DRUGS FROM JAVA
ILLICIT TRAFFIC WITH EUROPE (Australian and N.Z. Press Association.) LONDON, Tuesday. The Geneva correspondent of “The Times” says the Netherlands delegate, addressing the League of Nations Committee on the drug traffic, said the Dutch Consul-General at Shanghai had reported that Java was being used as the transit centre for the illicit traffic between Europe and the East. The German delegate admitted that the number of cases of male addicts treated in German sanatoria had doubled, and those of women increased by 150 per cent., but he said that did not indicate that the habit was spreading. The drug was difficult to procure, and addicts were now trying to cure themselves of the habit.
