INDIANS SUPPORT
. u. S. OPIUM STAND
Narcotic Declared Not Used
by HinduS or Mohamme-
dams in Religion.
BY HAL O'FLAHERTY.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
LONDON, January 29.-Representa- :
tive Indians of both the Hindu and
Mohammedan faiths support the
American plan for restricting the
growth and use of opium and deny
that their faiths impose any opllSd-
tion to use narcotics.
According to a statement made by
Vtshnu r. Karandikar. a Hindu priest
living in London, efforts to prove that
the social and religious customs In
India make the use of opium obliga-
tory have been proved to be rtdfcu-
lous by the well known fact that
opium was never cultivated in India
until the time of the Moghul rulers
at Delhi who found it profitable.
For centuries before that time, the
Hindus and Mohammedans practiced
their religions without narcotics"
said Mr.. Karandikar. During the de-
bates of the Indian national assem-
bly, this week, il was stated In behalf
of the Indian government, that opium
is necessary for India. making the
problem quite different from that of
other countries. Two members, one
a Hindu and the other a Mohamme-
dan, instantly replied, supporting the
view set forth by the American dele
Sates at Geneva.
Back American Stand.
Each insisted that the majority of
the Indians felt that drastic restric-
+ion of the growth of opium was nee
essary and urged the government to
support the American contentious.
Il can speak as a Hindu and give
assurance that not a single cere-
monial connected with our religion
enjoins the use of narcotics. We alb
hor alcohol Even the peculiar sect
known as the party of the left hand
path never used opium.
The word for opium in old Sanskrit
IS 'ahipen,' meaning 'froth of the
COBRA and is considered equally dan
gerous by our people. The heavy tax
alton imposed upon the Indians
makes the reluctance of the govern
ment to abolish opium growing un-
derstandable. Their objections are
financial and not religious or social"

COAST
 SURVEY IS MADE
Work Is Almost Finished on
 Important Mapping

Manila, June 2.-The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey ex- poets to complete within a few years the work of surveying all the coasts and adjacent waters of the Philip pine Island and bring to a close a task that has been under way since American occupation nearly 27 years ago, Commander W. E. Parker, chief Of the division of hydrography and topography, declared recently upon his arrival from Washington. Com mander Parker comes as the per- sonal representative of Colonel E. Lester Jones, director of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, and expects to remain in the Philip pines several months.
 Tt is the desire of the govern ment to complete the surveys of the Philippine coasts and waters" said Commander Parker.
 "The areas which have not yet been chartered are the west coast of Palawan, the southern half of the Sulu Sea to Borneo, the Sulu Archi- pelago. south Mindanao, northern Luzon to Bashl Channel, almost to Formosa, and the west coast Of Lu- zon from Cape Engano to Casiguran Bay. The most important Of these areas, Judging from a commercial standpoint, will be surveyed first.
 "As to the importance Of the task we are about 10 undertake, it can not be overestimated. It Is likely to result in the change of steamer routes, will make navigation safer in these waters, and will change the status Of the areas from one of un- known waters to one well chartered and entirely safe to navigation"
 These waters not only will be chartered, but a complete photo graphic record of them is to be made by airplane. When the actual work begins the survey party will be accompanied by air forces Of the army, who will prepare for photo graphing the entire coast by air plane.
