DOPE PEDDLERS SUPPLY MILLION
 sADDICTS IN v. s.
BY JACK JUNeMEYER

WASHINGTON, May s-The most dangerous agent of vice and crime in America today is the Illicit drug bootlegger, say federal authorities.
 Operating through highly organ ized syndicates and supplied by in- ternational smugglers, the dope ped dler has in this country more Shan a million clients
 L. G. Mutt, director of the Federal narcotic field force, says thousands of addiets are young men and young women. He declares there has been a great increase in the number of girls of respectable families who have been lured into "drug rings
 Toledo, Ohio, is said by govern meat operatives for the national field force to be the chief distributing point in the United States, and from there the underground channels ram fly to other cities as far away as the Pacific coast and the gulf.
 Tine big volume of opium and CO., caine enters the United States at the port of New York. is there safeguard ed by counterfeit labels, routed on through Canada and again enters the country through Toledo.
 One dope syndicate in that city is known to government agents to be
 
 and has s150.000 always available for defense of arrested hirelings, though none of the principals have ever been apprehended.
 The chief source of supply is said to be certain English interests.
 Legitimate importations of opium in 1917 ran to S6.s12 pounds and in 1920 jumped to 62S,s71 pounds, ac- cording to the governments monthly summary of commerce. Thus far in 1921 there is considerable drop.
 Available statistics show about an equal number of men and women ad- diets throughout the country.
 The class of addicts which consT- ute public menace through crime or degeneracy are almost wholly sup piled through illicit channels
 All drug users are not to be Jumped in one class. authorities state. Many. they point out. are such because of protracted medication with opiates. Generally, it is maintained, cases of medical origin in the opiate division remain on practically the same moral and mental level as they were before. particularly when the dosage is small.
 The Harrison narcotic act recog- niZes these distinctions in the cause and nature of addiction. but does not concede the use of drugs merely to relieve the cravings of the confirmed user not otherwise diseased. The law is rapidly tightening up sources of hitherto legitimate supply, and thousands of habitues confronted with this situation have elected to get their supply from underworld sources at exorbitant prices.

REPORT IF NEW YORK SOCIALIST
 QUIZ GIVEN OUT
IaepubIic.n A. p. Leased wirel

NEW YORK. May s.-The report of the joint legislative committee in- vestigating seditious activities was made public today A preliminary report was made to the legislature April 20 and other findings were re- vealed during the hearings that led to the busting of five socialist assem- blymen by the assembly last summer. New matter that developed since has been incorporated in the report.
 The authors conclude that revolu- tionary radicals have sought to fur ther their aims through personal propa ganda. directing their efforts chiefly toward college students, ne groes and union labor.
 American colleges. 1t is charged, are honeycombed with avowed so- cialist professors whose teachings are bolshevik. While the negro in gen. eral has been well treated in New York state" the report says. the i'll treatment accorded him in other parts of the country has engendered a spirit of resentment kept alive by the agents and agitators of the Socialist party of America, the Industrial Workers of the World and other rad icaI groups. This spirit also has been encouraged by liberals" The report eays that union labor Is being necessarily impregnated with radical doctrines
 What purport to be c-simile copies of letters from prominent Americans to socialist, paficist and ro-German leaders are published with the explanation that the letters speak for themselves.

BERLIN, May 9-The advice which Robert F'riedlander, industrialist and financier, gives his countrymen in an examination of the allied ultimatum and protocol is this:
 The fate of Germany and her fu- ture good name are in our hands, let us go to work. The document has been drawn up by sober minded, calmly calculating business men. who have weighed the prerequisites on which their conclusions are based.''
 Herr Friedlander believes that the allies terms are acceptable, he says, because they are not unreasonable and can be fulfilled under conditions which may be taken for granted and which, indeed, will be incorporated in the treaty.
 He sets forth the things necessary to Germany's ability to carry out the protocol as the return of Germanys industrial capacity, inventive genius and enterprise b the pre-war basis at least and that no integral parts of her territory be detached, thus causing irredentas on the borders"

AMERICAN AID ID EUROPE ASSURANCE
 OF FUTURE PEACE

The love for America sown in the hearts of the thousands of starving children in central and eastern Europe who are being fed through American geherosity will be the country's great est guaranty of future peace. This is the message brought home by Donald E. Hardy, who has just returned to America from work with the European relief council abroad.
 Arizona money already is relieving suffering among the children or Eu- rope, and therefore Arizona is doing its share in making for this future peace among the nations of war wrecked Eu- rope, according to MT. Hardy. He makes a report especially with rela- ton to the relief work in Poland. He says the fields of the nation are barren as the result of the bolsheyiki war. The relief council is feeding. boys and girls to the number of more than 100000 in Poland alone. Tn the districts ot Lodz and Flock 15s000 children are be- ing kept alive by the council on its ration of one good bowl of stew day
 for every child. In Warsaw 40,00C boys and girls between three and II are being fed. while milk is provided for nursing mothers and babies under three.
 Mir. Hardy reports there Is no sugar in Poland and to sell cake. or even serve it at one's table, is against the
 law. Fresh meat is available for those
 who can buy it, but flour. fats and
 butter are beyond the reach of civil
 ians,'' says MT. Hardy. He says the
 health of the children is improving
 wherever relief council has worked The epidemic of rickets that swept tho
 war region has abated whenever the children received their allowance of on, meal a day. Upon this meager ratior a boy or a girl can be kept alive ont year for s10.
 The relief council is still in reed O funds to carry on until the next har- vest. Half of the Arizona quota ha: been raised. The amount of the quot: Is $S0,0O0, which if filled will save tht lives of 5000 boys and girls. The money already subscribed has gone forward as indicated by MT. Hardy, and is nov actually serving in this life saving tasl of mercy. The expense of the cam paign comes from an entirely separat, fund. derived from food warehouse re ceipts and paid through a New Yorl bank Therefore every dollar of Ari zona's quota goes to the children fo whom it was donated.
