar
cotics in China.
Mr.. ReinSch and Dr. Wilbur F.
Crafts of the International Reform Bu-
reau told of widespread traffic by Jan
anese in China. The latter declared the
situation to be 'the worst poisoning
case in history
The principal American exporters of
narcotics to Japan are New York and
Philadelphia concerns, the committee
was told. A prominent Philadelphia
company. it was said, has agreed to
cease shipments.
Chinese officials are unable to stop

there Is now practically no difference
between cost and selling price of oak
flooring.
According to one of the recog-

commodity cannot go lower unless
the oak flooring manufacturers are
willing to accept much greater loss,
unless oak lumber in the grades he
uses can be bought at lower price
or his labor cost drops. In the alb
sence of such factors many mills have
closed rather than cut their market
prices further. Oak flooring is not
made from waste. but is made from
lumber. and lumber production is at
probably it's lowest production level.

Claim to virtually every acre of withdrawn oil land held under the old placer mining law had been relinquished to the government today at the close of the six months period within which such relinquishment could be made to secure prior leasing rights to the property under the land leasing act.
