CONTROL OF DRUGS
Urged TO CURB THEIR MISUSE
New York Ex-Police Head Says Efforts to Stop
Smuggling Are Futile, and Only Solution Is
for Nations to Take Over Factories.

smuggled; none comes from American
factories. 1 am told that in England
the situation is also under adequate
government control. with similar
gratifying results. The solution of the
problem is, therefore, as is so often
the case with problems, to strike at
the root-to control the production.
The smuggled product costs about
81 a grain, and when it is realized
that the average addict requires about
eight grains a day you can see what
the effect of strict Government
regulation would be.
The vital thing is. therefore, that
the manufacture and distribution of
derivatives of opium and the coca
leaf should be permitted only in
trolled by the government. Adequate
control means control which should
regulate the amount of the raw mate
rial entering the factory, and should
supervise the distribution of every
thing that goes out of the factory, to
insure its getting into hands that
would use 1t for medical and scientific
purposes alone.
This would deal a deathblow to the
habit forming use of these deadly
drugs, whose baneful effects it is
difficult to exaggerate. They are just
as bad as they are painted. At the
same time 1t would not interfere with
their production for legitimate
purposes. and. of course, their use for
the relief of pain is widespread and
most beneficent. 1t is only the abuse
Of drugs that we must stop, and not
their proper medical use

BY COL. ARTHUR WOOD.

Former Police Commissioner of New York.
The smuggling Of morphine and
cocaine is one of the most difficult
things in the world to prevent. On
account Of the concentrated nature
of the drugs and the consequent
possibility Of concealing them in every
kind of container, smuggling is easy.
Also 1t brings great profit to the
smuggler. To try along the lines now
in existence in different countries to
do away with 1t, however. Is good
deal like trying to keep down the tide
with a broom.
Looking at the thing purely from
the police point OF view. 1t is clear
that there is a way to meet this
difficulty that would stop 1t completely.
You cannot make morphine or
cocaine in your kitchen or backyard:
a substantial establishment is required.
a large factory. There are less than
90 such factories in the world, and
they are confined mostly to five
countries: the United States. England.
Switzerland Germany and Japan. In
the United States there is what seems
TO be an effective regulation of the
production and distribution. Of these
drugs. with the result that the num-
Illicit channels in our country is
