THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
THE REGULATION OF NARCOTICS
1 Further progress is reported ' from I the League of Nations in connection with the international campaign, j against the indiscriminate distribution' lof narcotics. A‘ plan has been adopted < whereby each country’s supply of drugs will be rationed in accordance with ita medicinal and scientific requirements. I It remains for the'various Governments to ratify it. Public opinion has been strengthening in favour of systematic warfare on the purveyors of narcotics, and it may be hoped, therefore, that tftere will he no serious obstacle to general ratification. Etven in that much-to-be-desired event, however, the back of the traffic would not by any means be broken. There would still remain io be dealt with the enormous highly remunerative illicit distribution, a matter for international police cooperation. . .
