OPIUM CONF FERENCE
TENSION RELIEVED
French Proposal Tempers
Crisis Between British
and U. S. Delegates.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, January 21.-The crisis
in the international opium confer
ence threatened through failure OF
the British and the American dele
gates to agree on proposition for
the suppression of opium smoking in
the Far East seemed somewhat tenn
pered at the conclusion of this morn
ing's session as the result of media
tion by France.
This took the form of a new pro-
posal by Edouard Daladier, French
minister of colonies, that the various
countries engaged to abolish opium
smoking within Is years after the
council of the League of Nations
has officially recorded the fact that
the growth of opium in the pro-
ducing countries has shown an ap-
preciable reduction.
China Curb Limit Set.
The French plan gives China two
years to curb her production and
provides for the league council max
ing an investigation the third year
to determine whether the reduction
was appreciable.
The conference adjourned until 4
pm, with the opinion prevailing that
the French measure of Cancellation
had somewhat eased the situation.
The American proposal was original
ly for a 10-year limit for the sup
preston of smoking, beginning at
once, modified yesterday to make the
period Is years, while the British
suggestion was that the 15-year limit
for suppression start with the disap-
pearance of the smuggling danger.
Lord Cecil argued that the Ameri-
can proposal TO eliminate authorized
opium smoking in the Far East
within a definite period of years,
beginning now, was overidealistic
and impossible to carry out because
of the huge smuggling possibilities,
for if the colonies of the various
governments stopped importing opium
for legalized smoking the action
would cause an immediate increase
in smuggling and a worse smoking
evil everywhere.
Lord Cecil insisted that Representa-
tive Stephen G. Porter of Pennsyl-
vania. head of the American delega- :
tion, had failed to face this fact, and
had practically confined himself to
charging that the obligation imposed
