THE HAGUE OPIUM AGREEMENT '
i A number of years before the unsuccessful opium con
ference at Geneva in 11)21-5, there had been an international,1
meeting at The Hague and an agreement upon a curtain pro- J'r'" (ai1) with the signing
ceduie. Article U of that agreement, to which tho United, miih ' Vsvrnor uMersonl'TiI"
States was a party, pledged the signers "to limit the manu
facture, sale and use of morphine, cocaine and their re
spective salts to medical and legitimate uses only."
Tin.1 United States has done a good deal toward carrving
out that plan. Hut complete success of its work is made im
possible by the failure of other countries to do their part.
