Again eliminating the year follow
ing the war, we find that as to exports
the situation was the reverse of that
applying to imports; that more opium
remained in the country, in proportion
to the total imported, in 1920 than In
1916. Here is not only an evidence OF
increased use, but also an apparent
paradox which at first glance Is very
puzzling. Yet the answer is simple.

diction yields to proper treatment and
that addicts will remain permanently
cured when drug taking is stopped
and they are otherwise physically re-
stored TO health and strengthened in
win power.
This bureau has never sanctioned
or approved the so-called reductive
ambulatory treatment of addiction,
however for the reason that where the
addict controls the dosage he will not
be benefited or cured. Medical au-
thorities agree that the treatment of
addiction with view to effecting a
confinement while the drug is being
withdrawn is a failure. except in a
relatively small number of cases where
the addict is possessed of a much
greater degree of will power than that
of the ordinary addict. The good faith
of the physician and the bona fides of
his treatment in given case will be
established by the facts and circum-
stances of the case and the consensus
Of medical opinion with regard thereto,
based on the experience of the medi-
nature"
The issuance of this regulation has
raised quite storm of protest and led
to the introduction in Congress by
Representative Lester d. Volk of
Brooklyn of resolution for the ap-
pointment of an investigating commit
tee. The resolution was preceded by
number of condemnatory where
ases" and the open charge that an at
tempt was being made to institution
aiize drug addicts.
There are, of course, institutions
which treat drug addiction for pay and
in which large fees are charged. There
are also other institutions where adj
diets are treated free. The upholders
of the ambulatory method assert that

institutionalze all addicts. One OF
these is Judge Cornelius F. Collins

trates.

Contraband Choked on.

The reduction in the ratio of ex-
ports to imports shown by the 1920
figures is directly due to the decision
of the United States Government to
inquire carefully into the narcotic
laws of a country before issuing ex-
port licenses.
In other words. when the Govern
ment began to inquire whether the
country to which exports were to be
made really needed or wanted opium;
whether the narcotic laws Of that
country were such that the opium
could be legitimately used. the exports
dropped. BY inference 1t would seem
that much of the opium that might
have been exported was not needed
where IL was to be sent. and would
probably find its way back to the
United States by the underground"
route.
Another matter of the utmost i'm
portance, which has developed in re-
cent years and unquestionably inter-
fered with the proper handling OF the
question Of drug addiction, Is contro-
versial in character and divides the
medical fraternity. and especially that
part OF it which specializes in drug
cases, into two imposing factions, both
active and probably both quite sin
cere.
IT is not the purpose of THE New
YORK HERALD either to air the contro-
versy or to take any part in 1t, but
TO set forth in as fair a way as pos
sible the outstanding features of II. so
that IL may be clear why II Is of i'm
portance.
The controversy concerns the treat
ment OF those addicted to drugs. par
ticularly opium and its derivatives
and cocaine. To state the matter
briefly. one school favors- what is
known as the ambulatory method Of
treatment while tho opposition Is
for so-called disqualification" There
arc shades OF opinion and qualifica-
tions OF terms which II is not neces-
sary to go into at this time. The use
of the two terms in their broadest and
most general meanings will suffice.
Treatment OF Drug Addicts.
The narcotic section OF the Prohi-
bition Unit recently issued set of
regulations. One of these gives a
clear idea OF tho so-called ambulatory
method of treatment and is therefore
quoted:
The ordinary addict: II IS we'll es-
tablished that the ordinary case Of ad-

"There would not be sufficient hos
pital service in the State of New
York" said Judge Collins. ito take
care of the present number Of drug
addicts. which. conservatively esti-
mated, is in the neighborhood OF $4,000.
The result would be that those who
were not in an institution or under
custodial care would be deprived of
treatment, to say nothing of the con-
stitutional question involved. as to
whether or not doctor could be legiti-
mately forbidden TO practice his pro-
fcssion or for a patient to seek or OBJ
tain treatment that might be neces-
sary."
The regulation of the narcotic sec
ton, il is charged by the opposition.
has had the result of discouraging
reputable physicians, who now do not
want to be bothered with drug addicts
when it may mean unpleasant expert
cnce and notoriety. This in turn, 1t Is
said, has driven addicts who otherwise
might be cured under the guidance
and treatment of physicians, but who
will not or cannot go to institutions,
to the peddlers of drugs, with the re-
suit that they are not being cured at
all and the illicit trade in narcotics is
being encouraged.
In a measure tie controversial de-
velopment has seriously affected the
situation in New York State. II had
at least something TO do with the re-
peal of the Whitney law. The change
in the law. it is claimed. is reflected IN
the number of court cases in which
drug addiction figures. No one con-
tends that the controversy Is a good
thing. And on both sides of the con-
troversy are men who are not salts
fed with the Harrison act, the Federal
statute, and the manner OF its present
enforcement.
Three Elements In the Evil.
The New York herald., 1922-03-23
Three Elements In the Evil.

Here. then, are three important
things that have direct bearing on
drug addiction and It's spread and
which should and can be rectified.
First is the excessive importation OF
opium. the figures OF which might
lead a casual observer TO think that
America is a nation of opium smokers,
as China was once regarded.
Second, is the expectation Of the ex-
cess imported and the likelihood OF
that quantity finding its way back TO
this country and into hands OF those
financially interested In TIE continu-
ance and growth of drug addiction.
Third, is the excessive importation
of those who at heart are probably
ping of drug addiction than any other
one class Of the population and certain
indications that this controversy is
tindering the solution of problem
that is nationwide and growing more
serious all the time.
IL must be remembered that drug
addiction Is not like anything else.
Whether the addict is man or woman,
rich or poor reputable or disrcputable,
he or she must. in order to maintain
normal control of his or her being.
tave the drug of his addiction, just
as human beings must have food to
eat. II matters not. therefore, whether
the addict is hurled from the ambula-
tory method pillar to tho hospitaliza-
tion post or vice versa, he or SIZE will
do anything TO obtain what r. SO
urgently needed.
