Madrid Teaches
World How Drug
Menace Is Cured

GENEVA, Jan. 17.-tPl-Spain is
believed TO have shown the way TO
carry on the fight against Illicit traf-
fic in narcotic drugs.
The League of Nations has receiv-
ed notification of a royal decree at
Madrid which establishes the list Of
narcotics affected by the new Span
ish law on drugs. The decree puts
the importation OF narcotics into
Spain, and their distribution. into
the hands Of a state bureau. thereby
virtually creating a state monopoly
for their purchase, importation and
distribution.
But by the royal decree listing
the authorized narcotics in Spain Is
regarded here as having notably
strengthened the fight against the
opium evil and given an impetus to
the principle which the United
States has long fought for, namely.
the restriction OF the amount of
manufactured drugs to the worlds
medical and scientific requirements.
In forecasting SPANS action,
Senior Casares, the Spanish delegate.
told the last League assembly that in
taking upon itself entire responsible
ity for everything relating to the
purchase and sale or narcotic drugs.
the Spanish government had not
taen an egoistic measure merel- de-
signed to safeguard its own people.
The Indian delegate said he would
be glad IL other countries would
follow SPANS example.

evinced concern over the rapid de-
pletion OF food fish along the coast
Men who have made a close study
of the situation express the opinion
that il Senator Holbrookss bill be-
comes law. il will be only a few years
until choice fish. such as the gull
trout and red fish, become as album
dant as they were when this section
was first settled.
1t was pointed out that the great
est injury 10 coastal fishing grounds
from SEEMING and netting does not
come from the number OF adult fist
taken in that way. In some locali'
ties SEEMING has actually become less
productive than pole and disturbance
of spawning beds. The destruction
of spawns and young fish and thu
frightening Of adult fish into thu
deeper waters Of the gulf is the reaI
damage.
The effect Of this disturbance In
the spawning ground is also observ.
ed to q marked extent in the le~ssened
number OF fish taken in the gull
itself.

is anticipated from commercial fish.
