Dealing With DrugAddicts

m HERE 900 drug addicts in this country ac
cording to Congressman Rainey of Illinois, who is
endeavoring to have law passed prohibiting traffic
in narcotics.
The business of dealing in habtforming drugs, ex-
cept of course with such safeguards shall confne their
regular physicians and their patients is about the
lowest conceivable form of activity
The drug vender is level with the panderer the
procurer, the crimp and the slave dealer.
He sells human life for money and deals one of the
most horrible forms of agonzed ruin and death for price
Few realize that this appalling trade is on the in
crease There is considerable and growing number of
international smugglers.
Special Deputy Police Commissioner Carleton Simon
of New York. estimates the increase of the traffic at 14O0
per cent in six years.
Prominent in the underground traffic that has made
this condition possible the Japanese and German rings
according to knowledge that has the commissioner
through his dealings with the problem in New York city
Japan is now manufacturing narcotic drugs on
vast SCALE says the Commissioner, "In addition to
this certain merchants Of Japan importing every
of narcotic drugs that they can buy in America
The bulk Of all drugs manufactured in Japan and i'm
ported by them from America go from there, via an
underground route, to China back to America
through smuggling ring
I'VE also have in Germany the biggest manufao-
turers of drugs in the world They know that Japan
is attempting to obtain control of the narcotic drug
situation Of the world In consequence, there drug
at present between these two nations.
Agents of these drug rings all over the world.
They represent millions of capital And through their
agents and affiliations they obtain bail for those
arrested and in many instances send these drugs into
foreign countries memo, that in the event that
the drugs seized the smaller agent does not lose
his money Most persons have at best only hazy idea
Of the nroads that narcotism has already made into
the vtals of this nation
To combat this evil the commissioner recommends that
American laws should be amended and an additional one
drafted to stop the Importation of opium and exports Of
