THE OPIUM TRAFFIC
JAPANESE TOLEIMXCE
"AN UNFRIENDLY ACT"
(Received May 29, 9.45 a.m.)
GENEVA, May 28.
Mr. Stuart Fuller, the American State Department's Far Eastern Division, addressing the League of Nation's Advisory Committee on Opium! said that the conditions in the East were largely due to Japan's failure to take real steps to stamp out the evil. Japan's tolerance of the opium traffic was an unfriendly act towards the United States, Canada, China, and Mexico.
"As Japanese influence advances in the Far East the drug traffic goes with it," he declared. "Japan and her possessions are a haven of refuge for callous Japanese and Koreans who are successfully and blithely poisoning their fellow-men for gain."
