TRAFFIC IN DRUGS.
EGYPT A DUMPING GROUND.
A RACE OF ADDICTS. LEAGUE OF NATIONS REPORT. (Received Sunday 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, March 5. A report is being presented to the League of Nations dealing with the world smuggling of drugs. The report states that the Egyptians are rapidly becoming a race ofaddicts to drugs. In spite of the prosecution of 5600 individuals during the past year the enormous profit -from cocaine and heroin continues to produce new traffickers and the arrests in Cairo average sixty per week. Egypt produces no cocaine or heroin, therefore the whole of the supplies are obtained from illicit resources.—(A. and N.Z.)
