which have started talk In Europe

Admiral zenker outlined his views
further In detail:
"The British navy is still superior
to any other navy Of the world,
but England knows that, around
1884, when the new American
cruiser program viii have been
executed, her supremacy win have
ceased automatically, and an actual
parity Of the United States and
the British navies, II not q slight
superiority OF the United States
Navy viii have been reached.
II sympathize with American pes
sifnism regarding the possible re-
suits Of coming preliminary disar-
mament conferences. American
statesmen undoubtedly arose from
the washington conference table
with the conviction that, through
the provisions Of the disarmament
treaty, the United States had
reached. there and then, an actual
parity with the British, and that
their dreams about q fleet second
to none have, at last material
lied.
Nothing to Fear
They shared the illusion that
disarmament Of all classes of war
craft would follow the agreement
about powerful ships, and they
naturally feel disappointed that the
deadlock over further naval dis
armaslent continues.
But why should the United
States worry? 1t can sit tight and

DOPE IMPORTS

America is not alone In importing
legally each year opium ~ excess

ments set BY the League of Ma,

Practically an other powers Of the
world. figured on 4 per eapita
basis. are even worseN offenders.
Some Conceal Facts
At Geneva the League has es-
tablished q board to collect statis-
tics on the international opium
traffic. The results 80 Tar have.
not been as successful az antici-
pated because several nations fatty
refuse TO cooperate. Notable in
this respect are Hollapd. Persia
and Turkey
"A fairly comprehensive picture
Of opium imports, however, was
given IN the last official report.
It showed imports as follows:
America, II tons: Germany. 1z6
tons: Great Britain. 4S tons; Neither.
lands East Indies. 200 tons; French
Indo-C China. 144 tons; italy, tons:

can officials to bear out their
charge that most Of the dope
smuggled into the United States
comes from drug factories in
Europe.
Easy to Get Supplies
with drugs produced In such
excessive quantities. It is easy, Off
cials point out. for dope traffickersi
to obtain vast supplies for the de-
graduation Of American addicts.
Former Secretary Of State Kellogg
took cOgnizance Of this traffic
when, in declining to appoint an
American to the league board, he
said:
'The United states recognizes
that the traffic In narcotic drugs
can be controlled only by interna.
tional cooperation.
The American imports between
1926 and 1927 were increased from
107,747 pounds to 142. 2.139 pounds.
That portion OF the League re-
port dealing with the United StateSl
cites this reason for the boost:
The increase in imports was due
principally to- the necessity for
replenishing manufacturers depleted
stocks OF narcotic drugs on hand.
such depletion being due to some
what too close limitation Of opium
imports in preceding years.
