TRAFFIC IN OPIUM.
CONFERENCE OF NATIONS. LEAD BY AMERICA. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Oct. 1, 11.5 p.m. New York. Sept. 30. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times states that Mr. Stephen Porter, chairman of the House Committee of Foreign Affairs, following a conference with President Harding, at which they discussed the opium situation of the world, announced that immediately after the re-convening of Congress he will introduce a resolution asking for a pro-international conference of all nations producing opium. It is understood an investigation conducted by a committee composed of Mr. •C. E. Hushes (Secretary of State), Mr. Andrew Mellow (Secretary of the Treasury). and Mr. H. C. Hoover (Secretary of Commerce) found that the United States is the greatest per capita consumer of drugs in the world. As a result of the investigation President Harding decided to open the way to hold a conference of nations to discuss this question.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
