AMERICAN OPIUM STAND
PROTEST FOR IDEALISM
Withdrawal Serves Notice on World That
United States Does Not Consider Prob
lem of Drug Evil Solved by Agreement. {.

being what form of protest would be
most effective.
The opium problem is complicated.
Twenty eight nations have lined up
with the American point of view.
Great Britain and nine others are
opposed. The British have India as
their great obstacle to an agreement
with America. For the sake of India
the British are fighting against the
control of opium production.
From the British viewpoint it is an
internal matter, just as the Irish
question was for so many years until
the public opinion of America and
other countries entered the forum.
Undoubtedly some of the strict ma
tionalists in America will agree with
Great Britain that domestic matters
are domestic matters after all, and
that the United States would be the
hrSt to resent the recommendations
of an international conference that
trade between America and it's pos
session, the Philippines, be subject
to outside control. Yet there comes
time when the mere regulation of
external commerce is not sufficient
to stop at the source an evil that
knows no frontiers. And this has
been the argument of Mr.. Porter for
the American delegation.
Two BIocs Formed.
The opium bloc" in the conference
at Geneva consists of Great Britain,
France, Holland and Portugal, while
those sympathetic with America in
clude Japan, China, Canada and the
South American countries. From the
first it has been apparent that the
subject would not be solved by a
ma ri V
ton can withdraw from the confer
ence and refuse to be bound by the
agreements. For many weeks the
United States has been the aggressor
and it has seemed as if a forcing OF
the American viewpoint would simply
break up. the conference and compel
the opium countries to withdraw. The
United States bided it's time instead
and when it was time for the agree
ment to be signed withdrew. The
other nations will unquestionably ap-
prove the compromise pact which has
been drafted America is in SYM
pathy with all that it contains, but
insists il doesn't go far enough. From
a practical standpoint the co-opera-
ton of the United States for what
the agreement does cover is assured
anyhow, whether or not signature is
attached later. The important fact
is that America let's the whole world
know that the question of opium con-
troll is still unsolved and fixes the re-
sponsibility plainly on the nations
which have consistently blocked reg
ulation.
An interesting thing is that both
Japan and China are as eager as
America to have the drug evil stopped.
