(Received this day at 11 a.m.) LONDON, November 4
Eleven delegates, representing the, Governments of countries where dangerous drugs are manufactured, are sitting in London under the chairmanship of Sir Malcolm Delevingne, Home Office, considering an international plan to fight illicit dope traffic.
The Medical Committee of the League of; Nations' have already arrived at the conclusion that world’s legitimate annual needs of medical opium, morphine, codein, cocaine and heroin does not exceed 84| tons. Production at present is greatly in excess to that and the Conference hopes to fix the quota to be manufactured in various countries. If this is arranged the task of smugglers will be rendered vastly difficult.
