Outlines Purposes.
Outlining tlio purposes of the con
ference, Dr. William K, McKibbo. ex
ecutive secretary of the International
Anti-Narcotic society, known as the
whit© cross,” issued a statement
which said in part:
"The narcotic scourge is coming
to be seen for what it actually is,
namely, the greatest danger that men
aces humanity. If anyone doubts
this. look at a country like China. The
untold wretchedness, misery, degra
dation fastened on the Chinese
through opium constitute one of the
darkest chapters in modern history.
"The determination of the American
people not to yield to the fate thrust
upon Chica has just found expression
in an act unanimously passed by con
gress and immediately signed by Pres
ident Harding, and already put into
operation by Secretary of State
Hughes.
"This measure, the Porter resolu
tion, will, in days to come, be regard
ed as the most significant narcotic
legislation ever enacted. The resolu
tion strikes st the very root of th©
evil. It demands that the natiorrs
that have been rasing the poppy plant
ind coca shrub from which opium and
cocaine are derived, must pull up
these plants and make an end of these
poisonous substances for once and for
ever. except for the comparatively
«mall amount needed for medicine."
