Simon Says Heroin
Is By-Product Of
German Chemists
Cocaine Also Produced From
Coal Tar Under Pressure
of War; $50 Drug Agents
Added to Federal Staff

Heroin, derivative of opium, and
cocaine, derivative of the coca plant
have been produced by German chem
lists synthetically from coal tar, ac-
cording to an assertion made last night
by Dr.. Carleton Simon, Special Dep
uty Police Commissioner in charge Of
the narcotic division. This is a secret
which the Germans have been guarding
zealously, Commissioner Simon said.
The announcement was made at a
meeting of the Brooklyn Medical So
clety, held by invitation of DR.. Simon
IN the trial room at Police Head
quarters. 1t came as surprise to
the physicians present, although the
drug trade has known of DR.. Simon's
evidence as to the synthetic produc-
tlon of drugs by the Germans for some
time. DR.. Simon said on this point:
Some authorities do not agree with
me, but many do, that these anmsthet-
les have been produced synthetically
by the Germans. All the evidence have
points to the fact that the Germans.
while at war, hemmed in by wall of
steel. needing anmsthetics for their
wounded, and unable to get the raw
materials, actually produced heroin and
cocaine from coal tar"
The Brooklyn physicians saw prac-
tlcal demonstrat tions Of narcotic detec-
ton. Detectives Boylan, Neville, Pas
torini and Quigley demonstrated dis
guises used in checking the traffic.
They also exhibited raw drugs and an
pliances of the addict.

China Declares
She Can Adjust
Her Difficulties
President and Premier Tell
Lord Northcliffe Their
Nation Asks Right to
Regulate Tariff Rates
An Appeal for Sympathy
Explanation Is Made That
Since War Country Has
Lost in Export Trade

PEK1NG, Nov. 1s (By The Associated
Press) .--C China's desire to manage her
own affairs without Interference from
other countries was voiced in inter
views granted yesterday to Lord North
cliffe by President Hsu Shih-chnng and
Premier Chin Yun-peng. Both empha-
sized the nations need of money and
both likewise asserted that China was
solvent and able to win her way
through il given the opportunity. Pre-
mier Chin declared that China was
looking for the Washington conference
to give her tariff autonomy.
The President, who received Lord
Northclitfe at his palace, said:
"The Chinese people should be al
lowed to solve their own internal prob
lens. China's present troubles should
be regarded by foreigners not only as
peculiar to China, but as the natural
step in the evolution of the govern
ment when the monarchy was over
thrown after having been endured for
centuries. Similar difficulties were ex-
perienced in France following the revo-
luton, and England and the United
States also had long periods of serious
unsettlement before stable administra-
tions were consummated
"China's present financial difficulties
are aggravated by the conditions which
have obtained since the termination Of
the war. During the war foreign buy
ers operated largely in the Chinese
market and were large purchasers Of
Chinese products. Since the war these
purchases have materially diminished,
and China has not yet been able to
make up the deficiency. She has not
contracted any foreign loans during
cradle amount. Also there has been
no particular investment here Of for
eign capital, and this, coupled with
the decrease in trade of such staples
as silk, tea and the like, is responsible
for little capital coming into the
country.
China is in financial difficulties, but
they are not insurmountable, and steps
are now being taken by the government
which will enable the country to re-
turn to it's normal state within rea-
sonable time, despite the troubles be.
tween the North and South"
Following his audience with the
President, Lord Northcliffe interviewed
the Premier, who said:
China wants money, and can offer
ample security We have our customs,
surplus in the wine and tobacco rev
enue, a railroad surplus and the stamp
tax. Balance sheets will soon be issued
showing our exact position. We are
willing to discuss the control of ex-
penditures if it does not interfere with
China's sovereign rights.
"China expects, as result of the
Washington conference, to get tariff
autonomy. AT present we cannot in
crease the tariff rates without consult
ing the thirteen treaty powers. We
cannot freely change our tariff, as every
other nation in the world does. Nom
inally our tariff is per cent, but
actually we get but 81 per cent. Give
us the right to fix our tariff like other
nations and we will be able to help
ourselves"

