China Would Make
Foreign Courts There
Observe Opium Laws

Geneva. Nov. 26-(By A. P)-China
made a determined stand at the in
ternational opium conference today
on the question of extra territorality,
as related to opium, and finally in
duced the business committee to
place in the conference agenda
China proposal.
The proposal is in effect that the
foreign courts in China, which do not
follow Chinese law on opium suppress
sion. shall have law as drastic as
that of China and will agree to apply
the same drastic punishment to for
eigners. including deportation, upon
conviction of infringement of the law.
Another poiuA- Is that the Chinese
government shall be permitted to
have Chinese assessors sit in the
foreign courts when foreigners are
tried.
India today actively ccmbatted at
tempts TO bring in So-called new
questions which India and some 9TH
er countries feel do not fall within
the scope of the agenda. If the In
dian move proves successful it would
have the effect of shutting out two or
three important features of the
American proposals. including the
one STIMULATING that OPIUM smoking
SHOULD come 10 I'm emu III Tie lar
east within ten years.
Today's debate touching on the
competency of the present confer
ence occurred at private meeting
Of the business committee of the
conference, which was so lengthy.
owing to the difficulty of reaching
an accord. that the schedule of the
plenary session of the conference
had to be altogether abandoned.
stephen G.. Porter, the American
representative, got into action i'm
mediately when the Indian pleni-
potentiary objected to some of the
American proposals. Mr.. Porter re-
served the right to bring them up
at the plenary conference. Heroin.
like the question of suppression of
opium smoking in the far east. was
the matter on which Mr.. Porter
made reservations.
Interest was created by the an
nounrement by the league of nations
that Sir Robert Ames, financial dir
cCtor of the league. had received a
letter from Mr.. Porter asking what
would be proper contribution of
the United States toward the eN-
penses of the present opium confer
erce. This letter constitutes pre-
cedent and fuitills the idea of many
Americans visiting Geneva that the
United states, should contribute It's
share in the costs of the leagues
activities in which it participates and
by which It profits. Sir Herbert esti-
mates that the conference probably
will cost the league about S15,UW.
and the American share. probably
Will he the same as Great Britain S
that is. ten per cent or S1,Joo.

delivered to City Marshal William j.

mind of reader somewhere because
