Shows More Activity

Reddng. Cal. Feb. 2.-Pronounced
activity at the summit Of Lassen
peak, the only live volcano in CONT.
mental United States, was seen from
here early this morning. While not
nearly so heavy as in past years, an
outburst of steam larger than for
many months, could be seen rising
from the mountain.
Sacramento, Feb. 2.-The latest
heavy outburst of steam from Lassen
peak was still continuing at noon,
according to word received from
points near the volcano. The difficult
ty in distinguishing the steam from
the puffs of snow which continually
are tossed around the peak of the
mountains by heavy winds caused dis
crepancies in earlier reports. Adj
vices from points nearer the noun
tain, however, indicated a minor erup-
ton actually was in progress.

him since Sunday" Whereupon, the

the league assembly. but. on motion
of the delegate from India, the words
Strictly medicinal and scientific" were
stricken out and the word Legitimate"
inserted. Inasmuch as the production
of opium is already legitimate in the
countries mentioned, the amendment
not only destroyed the effect of the
intended resolution, but actually gave
league sanction to the production Of
opium without restraint.
The use of opium is permitted in the
oriental possessions of many Euro
pean countries, and huge profits are
made by those engaged in the drug
trade. One of the duties of the league
as set forth in the covenant is TO exc
cute sacred trust of civilization for
the well-being and development of

selves In letter to Lord Cecil,
Congressman Porter expressed curl
osity as to how the official recognition
of the opium traffic by the league can
be brought into harmony with that
provision of the covenant.

Porter declared, making addresses in
support of the policies OF your minor
ity party, these policies being highly
beneficial TO my own country, and
made any erroneous statements of
fact, you would be fully justified in
correcting the Misrepresentation which
my public utterances had created, and
by this letter | am awaiting myself of
a like privilege.
Your erroneous statement as to
what the league OF nations has ac-
complished, coupled with your advo-
cacy of the league, permits the infer
ence that the United States, by refus-
ing to become member thereof, is
not only indifferent, but opposed to the
suppression of this deadly traffic. As
a matter of fact. the United States.