to enter into scheme yet to be form
ulated which will have for it's ultimate
object the giving to China gradually
and during the course Of years all that
She nprA demands, except Manchur;a
and Mongolia.
In word, Japan wishes to maintain
her position Of paramount influence in
Oriental affairs.
What will be evolved from the con-
ference, it is believed, will be an as
sociation of nations to deal with the
reconstruction of China, with the
stipulation that Japan's supremacy,
because OF race propinquity and geo
graphical proximity, shall be we'll de-
fined.
Attempts have been made by some
to show what part the Ang!o-J apanese
alliance Will play at the conference.
Directly 1T cannot come up for deliber-
alton, but its indirect influence is be-
ing felt. Opposed to the alliance is
China herself, whose voice has no
weight on the subject, and British
traders in China, who have been
threatened with boycott because of
the alliance. In favor Of the pact are
Brttain's colonial possessions. Aus
tralia and New Zealand, and the Eng
llsh government of India. The exist
ence OF the pact relieves both Japan
and Britain from the necessity of
starting naval rivalry in the Pacific.
by the creation of a new pact which
would include the United States the
question of renewing the old alliance
Will be dropped, the alliance will auto
matically go out of existence, and
China, leaning upon the United States
as her traditional friend, will be mol
lifted.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.--"1t Is not
my habit to tilt at windmills or to
attempt the impossible. The United
States Senate has decided against the
treaty and that is all there is to it,"
Thus tersely, but emphatically, M.
BRAND to-day disposed Of the runor
that he had come to this country to
seek by bargain or by barter to revive
that treaty of insurance which Presi-
dent Wilson gave to France as a re-
ward for the French withdrawal OF all

Rhine.
More than four years ago, in the
closing days of his last ministry, M.

just been fought; the Russian revolu-
ton was breaking out. 1t was one of
the political attacks upon Jofrre had
just succeeded in eliminating the VIC
tor of the Marne, despite the gallant
defense Of M. BRAND himself.
Disposes of Many Legends
In the face Of all the discouraging
circumstances of that moment, M.
BRAND then forecast the victory of the
Allies, the return Of Alsace- Lorraine
and the destruction Of the German
assault upon our common civilization.
To-day, speaking with the same calm,
clear directness, answering the ques-
tions with swiftness and decisive
ness which even Mr.. Hughes himself
could not surpass, the French Prime
Minister met and disposed of many of
the legends which have surrounded his
coming, his actions since he came and
the purposes of France at the confer
ence.
"Did you come to the United States
to urge the ratification of the Anglo
French American treaty of insurance ?"
was the first question I asked.
"No," was the emphatic response.
"1t is not my habit to tilt at windmills
or to attempt the impossible. The Sem
ate of the United States has decided
against the treaty of insurance, and
that is the end of it."
"Have you had any thought of press
ing for an Anglo-French- Japanese
American alliance in the Pacific?"
Naturally not. Such a question has
never been raised in any form, and
ance, l have already answered it,
"Or a Franco-American alliance in

quarters that you may have thought of

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S (By The AS

u. S. W0n't FoIIoav British
NaraI Halt, Says DENLY
Construction Under Way viii
Proceed Until Slapped by nc
ton OF CONGRESS. He Declares

From The Tribnnes Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S. - In con-
nection with advices from London that
the British Admiralty had suspended
naval construction during the arma-
ment conference, Secretary of the Navy
Denby pointed CUT to-day that Con-
gress had not authorized any similar
stoppage of work in American war
shipbuilding yards. The Secretary
said that, lacking such authorization
from Congress, he considered it his
duty to let construction go on.
The report Of British action was
taken up by several Senators who have
been urging similar course for the
United States.
Senator King, of Utah, who has
served notice he will press his resolu-
ton for the suspension of construction
on battleships and battle cruisers, said
the action Of the British government
served to lay emphasis on the wisdom
of this country doing the same thing,
or at least suspending work on battle
ships and battle cruisers.
''It will be great waste Of money
for US to go ahead building in the face
of the fact an agreement to limit con-
struction is practically assured" said
Senator King.
'It will probably be impossible for
US to dispose of the question this ses-
sion, provided the session adjourns by
Thanksgiving. What ought to be done
is for the Naval Committee to take the
matter up and be ready to report just
as soon as Congress meets Decem-
Der g."
Administration leaders on the Senate
Naval Committee take the position that
it would be unwise to suspend con-
struction now and also that they will
not vote to suspend unless requested
to do so by the President.
1t is the view of Senator King, how
ever, that with the British suspension
it will not be easy for Senators to
combat the argument that this coun-
try also should suspend.
