tack upon the attitude of the United

in the New Statesman.
American authorities have taken
up d queer attitude which we suppose
10 be due partly to their ignorance of
the facts, partly to their Puritan
tradition which exceeds and even
eXalts such ignorance and partly be-
cause they want to find sCapegoat
for their own failure to prevent the
rapidly increasing use in the United
States of derivatives from Chinese
opium the paper says.
The result at any rate has been the
adoption of quite an impossible atti-
tude on the part of the American
delegation in Geneva
The crucial question is the ability
OF the Chinese government to give
effect to it's undoubted desire to pro
hibit poppy growing, and It is strange
Americans should not realize this
more especially since their heroin anC
morphia come almost entirely from
China, and not at all from India.
