8 MAIL TRIBUNE, KWford. Oregon, Friday, November 14, 193S Dope Peddlers Use Israel as Short Cut To Egyptian Markets Beersheba, IsraeKUPD-Inter- national dope smugglers, fol lowing a time-honored route, continue to use Israel as a short cut to their Egyptian markets The change from Turkish to British to Israeli rule of Palestine has not deterred the smugglers, who travel from Lebanon, Syria, Greece and Turkey to Egypt by way of Israel. Israeli police report they are slowly gaining on the nar cotics smugglers, although the results of their daily, or night ly, raids are still relatively unimpressive. In 1950, police netted 838 pounds of hashish and 24 pounds of opium. Last year, they grabbed 2,330 pounds of hashish and 1,323 pounds of opium. They also found small amount of heroin, a late arrival in the Middle East nar cotics market. Addiction Up Almost this entire amount was headed for Egypt, which is estimated to use 1,543,500 pounds of narcotics a year. Israel s total estimated con sumption is 88 pounds a year. However, addiction in Israel has risen slightly over the years, and it is now estimated that there are between 3,500 and 7,500 addicts in the coun try. Authorities point out that even if addiction were to dis appear completely in Israel, the traffic would continue across its borders until the neighboring states take deter mined steps to wipe out the smuggling When the Israelis occupied the Gaza Strip during the 1956 Sinai campaign, they found in a police station more than 20 pounds of unmarked dope. International law re quires all drugs to be marked, with details of its confisca tion, if it is contraband. The discovery indicated to Israeli authorities that the Gaza po lice were- themselves dealing in hashish and opium. Resi dents of the Strip confirmed that the dope was used to bribe or reward, informers and spies. Peddlers Ignored The United Nations emer gency force stationed on the Israel-Egyptian border is not equipped to deal with such matters and ignores dope ped dlers entering Egyptian territory. The Israeli police claim the Arab governments are not se riously concerned about the narcotics problem except, pos sibly, in Egypt, where drug addiction has reached a scale that could hamper that na tion's economic and social progress. The police also claim that Lebanon, the area's main source of opium and hashish, will do nothing about the drug traffic. They claim the drug business involves so many important government officials that no Lebanese po lice chief can tackle the problem.
