sorry that he is leaving.
Before leaving Mr. Crockett call

Strike At The Source

To curb the traffic in habit
forming drugs, an international
conference was held in Switzer-
land. The American delegates
wanted to strike directly at the
heart of The problem. They
wanted limitation of the grow
ing of the poppy, cocoa plant
and other raw materials that
furnish drugs for addicts.
Gould any way be more d.
rect and sensiblep
1t is too direct to suit coun-
tries at make big profits out
of growing the raw materials.
They had the same proposal put
up TO them a year ago. Result:
They're side-stepping, talking
about curbing manufacture of
drugs, appointing committees
j. anything to avoid curtailing
the output of raw materials.
AS long as the poppy and
other raw materials for drugs
are grown, they'll be made into
drugs.
1t wouldn't, by the way. be
difficult to put on the brakes.
The growing of ra wmaterials
for drugs is a highly organized
industry. Opium farming is a
common occupation in the
Orient.
CURLING murder is a problem
strikingly similar to curbing the
drug traffic. AS long as pistols
are manufactured and sold by
mail to any one with the price
pistols will be used to kill.
Local or state regulations
such as compelling registration
and police permits for revolver
purchase and possession, are
easily frustrated by buying
from a mail order house that
sells concealable firearms.
It's a problem in interstate
commerce and it should be end
ed by the proper interstate
egency-a national law.
There's an organized hue and
cry against this proposal. Quite
naturally, for moneys to be
made in the manufacture and
sale, all along the line.
The mainstay of the propa-
ganda is that ban on sale of
pistols except to officers of the
law would disarm the law-abad-
ing householder. Nonsensel He
could protect his home with a
rifle or sawed-off shotgun
which cannot be carried con-
cealed through the streets by
murderers and thieves.
The quickest way to control
anything is to abolish its exist
ence. Stop making pistols and
you stop murder by pistol.
Stop growing opium, except
enough for legitimate medical
purposes, and you stop the drug
traffic.
The tiger will bite as long as
he has teeth. Why waste time
trying to muzzle him?
