FARMER RELIEF
PROGRAM IS
ATTACKED
Walton Peteet, of Corpora
tive Association, Heard BY
Senate Committee

The farm relief program recon-
mended by the Presidents agriclI-
tural commission was denounced
yesterday before the Senate Agricul.
ture Committee by Walton Peteet,
secretary Of the National Council of
Cooperative Marketing Associa-
lions.
Peteet charged the President's
program would make agriculture a
Government ward and would not
provide actual relief.
mo matter how beneficial is the
Design of this program, it is an
Intrusion of government AMI a dis
elimination that does not apply to
other lines Of business said Mr..
Peteet.
The cooperative associations
said Petteet, oppose the creation
of Federal boards either to super
wise or regulate their activities
The effect Of such regulations he
said, would be to injure rather
than to help cooperative market
ing.
"Give the farmer a chance to
work out his own salvation, >
Detteet declared. He can do II
and that's the only way toward
permanent relief"

DECLINE IN

tinue Under Drastic Rules
Enforced
By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH,

By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH,
Narcotic drug addicts in this
country number from 10000 to
100000, the United States Public
Health Service announced today,
following an extensive survey.
Wide publicity given the evils
of drug addiction, cooperation of
physicians and the savage attack
against dope traffic by the Fed.
eral and State governments has
reduced addicts from the approxi-
mate 264, 900 of a few years ago,
officials asserted.
Decrease TO Continue.
I'VE may confidently look for.
ward to the time, not many years
distant, when the few remaining
addicts viii be persons taking
opium because Of an incurable dis
ease and addicts of the psyche
pathic delinquent type, who spend
most of : their lives in prison, .
Doctor Lawrence Kolb, Of the Pub.
lie Health Service, said.
In connection with the statement
the narcotic division Of the prohibit
ton unit, charged with enforcement
Of the Harrison law, announced
cent of the 1900 cases taken to
court resulted in convictions. A
total Of 5.02S years Imprisonment:
was imposed in narcotic cases.
A considerable quantity Of habit
forming drug is still struggled into
the country, the Mexican AMI
Canadian borders and the ports Of
New York and San Francisco be-
ing the chief entry points, it was
stated.
Legitimate Imports.
A legitimate importation Of ap-
proximately $50, 900 pounds annu.
ally Is permitted by the Federal
narcotic control board, consisting
OF Secretary Of State Hughes, Ser
rotary Of the Treasury Mellon, and
Secretary of Commerce Hoover.
The Public Health Service said the
legitimate importation is believed 70
be only slightly in excess of
medicinal needs.
The narcotic division said thar
tlleg1tfmate sources Of dope virtual
~ is confined to the underworld of
AAO OAE CAtAC6 anu DOIuOI uAVG6s
Peddlers were described as becom-
ing more cautious in the sale of
drugs. Prices range from 81 to 50
an ounce.
Spread Of the appetite for drugs
among school and college students
was declared by officials to be vast
~ exaggerated. They insisted that
addiction among persons under
twenty years Of age practically is
unknown.
Per Capita Consumption.
Per capita legitimate consump-
ton In representative nations was
given as follows:
Switzerland, 1915 grains; Canada,
81 grains: United States, S.4 grains;
Great Britain, 81 grains; Germany,
grains; Italy, S.75 grains.
The public health service said
that the greater number Of addicts
in prisons at present as compared
with former years is due to rigid
enforcement of the law and not
to an increase in the prevalence
Of addiction.
Few cases Of recent addiction can
be attributed to physicians, officials
said.

Glinpses Of Art Critics

Glimpses Of Art Critics
Ye Ed donned his Windsor tie
and blue socks yesterday after
noon, and went around to be a
judge in the contest for charity
inaugural ball posters.
1t all happened in a pretty
room at the Mayflower. There
was Mr.. Klots, the portrait paint
er, who was wearing, for the &C.
casion. his best critical manner.
And Mr.. Musgrave, who seemed
tall enough to touch the ceiling
at any minute, and was very
pleasant, speaking with a decided
British accent. And Miss Rainey
Of the Post And Mr.. Bergman,
Of the Star. And Yours Truly, as
we often facetiously refer to the
first person singular.
Mr.. Peaslee, who had picked
the distinguished judges, was ar
ranging the posters for our critical
faculties to work upon. Mrs.
Father, Of the poster committee,
was also busy. And Mrs. Dough-
erty and Mrs. Walker.
But the judges looked very
stern and analytical, and the
students who had piled in to
watch our critical faculties at
work seemed duly impressed.
Mr.. Musgrave and Ye Ed
somehow got to talking about
shop. and, says he:
81 seen your name before,
somewhere, Ring. Don't you
ah-don't you have one Of these
-ah-little journeys in the
papers?"
1 admitted, as Harry Ward IL
wont to say, the mild impeach-
ment.
by Georger' exclaimed Mr..
Musgrave. in his very likeable
manner. "I've always wanted to
meet one Of you men who do such
things. How you ever imagine
everything you writer"
well, in my own case" we
responded, IT don't imagine
everything. Often, I get my ma
terial in conversations just such
as this. In fact, It sometimes
takes me only half an hour to
do my columns in the morning."
Then we did our judging, and
Mr.. Klots invited us all to come
and see his NJ street studio.
This column, we say truthfully,
and particularly to Mr.. Mus
grave. was written in fifty min
utes, and now it is quite long
enough.
