TREATY LIMITS
NARCOTICS TO
LEGAL USES
International Agreement Effec-
tive Today Strikes Blow
at Traffic in Dope
BY International News Service
BY proclamation Of President

BY proclamation of President
Roosevelt, the United States to.
day was committed to the most
important international agree
ment for the suppression Of the
dope evil that has even been
signed.
It is the convention for limit
ing the manufacture and regulat-
ing the distribution of narcotic
drugs. It's purpose is to limit
the manufacture of narcotics to
the demands Of medicine and
science and strike a deadly blow
at the illicit traffic in drugs by
strict supervision of production
and distribution.
Bureau To Be In Control
It provides for the establish
ment of a bureau for interna-
tional supervision of the drug
traffic, under which all nations
will announce their medical and
scientific needs in narcotics.
Manufacture will be restricted to
the total figure required. I'M
porting nations may purchase
their supplies wherever they
please, under competitive condi-
tions, but they must supply the
international bureau with a pub
lie statement of their require
ments and restrict the latter to
medicinal and scientific needs.
The convention became effec-
tive yesterday, so days after the
signing by the last of the IS re-
quired Signators. President Roose-
velt's proclamation made binding
the ratification of the convention
by the Senate on March 81.
First Nation to Ratify
The United States has led a
long and vigorous fight for the
treaty. 1t was the first nation
to ratify it and then launched q
movement abroad to bring the
manufacturing nations into line.
Great Britain, France, Germany,
Holland, Switzerland and Turkey,
the manufacturing States,
strongly opposed it. They pre-
feTed another system of restrain
ing manufacture.
Finally, the manufacturing
nations were persuaded to join
up and the convention eventually
was ratified or approved by 80
countries.
merican ratification was
accompanied by a reservation en-
powering this Government to i'm
pose even Stricter measures for
control Of the drug traffic within
the United States than provided
for in the convention.

Ickes Sees Millions of Jobs
Just Ahead; His View Is
Opposed to Douglas Plan =

Millions Of jobs for now idle
workers is the first objective Of
fthe $4,000, 100000 public works
program, Secretary of the Interior
Harold I. Ickes, newly appointed
director Of public works, said to
day, in explaining the policies he
will follow.
He promised swift action. He
said:
Recent gratifying gains in
industry and employment do not
Justify curtaiIment or slowing
up Of employment program un-
til those gains are secured and
consolidated. When conditions
justify, expenditure for public
works will be ended promptly"
ANSWER TO DOUGLAS
This is interpreted here as a re.
ply to demands from some of
President Roosevelt's close advis-
ers, including Director of the Bud,
get Lewis Douglas, that the pro-
gram be hedged somewhat in
view of the already visible i'm
provement.
+ Ickes said all projects were
now being studied closely. He ex-
plained:
To-day the Public Works Ad-
ministrati0n is deluged by a
vast number of demands which
do not qualify under the intent
of the act. The worthy are
being separated from the un-
worthy. The determining fac
tor in awarding allOtments
must be merit and not push"
DECENTRALIZATION
Mere work-making ideas are
not to be encouraged, he said.
The test of a projects merit will
be its public usefulness and it's
ability to maintain itself as such.
He promised early decentraliza-
tion of the administrative part
of the work, and establishment
of machinery for distribution of
Sunds to non-Federal projects,
which includes municipal, county,
or state developments.
Meanwhile Harry L. Hopkins,
Federal relief administrator, whose
Job this winter will be to pro-
vide relief for those not on
public works or other payrolls,
warned that States must do their
share. also.
He said:
STATES MUST ACT
Apparently a few States did
not believe the President re-
Gently when he pointed out that
It is essential for States and
local units of Government to
finance a reasonable share of
their emergency relief work."
He told a conference of State re-
lief executives:
"SOme States are due for a
rude shock in the very near
future if they do not come
through with action"
He declared there have got to
be some special sessions of State
legislatures. The Federal emer-
gency relief means business"
Hopkins said there is nothing
sacred about these State taxes,
gasoline taxes for instance, and
no reason why these revenues
should not be applied to feeding
the unemployment sufferers"
