Britain and France Continue
Selling "Dope" in Colonies;
Siam Host to Conference

BANKOK, Siam, Oct. Is CU.
S0.-The League of Nations is
maneuvering to make China the
"goat" of the conference on
opium smoking here in November,
and the powerful nations will con-
tinue selling opium.
If the conference does not sup
press the traffic, some nation
must take responsibility for the
Leagues failure, and since China
is weak, efforts are being made
by the League opium bloc to
faSten the guilt on her.
Great Britain sells dope. each
package-easily bought-carrying
a government stamp. Thousands
of pounds are ctewed annually
in India; equally enormous
amounts are smoked in British
Eastern colonies.
Back in SNUG England, this
isn't allowed. 1t means 10 years
In prison to be caught selling
dope. But things are different
here.
France sells dope, profiting
from opium dives all over Indo-
China.
Siam sells dope, and a League
report says of Siam, host OF this
conference:
"The great majority Of smOk-
erS in Siam are neither regis
tered, licensed nor ratiOned.
Anybody can enter smoking
establishment and purchase
opium. There is no limitation
as regards the quality that a
smoker may consume. AS re-
CARDS purchase and cOnSump-
tion of opium, no discrimina-
tion is made between men and
women"
