PAGE TWO TWO MILLION PEOPLE . DOPE FIENDS IN U. S. , 1 - C \ Paying Ten Million a Day For x Habit-Forming Narcotics, Is Estimate. , i Two million men and women of 1 ho United States arc "dope fiends." 1 They are paying* $10,000,000 a day for cocaine, heroin, morphine, opium, ^ odcine and the hundred and one \ other habit-forming narcotics. ^ These are the estimates given by f federal omcors 01 tne southern Lai-1 ^ ifornia district, based upon years of c experience in dealing with these un- (| fortunate victims, in a region where s the drug smuggler and drug peddler are usually active because of the g proximity of Mexico, according to c the Los Angeles, Cal., correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. r And today Uncle Sam has under 0 way a nation-wide campaign, not, ^ only to save drug addicts from them ^ selves, restore them to normal and r make them again fully useful mem- j, bers of society, but as a means of re- $ hieing crime?in which drugs are a hig factor. ^ This battle is being waged under 0 the direction of Daniel C. Roper, corn ^ missianor of internal revenue, at \ V/ ashington. He has instructed every one of the j sixty-five internal revenue collectors 1 over the country to work with local j agencies in establishing clinics where addicts may be treated. Such treatment will cost them only the price of the drug, a nominal figure. Cooperating with government officials are chambers of commerce, coun ty medical societies, city and State boards of health, women's clubs and various other remedial agencies. Passage of the Harrison anti-narcotic law about five vears ajro was the first step the federal government too'-: I to cure the drug user. Prior to that time "hop" was easy I to got, peddlers were legion an.l users were multiplying at an amazing \y rapid rate. The tenderloin sections T every big city were filled with the psusty-facod "hop-heads." Well Known to Police. Police knew them and they were catalogued at headquarters. In the q Chinese quarter of every metropolitan r city Orientals had their dream ^ parlors, and the slumming which did ,, not visit an opium den was considered incomplete. ^ This was especially true of San ^ Francisco's Chinatown before the fire. cl New York, Chicago, Atlanta, New Orleans, Denver, St. i/ouis, Seattle and half a dozen other centers of j( population all had their resorts where victims could satisfy their cravings n for the "dream dope". G Drug and drug derivatives were cheap and plentiful. ^ But the Harrison act with its sovere penalties, put up the price. And it has been going up ever since until ^ today the average price from coast to coast is in the neighborhood of $4 to y dollars a grain. ? Use .of .tULrcetics has been steadily ^ increasing until today the demand it; n o-npreewwled, and daring smugglers are reaping fortune*?until they are arrei?ted and ptft behind the bars. The rmiwe4i?fte cause of the government's anti-drug campaign is believed to be based upon the assumption that national prohibition has increased their use. It is even hinted in some quarters that the government has evidence to prove the alarming spread of the habit is due to the absence* of high proof liquors, hut no government official could bii found who would admit such is the i case. Another factor was the decision of the United States Supreme Court fhut it is illegal for any physician to prescribe dings to satisfy the cravings of the addict. He may still prescribed dope, but he must not write such prescriptions for habitual user.-..

And that has made the situation )ven more acute. Steal Drugs. The police of a dpxen cities ars idling their records with stories of robberies of drug1 stores, physicians' ifficos and other places where the nctim believes he can find the vhcrewithal to appease his unnatural ippetite. Behind thousands of other daring hefts, hold-ups and murders is the irgo for I lie sleep-inducing powder, iquid or paste. The high prices of iuch sedatives have driven, the here ofore comparatively harmless hop lead to deeds of violence, as almost my police can testify. In Los Angeles recently a man fiving the name of Albert Woelk told r. the federal court of a ring of smug jlers, who operated in Southern Caliornia, smuggling narcotics across he Mexican border. He told the ourt of the system by which th3 liug, in this instance opium, was lipped over the international line ,nd distributed to agents in Los An,cles and half a dozen other large ities. He stated that opium and its doivatives could be had at Ensenda an I thcr Mexican ports for $10 an ounrc. 'his in turn was smuggled into Los ingelos and other cities and sold to etailers for $100 an ounce, and they i turn sold it to addicts for from 200 to $300 an ounce. As this is written the current quoation in Los Angeles is $437 an unce, but is said to be cheaper on he Atlantic coast and in the Middle Vest. o ??

THE HORRY HERALD, CONY further what is more to the point they know that the strating of European mills will "be the beginning of the restoration of a party between cotton and cotton goods. A'l this talk about the exchange rates or value of the pound sterling is pure unadulterated nonsense. So far as England shipping cotton Is concerned, England buys our cotton, and either ships the goods here to settle for the cotton or else she ships the manufactured goods to the | silver countries, where our dollar is below par, and ' there buys oui money or credit for 98 cents and less on the dollar. The onlv nlaco - ~ %r < the exchange situation hurts now is in those countries who have not yet began to export manufactured goods. The world needs manufactured goods fully as bad as Europe needs raw cotton, and no force, however arbitary and powerful, can long delay the supplying ol raw cotton to the idle mills. The margin of profit is now and will continue to be too great to force mills, wherever they are located, to remain idle. English mills fear the competition of European mills and gladly aid in the suppression of the value of their money so long as they are able to pay in manufactured goods here or wherever our money is below par. "We believe we are on the verge of the greatest 'bull market ever ! experienced. Spot cotton is firmly held. Spot cotton is not following ' the decline in futures. "Neither the fall in the value of the pound sterling nor the action of ; the federal reserve banks to refuse i to loan money on Liberty bonds will 1 stampede the holders of?cotton we < prefer to hold what we have for a ! fair price, based on manufactured goods rather than raise another crop under present disturbed con- J ditions and with the present labor 1 situation. "The cotton producer is deter- ' i r A ii i i i < iinuCTi lor unco not to D6 smOKCU 1 out like a rat. If allowed a man's '< chance, we can hold the balance of . cur crop until we can realize what we think it is worth. If we are denied a man's chance to hold it and raise another crop we will let the 1920 crop go hang and hold what we have in hand. "This will be one of the chief subjects of discussion at the coming meeting in Montgomery. "There has not been a plow stvc\in the ground as yet to prepare for the cotton crop. The development of the next 30 days will dote min lareelv future actions of the cotI.,:; growers." BIS MARKET FOR AMERICAN SHOES ?:;lsts in Continental Europe Conservative Models Sell Well. London.?There is a very extensive market in Europe fcr American shoes, particularly on the continent, according to the American Chamber o! Commerce in London. The Chmamber has been advised by investigators in that line of bus- I inc-ss, that American manufacturers can make large sales in the countries provided they make up the shoes, according to European styles. Although there is some talk to the contrary, the continental European public in general does not care for the American and English style of narrow toes and long vamp shoes. On the other hand, the American : i-i~ ? *-i *- - ?an*f iiiuilt'is <1IC Hiilll IU UC excellent sellers. The difficulties with regard to exchange and transportation are to be considered, but are not a real obstacle. The sales policy recommended to American manufacturers is to place ai agent in each country or group of countries that could be covered by a single agent. Emphasis is laid on the need for steady supplies and a definite amount of stock should he required to bo carried at all times, this stock to be selected by the j agent. Payment could be made by I letters of credit and the agent I should be given two or three months or longer to pay for the goods, thus permitting him to select the most advantageous date of payment with regard to the rate of exchange. The comment is made, says the Chamber, that European traders in general have lost their confidence in the premises of American exporters,! and that the only way American .hoe exporters can develop a lasting ; M?.
