During the month OF january,

BY n. II SLOAN

.Dopen was the most discussed
subject in Washington today as the
delegation Of Elks from Chicago and
other sections departed after fulfill.
ing its mission at the White House.
1t was plain that Administration
officials were impressed with the ap.
parent united sentiment voiced
throughout the nation urging inn.
mediate action against the interna,
tional trade in habit-for1ping drugs
The problem OF how "a cure the
dope evil which is conceded to be
90 menacing as to become a national
peril became the talk among mem.
bers OF Congress.
That an international conference
10 limit the production of narcotic
drugs by specific allotment of acre
age to be devoted to the opium
plant-the poppy-is the unanswer.
able solution to the evil In this and
other countries was the consensus
Of Congressman and Senators.
It was predicted that action was
Imminent on the drug question as
the result OF the capitalization of
sentiment in Congress to the effect
that urgent steps must be taken to
curb the menace.
Harding Starts Step.
: President Harding's recognition OF
the national peril Of dope in official
terday appeared to have brought
the issue forcefully to the front.
Twice during the day the Presi-
dent touched upon the problem of
habit-forming narcotics.
His first official word came when
the Elks delegation, OF which VIII.
Ham J. Sinek, exalted ruler Of Chi.
cago lodge, was chairman, met the
Chief Executive, and in a short adj
dress on the horrors of the increas.
ing use Of the drugs, handed the
President resolutions from all over
the country in behalf Of 1.000,0
Elks.
This was followed by an an.
houncement that action in the form
of resolutions had been taken by
800 900 members Of the Loyal Order
Of Moose, headed by Greater Chi
cago Lodge.
This message was conveyed to
the President by James ]. Davis,
Secretary of Labor, and head Of the
Moose order.
Sinek was informed by the Presi
dent that ne was IN nearly sym
pathy with the purpose Of the reso-
lutions and that 1t was realized that
something must be done to handle
the narcotic drug evil.
Commends the Campaign.
Later in the day. when 1t was
asked at the White House IL there
were any definite plans in mind to
cope with the dope traffic. 1t was
officially stated that while there
was nothing definite as yet the sub
1ect was under serious consider
alton.
The President commended the
nationwide campaign that is sweep
ing the country as the result o.
agitation against narcotic drugs by
newspapers, fraternal societies
churches and other patriotic or
, carnations as wholesome and
worthy, and indicated that i'm
portant action might be taken II
the near future.
It was stated that the White
House had been deluged with resolu
tions from organizations all ovel
the United States urging an inter
national conference on the subjec
and the setting aside OF a "nationa
