THINK U. S. ACTION HAsTY.
British Regret Withdrawal on Eve
of Farley Success.
By the Associated Press

Lne Associated PreSS.
LONDON, February 7-Regret was
expressed in diplomatic circles here
today over Americas withdrawal
from the international opium confer
ence at Geneva. 1t was contended.
however, that the American delega-
tion withdrew just when the confer
ence was on the verge of attaining
success.
While at the same time appreciat-
ing the difficulties of other countries,
1T is understood the British govern
ment adheres to the belief that opium
could be more effectively controlled
through factories and distributing
channels rather than through it's pro-
duction. The British authorities
argue that. with the proper interna-
tional cooperation, effective restric-
tions on the opium traffic could be
brought about in a short time after
a decision was reached

have so altered that they can see
their way to the common adoption
of measures that will lead to the
early total suppression of that legal
lied traffic which now is bringing
such misery and moral degradation
to hundreds of thousands of the cit
tzens of China living within their
respective territories"
After the announcement of the
Chinese withdrawal NJ Loudon
arose and commented on the with
drawal of the Chinese and Amer
lean delegations, particularly the lat
ter, saying the American action was
lare ely the result of misunderstand-
ing. At the outset of the opium nego-
tiattons two years ago, he recalled,
he had contended that the reaching
of an accord had been rendered
virtually impossible by the rigid in
structions which bound the American
delegation.
Mr.. Loudon insisted that irterna-
tional conference implied mutual con-
cessions and mutual good will, and
was destined to failure If one party
has as an imperative mandate the or
der to impose its will on the other
parties under the menace of rupture,
account of an eventual divergence of
views and of arguments which others
might advance"
Blnmes Porter Stand.
Mr.. Loudon said that If the discus
sion at the conference had been diff
cult and idle 1t was because Mr.. Por-
ter had never taken the trouble to ex-
plain his viewpoint or even to reply
to the arguments OF his opponents.
The Netherlands delegate criticized
the American negotiator on the
ground that on the question of the
consumption of narcotic drugs he had
exacted the collaboration of the pro-
ducing countries, while, on the other
hand, on the question of opium smok-
ing he not only neglected to insist
upon this collaboration, but went
so far as to argue that to stop opium
production the consuming countries
should take the initiative.
Mr.. Loudon declared that IL the
withdrawal of the Americans had
created the impression anywhere that
IT hurt the League of Nations such an
impression was altogether ill-founded.
All intelligent and impartial per-
sons he added, will admit that on
the questions treated here concilia-
ton was the dominating note among
dll with tne sole exception of that
delegation which retired when it per-
ceived that the thesis advanced by
the United States was not acceptable
to the majority. 1t retired despite nu-
merous concessions, and without
wishing to see a. cessation of the
progress achieved against the opium
evil, l am persuaded that if we had
made more concessions this proof of
weakness would have caused great
harm to the league"
