Opium Plank
Detroit Times wAshlnr.on Bsr,.s

WASHINGTON, June 23-A
difficult and dreary struggle Of
many years to save millions from
the narcotic habit will start next
week unless the San Francisco
United Nations conference writes
an opium control clause into its
charter, Rep. Judd (R) Of Mime
sofa asserted today.
Hope of overall world regula-
tion through the new international
organization probably will vanish
forever if the conference. now In
its last days, adopts the charter
without the amendment. Judd
said.
He asserted II would mean that
nations drawing huge revenues
from narcotics are determined not
to place control OF production
under the world organization and
would signify they have sufficient
strength to keep a control amend
ment out Of the charter in the
future as well as now.
Antinarcotic agencies of the
world can resort only to a move
ment to bring world opium con-
troll about by the interminable
process of individual treaty nego-
tiation. the congressman stated.
The tediousness OF what we
will at once face IL tho San
Francisco meeting fails" he
went on, ''is demonstrated by
the fact that my resolution CALI
ing on all nations to agree to
confine narcotics production to
the actual needs of medicine and
science, adopted by Congress
and signed by tho President one
year ago, has 30 far received
ratification by only one foreign

during this period will greatly add

get out of hand now, farm prices may
nose-dive while many items of farm

Many farmers still remember what
happened after World War l when
farm land prices scared. Savings of
lifetime may be lost if price con-

farmers but also returning war vet
Grams may be the victims of exhor-

"As rapidly as the war effort per-

be tempered by speedy expansion
and resumption of production to

said. "But controls are needed until
supplies again are adequate to meet
requirements at reasonable prices.
Additional controls, particularly to
limit and discourage land speculation
are in order.'
