u. n. Members Fight
Narcotics Trade, Even
Using Troops, Planes
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, June 1.-THE
United Nations are carrying on a
war against drug smugglers and
clandestine manufacturers.
In Mexico and China it has been
a real war, involving use Of troops
and even airplanes. In the United
States, Canada, India and several
Far Eastern countries it is the con-
tinued cold war of the customs and
narcotics agents against the smug-
glers.
The Chinese government mobil-
lied as many as 10000 troops; Mex
leo put in the field some TOO soldiers,
10 planes, scores Of Federal and mar
cotics inspectors.
Reports Of these activities re-

operation because dope rings in
those countries were encouraging
the trade. Raw opium in Indian
ports is cheap, about $40 pound,
but the value is about $500 when it
shows up in American or Canadian
ports.
Mexican opium yields what is
called brown heroin. The stuff, de-
pending on the demand and the
place, reaches fancy prices per
ounce: As much as 5000 by the
time 1t reaches Vancouver through
New York and Toronto.

were In the northern states Of
Sonora. Sinaloa and Chihuahua
and In Lower California, easy to
reach by small plane from points
In Arizona, Texas and California.
The war goes on and is being
pressed with vigor. Cavalry, infan-
try and air force units have per-
manent assignments as dope de-
stroyers. Border vigilance is tighter,
too.
The campaign costs money In
more ways than one. For example,
Iran has no war of this type, but
it lost $39, 9,000. 900 In revenue from
opium it used to sell before 1t

New Pacts Being Made.
More than 40 nations have &C.

League Of Nations. Still newer pacts,
to control use and production OF
synthetic drugs-not covered IN pre-
vious accords-now are being signed.
China reported on results Of a
six-year campaign to suppress the
cultivation Of the type of poppy
which yields opium.
Farmers in the Chinese provinces
of Hupeh, Kansu and Shensi were
persuaded to cultivate other crops,
such as tung oil, corn and tea. Tung
oil has great demand for export.
But what the government calls
an "uncivilized tribe" in the noun

Szechwan would not cooperate.
These people, called the Yee-Mings,
thought they had a good thing and
refused to give it up.
Plantations Destroyed.
The area is large and communi-
cations are bad, except for the mys-

the government sent some 10000

Personally, | can't understand why
SO many people favor UNIT and drafts,

Dear Sir:-Having read your letter
in the Peoples Voice of June 9TH,
don't see where you ever got the
idea of voting for such a cock-eyed
thing as the Mundt-NixOn fascist

your disregard for the wishes of the
general public. If this was an over
sight on your part, you owe the people
an apology which should be forth
coming and soon. Your letter in the
Voice only helped to show people
how rotten the bill really is. You
seem to have overlooked the implied
guilt by association contained in the
bill.
No doubt you will know more about
that when you get back to Montana

in Washington.

For then they could put guilt by asso-

thing to think about.

Mundt-Nixon bill to be a mistake on
your part So an apology from you

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
Since so many people are still firm
ly convinced that we need a peace
time draft | would like to call their
attention to some statements made by
important people:
Having fought two world wars in
one generation, the American public
almost overnight can be put into a
mood to fight a third one; even Re-
publican congressman who have been
yelling their heads off for years about
debt and national spending, join the
stampede and appropriate billions
more than the military leaders asked
for; and only month after the wild
furore Washington wants the public
to switch from war to a peace
psychology and wants this for purely
political reasons" Vardis Fisher in
Idaho Statesman.
He Should Worry-He's Chiefly
Responsible For 1t
President Truman is somewhat
disturbed by the way the idea of
imminent war hangs on in this coun-
try even after the official line has
changed from war scares to more
emphasis on peace" from the U. S.
News.
But why shouldn't we suspect inn
minent war when a draft of our young
men is called for? Always drafts
have followed declarations of war
now it must be that they are to pre-
cede war, since rapid action is nee
essary
Trygve Lie tells us frankly that
the UN is the only hope because it
is the worlds only instrument for pre-
venting another war in which there
could be no victor, no vanquished, but
only universal destruction for both
sides and for all humanity"
Why Did We Back Away From
Our Peace Talks Proposal
Yet when Russia accepted our
peace overture on May II and offered |
to meet and talk over difficulties !
with our state department Truman |
and Marshall backed down. disgrace
fully. Why? Could it be they wanted |
US to think they were anxious for
peace but they expected Russia to re-
fuse? Their baby is an expanded |
army and peace with Russia would
make ii unnecessary. Or did Truman
get orders from our financial rulers !
to cut out sentiment?

ments against a draft:
