HOUSE To ACT
ON DRUGS BAN
WITHIN WEEK
Extension of Curb on Narcotics
Imports to Be Sought
Immediately.
BY Universal Service.

The Kahn resolution designed to
extend the ban placed by the re-
Gently enacted Jones-Miller act on
the manufacture and transportation
Of narcotics will be taken up by the
House Foreign Affairs Committee
within the next week or ten days.
Congressman Stephen G. Porter.
of Pennsylvania, chairman of the
committee, made this announce
ment today. Mr.. Porter is one of
the strongest advocates Of the pro-
posed suppression Of the illicit drug
traffic in all parts of the world,
because, he says, cirCumventlon of
the laws of those countries which
have taken proper legislative action
by smuggling can only be prevented
by eliminating the sources in other
countries.
He will confer with Congressman
julius Kahn, OF California, author
of the resolution. and agree on a
plan for consideration Of the meas
ure by the committee. The Kahn
resolution calls on the Administra-
tion to use every effort TO induce
all other civilized nations to pre-
vent the manufacture and trans
portation Of all habit forming drugs.
The only question to be determin.
ed, Chairman Porter said, Is
whether or not the Kahn proposal
offers the best remedy for the stu.
alton. II in view of the passa ge
of the Jones-Miller law, It should
be found that there is some more
effective way of making the ban
worldwide, the committee will CO.
operate iu drafting a new resolu
ton.
1t is hoped that favorable action
by both houses of Congress will be
possible at the present session.

HUGE EDRUCEVIL
TOBELESSENED
by MILLER Law
Judge Mcintyre, Close Student
Of Craze, Says Statute
Should Work Well.

NEW YORK, May 2Q.--Judge
Mcintyre, of general sessions. who
for the last ten years has made an
exhaustive study Of the drug evil,
said yesterday that the Miller law
10 "a most wholesome law and one
Of the most constructive eyer en-.
acted"
The Miller bill. containing pro.
visions long advocated by the
Hearst newspapers, recently was
passed by Congress. 1t will con-
troll the importation and expectation
Of habit forming drugs into and
out Of the country, and will hold
down imports TO legitimate demands
for medicinal purposes, thereby con-
trolling the drug evil at Its source.
Judge Mcintyre said:
"A great deal of the crime today
i should say about 40 per cent
is due to drug addiction. Nearly
all the young men and young
women who are brought into oar
courts today charged with crimes
of violence are drug addicts. This
Is not so true Of the older and
hardened criminal.
THE limitations which this new
law will put on the supply will have
ciably, especially with the diff
Guilty heroin users will have in
getting their .favorite drug.
1T Is absolutely true that heroin
users are the most desperate of
any of the drug addicts. Heroin
seems to have a tendency to build
up a false courage in its user. 4
majority Of the most desperate re-
cent crimes were committed by this
type of drug user.
"One of the greatest things that
this law will accomplish will be,
after a time, the elimination of the
drug peddler, who is one OF the
greatest menaces to society in the
country today. Upon his shoulders
rests the responsibility for the re-
cruits to the addicts.
"Gangsters know the advantages
Of the drug, especially 30 far as
the younger meShbers Of a gang are
concerned. Many of the young
criminals today are only tools of
these peddlers and the older gang
sters, who fill them up with CO.
caine to the extent that they are
ready. even anxious, 10 venture
anything. no matter what the risks.
so as to be assured Of their supply.
THE Miller law ought to work
to the same advantage of the coun.
try as has the prohibition law. Be
fore the prohibition amendment we
had thousands of dipsomaniacs In
this country. Now a dipsomsn MAC
is a rarity. BY the same reason
ing II ought to be but a short time
when the drug addict becomes q
rarity.
