Evil.
Drug Firms TO Confer With
Federal Officials in Attempt
TO Regulate Imporla-
lion of Narcotics.
Estimates Are Prepared
BY Universal Service.

Washington, March 25-As prac-
tieal step toward combating the
growing drug evil, representatives Of
the big American drug and chemical
manufacturers will meet here Tues
day with the federal narcotics control
board to fix the quantities of crude
opium and coca leaves to be imported
into this country during the next fis
cal year.
Every one OF the seven firms
known to the government as engag
cd in this line Of manufacture viii he
represented at the conference. These
are:
haywood Chemical company, May
wood, \. J., which imports and deco
cainizes the coca leaves in the manu-
facture of coca cola syrup: Merck &
Co. New York; Mckesson and Rob
bins, New York. Powers. Wightman
and Rosengarten. Philadelphia; Ell
Lilly & Co, Indianapolis; Parke. Davis
s. Co, st. Louis. and Mallinckrodt
Chemical Works. ST. Louis, who con
vert the raw material into drug form
for the pharmaceutical trade.
Estimates of Needs Prepared.
Preliminary to Tuesdays conference
the federal narcotics control board
was in session today. preparing an
estimate of the country's needs. This
will be compared with estimates sub
mitted by the drug manufacturers.
and between the two the conference
will reach an agreement on what i'm
ports will be permitted next year.
II IL the purpose of the government
and the manufacturers TO cut off
surplus BY holding imports down TO
actual requirements in this country,
plus such legitimate export trade as
the manufacturers may have.
This step toward drug regulation
is being taken under the authority ot
the narcotic drugs import and ex
port act Of May 2s, 1921.
Tuesdays conferecne. however. IS
expected to be a preliminary step also
toward putting into effect the recently
enacted Porter narcotic control set,
which seeks, through diplomatic nc
gotiations. to restrict production of
crude drug plants TO actual medicinal
needs OF the world.
VIII Ask Cooperation.
When the conference fixes what Is
needed IN this country it viii give the
State department the basis for nego-
tiations with other nations. Produe-
ing countries probably win b asked
to restrict exports TO the United States
to an amount not TO exceed the esti-
mated total legitimate requirements
here and to see that those experts
reach only those concerns that the
American government recognizes as
proper agencies to receive the sup
plies.
Such restrictions would tend 10 put
a close check on American supplies at
both ends Of the line so far as legi.
innate trade is concerned, leaving this
government then only the illegitimate
smuggler TO deal with until such time
az the producing countries should en-
ter treaty agreements TO hold produc.

owing for the upkeep of the Amer
lean army OF occupation on the
Rhine, 1t was reported here today
when the international conference
opened regarding costs OF the
armies of occupation.
America is represented in the
conference by Eliot Wadswortn,
assistant secretary of the treasury.
Other representatives are NJ. Tan
merry of France; M. Bemelmans of
Belgium; Signor Damelio of Italy,
and Sir John Bradbury of Eng
land.
"The problem OF adjusting the
costs Of the armies of occupation
OF the allied and associated powers
is made more difficult by the fact
that Germany has ceased all pay
ilants," said the Matin. TT seems,
however, that Washington must
realize this.
"The American Treasury De-
partment probably would be con-
tent If awarded certain payments
in kind, notably dyes or chemicals.
America refused to ratify the
treaty Of Versailles and protests
all efforts to compel Germany to
pay, but she claims the benefits of
all payments that we compel the
Germans to make"
