Canon w. II. Bliss startled the
audience with figures and other data
showing the monstrous growth OF the
dope habit in the United States and
in Seattle during the last few years.
He emphasized that we must have
regulations that viii make II impos-
sibic for high school boys and girls
to engage in the pastisne known as
ssnow parties" He attributed the
increase in the dope traffic in this
country largely to the Japanese. He
said:
The public ~ beginning 10 wake
up. A special congressional commit.
tee began investigating the dope
traffic I'm 1918 and 1919. Their fig.
ures show that the importation Of
opium In this country in 1917 was
over so tons. In 1918 II was over so
tons. In 1890 II was more than 3s5
tons.
Il have been told by experts that
one ton OF morphine Is equal 10
500 900 600 shots as our addicts
call them.
This importation is legitimate i'm.
portafion because II is not in viola.
ton Of our federal laws. The Har.
rison act merely controls the distri.
button Of crude opium. IL does not re-
strict It's importation.
