PRESERVATION OF
WAR RECORDS ASKED
a Geneva.—In the presence of the of­
ficial American delegation beaded by
Representative Stephen G. Porter of
Pennsylvania, the fourth international
conference for international control
of the traffic in hahlt forming nar­
cotic drugs opened Monday in the
League of ’Nations pitadE The con
ferenoe was presided over by Herluf
Zable, Danish minister to Berlin, apd .
leading Danish delegate to the League
of Nations assembly.
The object of the conference is to
obtain an agreement for limitation of
the exportation and importation of
narcotics to medical and scientific
needs.
An American offensive launched at
the very start appears to have im­
pressed the delegates to the confer­
ence that the United States is de­
termined to do everything humanly
possible to bring alxiut results from
an international gathering which has
been convoked to strike another ef­
fective blow at opium and narcotic
drugs.
A bitter dispute between delegates
of Japan and England at a different
conference — one for suppression of
opium smoking in the Far East—near­
ly disrupted the latter parley Sun­
day and serious fears were enter­
tained that its effects might be noted
at the new conference.

to the state income tax that has been
collected this year. The 6 per cent
limitation has never been interpreted
as applying to any tax except a direct

put into execution will be that the
