EXPORT OF DRUGS.
JAPAN'S GREAT CARELEBBNEBS. CENSURED BY TIIE LEAGUE. APPEAL FOR SEVERE SENTENCES. United Press Assn.— Fipr Tel. CopvrlghL GENEVA, May 20. Japan’s “criminal carelessness” in permitting the export of drugs, particularly to China, was strongly censured to-day by the Opium Committee of the League of Nations. The United States’ representative stated that sufficient acid anhydride, which is the base of heroin, was sent to China last year to provide between 30 and 60 times the world’s legitimate needs. Most of it was from Japan. The United States and Canadian representatives said they had evidence of an organised traffic in narcotics in their countries from Japan. The committee decided again to appeal to Japan to impose more severe sentences on drug traffickers.
