dren by vicious dope rings.
Every bit Of heroin in the
United States is here illegally.
The United States outlawed
the drug in 1924. It is not
needed for medicinal purposes,
as there are other drugs that
do the job as well or better.
Actually, only 500 tons Of raw
opium are required for the
medicinal needs Of the entire
world. Yet in 1850 Communist
China alone dumped 500 tons
on the market; and in 1852
she grew 1000 tons.
AS q matter Of fact. most Of
the worlds opium is grown in
Red China. The nations per-
mitted to export it under in
ternational agreement are Bull
garia, Greece, India, Iran, Tur-
key, Soviet Russia and Yugo-
slavia. The increase in the
narcotics traffic is due to two
things-the revenue that can
be realized from the sale Of
opium grown in countries with
a depressed economy; and the
use Of opium as a deliberate
political weapon to demoralize
youth in countries on the Red
agenda for conquest. These
two factors are the cause Of
most of our troubles with the
evil traffic against which all
our forces Of law and decency
are arrayed.

years when he was President,
he took no salary for himself,
but gave most of the $500. 900
to charity and returned the
rest to the Treasury of the
United States. Every dollar he
has ever drawn from the Gov
eminent has gone to help his
fellow man.
The keynote Of Mr.. Hoover's
life has been service. He gave
up his work as a mining en-
gineer to take hold Of the great.
task Of organizing the relief of
Belgium after, 1t had been dew
astated in World, War /. He
