shooting. He denied 1t, explaining to
the police that the girl had picked I'D
the weapon from table, pointed 1t
at tne celins anu snapped the trig-
ger. 1t missed fire, he said, and then
she pointed 1t at him and it again
missed fire. Next she pointed the

This subcommittee cannot get anv-
where without new blood" Mr.. Suei-
nIra declared, adding: I'VE propose
that Senior Buero of Uruguay serve
In Japan'S place. He has been dis
tingufshed throughout the conference
by notable impartiality"
AAfter the other delegates had Joined
in the request that he remain. Mr.
Sugimura only reiterated his decision
which had been reached in agreement
with Mr.. kaku, head of the Japanese
delegation, and which he declared was
irreYocable.
Inc subcommittee, from which the
japanese withdrew, finally adopte ed
MS suggestion to invite Senior Buero
to sit with it. The committee also
invited the Swiss delegate to attend
the meetings and explain the Swiss
viewpoint regarding the central
board. Switzerland yesterday served
notice that she would have nothing
to do with such an Organization and
the purpose of inviting the delegate
was to get the Swiss views into the
minutes of the conference.
A clash between Mrs Hamilton
right, American delegate, and T.
NJ Clayton, the new head of the dele
cation from India, enlivened another
subcommittee session where article /
of the American proposals was being
discussed. Mr.. Clayton had lust fn-
ished lengthy survey of India needs
for opium, particularly in the treat
ment of cattle for collie and other
ailments, when Mrs. Wright inter-
jected: 1T has always seemed strange
to me that India of all the oriental
countries, should be the sole one
needing opium so much while all her
eastern neighbors were endeavoring
to stamp it out"
Mrs. Wright followed with refer
ences to India's infant mortality and
the alleged debasement of the popu-
lation through the use of opium. MIR.
Clayton asked for specific references
and Mrs. Wright replied she would
bring the documents later.
THE opium consumption of India
is just a trife below that of the
United States" Mr.. Clayton retorted.
Mrs Wright has told us that they
cannot control the drug trade in the
United States because of the contra
band problem. In India there is no
contraband problem. All the opium
produced and consumed is covered by
our government figures, which India
has published for 60 years. 1t seems
to me the delegates from the United
States should examine the document 8
a little more carefully or keep little
more up to date.
