FAVOR PORTER
DRUG BILL

The medical delegation" to the
United States Senate today gave
its unanimous endorsement to the
two Porter bills to tighten up on
the narcotic laws and make 1t
harder to procure habit-forming
drugs in the United States.
Senator Royal s. Copeland CD
Of New York and Senator Henry
d. Hatfield (R.) West Virginia
are urging the passage Of the
measures introduced by Repre-.
sentative Porter as an adjunct to
the health Of the nation and an
aid to United States District At.
torneys in convicting violators.
CentraIize Agencies
The first of the Porter bills
would centralize all governmental
narcotic activities and require the
Surgeon General Of the Public
Health Service to report to Con-
gress each year the amount Of
crude opium and cocoa leaves re-
Quired for legitimate Gispensation
in the United States the follow
ing calender year.
The second would prohibit the
licensing of physicians, dentists
and druggists to administer or
prescribe narcotic drugs who are
addicts themselves, or who have
ever been convicted Of violating
the narcotic laws of the United
States or any State thereof. It
Is estimated that, if passed, this
law will affect 1000 Of the 323, 900
registered physicians.
Senator Copeland, physician
and former health commissioner
Of New York, said:
'The two Porter bills are fine
administrative measures, intro
duced by a man who knows the
subject, through long labor upon
it, as perhaps no other legislator
AOCSs
Limit Poppy Growth
II believe there is never to be a
complete solution Of this problem
until other countries, particularly
England, agrees to stop or limit
the growth of the poppy. To that
end, the bill provides that three
doctors from the Public Health
Service be appointed to determine
the amount of narcotics which
are legitimately used each year,
so that the United States can have
a basis for stating its needs in in
ternational opium conferences.
"I have plead with the United
States Narcotic Board for years
to find out this amount, and I
think it is vital to know it. The
dope must be stopped at its source,
as its bulk makes it so easy to
Smuggle.
There can be no doubt Of the
wisdom Of the bill vesting power
in a Federal bureau to revoke or
suspend the narcotic dispensing
licenses of physicians who have
been convicted Of violating the
narcotic laws or who are addicts
themselves. These men constitute

Senator Hatfield, also a physi-
clan, said:
''The Porter narcotic bills Strike
at the root of the dope evil as it
exists in the United States today.
AN accurate estimate Of mar
cotics used legitimately in the
United States is badly needed,
since the medical profession is
using less and less each year.
