A medical missionary in China
for 20 years and a witness Of the
start of Japan's use of opium as a
weapon OF war in occupied zones,
Rep Judd disclosed that before
the San Francisco conference on
inter ional organization
he called at the state department
in behalf of proposed instructions
10 the American delegation 10
work for the insertion IN the
framework of the United Nations
charter of opium control ma
chinery similar 10 that OF the old
League of Nations. He said:
81 was informed that the
charter would not contain what
the department referred 90 as
'substantative mat tters, but
would merely be a constitution
and set of bylaws for the world
association.
CALLED SUBSTANTIVE
''0pium, they assured me,
would be a y u b tanta tive
matter
"Yet I see now that the
nearly complete charter con-
tains a long list of matters Just
as 'substantative' as opium
control.
DR.. Judd said that. shifting
from the inconsistency of the
state department 10 the specious
actions and language at San Fran
cisco, he found the authors of the
charter there saying that il is
"tacitly understood" that opium
control will be within the province
of the world organizations social
and economic council.
II would like an answer To
the question of why all these
other 'substantative matters
can be named in the charter.

congressman said.
LABOR, OPIUM IGNORED
OF the great world problems,
only labor and opium are un-
in the charter as so
far drafted, he pointed out.
II can understand the split
on labor issues, but l have TO
look for the concealed profit

WORLD ADDICTION SEEN
To-day at San Francisco is
the appropriate time and place
to reach the agreement, and
the charter is the logical docu-
ment," he said.
"The words opium control

word health In the charters
