HARDING OUTLINES
PARTY PROGRESS
President Believes the Future
Will Show Increased Bust
ness Activity.

WASHINGTON Sept. 6.-President
Harding, in a letter reviewing the
achievements to date of the republi-
can administration, particularly with
reference to congress, declares 'that
surveying the national situation as q
whole, it is plain that we are working
our way out of a weller Of waste and
prodigal spending at a most impress
sive rate"
The letter made public today, was
written by the president under date
Of August 29 to Senator Mccormick,
Of Illinois, and, 1t is understood, viii
be- used in the campaign in New Mex
leo. where Senator Bursum, appointed
to fill out the unexpired term of Sec
rotary of Interior Fail, is a candidate
for reelection. The letter, it is also
understood, is considered by republi-
can leaders as a reply to attacks on
the legislative record of the republi-
can congress by Chairman White, of
the democratic national committee,
and other leading democrats.
I'VE have made much progress to-
ward retrenchment and greatly in
creased efficiency" the president as
serts. Il cannot but account it a mon
umental accomplishment which has
marked the work of the extraordinary
session down to the time of its re-
cess"
Looking to the future, Mr.. Harding
in his letter expresses the confident
hope that congress, after the recess
and before the end Of the extraordi-
nary session, will adopt both the tar
iff and taxation measures and that
along with these it will pass the. bin
to permit funding the debt owed US
by foreign governments.
This, hope" the president adds,

legations. am confident that the bill
facilitating the funding of the debt
OF the railways to the United States
will become law during the extraordi-
nary session, thus ensuring a large

ment of the men now idle"
The president in beginning his letter
expressed thanks to Senator McCor-
mick for the Illinois senator's con-
gratulations on the accomplishments
of the administration, as expressed in
a letter addressed to the president I'M
der date of August "a.
The republican congress, preceding
the advetn of the present administra-
ton is credited by Mr.. Harding with
having patiently and assidulously la
bored to reduce expenditures. with re-
suits which we can summarize in the
statement that the appropriations for
the current fiscal year will aggregate
four and a quarter billion dollars and
that this is three quarters of a billion
less than the expenditures for the pre-
vfous fiscal year"
The president, after reciting as ex-
the advent of the present administra-
expenditure of three and a half billion
dollars by the shipping board; be-
tween five and ssix billion dollars for
aircraft, artillery and ammunition. and
between one and q quarter and one

The Japanese reckon, with per-
feet logic, that we could not en-
dure the humiliation Of having
these territories seized by force
without an attempt to retake them
by force; and they also reckon,

our fleet has no nearer naval base

their fleet will outclass ours at

probably defeat It.
Now. since even q landsman. II

U.S..|S REVEALED
AS SUPPLY BASE
FOR NARCOTICS
toophoIe in Harrison Act Per-
mits Traffic In Drugs On
Large Scale.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Thr6ugh a
loophole in the Federal anti-narcotic
statute vast quantities of opium,
morphine and heroin are distributed
throughout this country and illicitly
disposed of to addicts.
The loopholA in the law permits the
expectation Of opium and its deriva-
lives from America without restric-
ton OF regulation. Rigid regulations
govern the sale of the drug domesti-
cally, but no check or trace of exports
In made.
As q result huge stores of opium,
morphine and heroin are purchased
regularly in the United States, shipped
to Mexico, Canada or abroad unre-
stricted and then smugsled back to
this country for sale at great profit.
Some citizens Of Japan and Germany
are among those most active In this
business. according to the police.
Justice Cornelius F. Collins, chair
man Of the judiciary committee on
narcotics of this State, described the
situation thus:
ITO get opium legitimately In this
country you have to be registered and
entitled to purchase Il, and you have
to give q formal order. But anybody
from foreign country can purchase
II without any restriction.
why are Detroit and Buffalo such
large drug-distributing centers7 Why
Ia the situation 30 serious In Florida,
st. Louis and Texas? Simply because
smuggling Ia 30 largely INDUCED in
there, due to the loopholcd lazy, which
practically deprives the police of an
opportunity to follow II up In those
cities. Could we trace those who buy
from the outside. as well az those who
buy from the inside of this country,
we would be In q far better position
to handle the situation"
Dr.. Carleton Simon said that the
narcotic division of the police depart
ment recently seized trunk in South
Brooklyn filled with drugs, which had
been smuggled from Germany, to
