ILLEGAL NARCOTICS’
SOURCE REVEALED
Head of Egypt's Intelligence Bu
reau Says 90 Per Cent Are
of Japanese Origin.
Br the Associated Press.
GENEVA, June 3 —T. W. Russell,
an Englishman who is head of Egypt's
Narcotics Intelligence Bureau, told the
League of Nations’ Opium Committee
today that 90 per cent of all illegally
marketed narcotics in the world are of
Japanese origin.
He asserted that of 500 kilograms
(about 1.100 pounds) of one narcotic
preparation shipped each week from
Tientsin, China, 90 per cent goes to
the United States.
Russell asserted narcotics for the
illicit trade are manufactured in the
Japanese concession in Tientsin; in
Dairen, in Japan's Kwantung leased
territory; in cities of Manchoukuo,
under Japan's protection, and other
cities in China, but always under Jap
anese supervision.
From Dairen, he declared, thousands
of letters containing narcotics are
posted to the United States, Egypt and
other countries.
In the Japanese concession in Tient
sin, Russell said, 200 narcotics fac
tories employ 1,500 Japanese experts
and 10,000 Chinese workmen.

To those Golfers
who lost
last Saturday
Since
1759
IN OBSERVING our fellow golfers we’ve noticed
that Guinness is most often drunk by those who
have lost their match. At first this disturbed us. Then
we realized that to depend on Guinness for solace is
to pay it a compliment.
Guinness is dependable because it is a natural brew.
It is brewed in Dublin from barley malt, hops, yeast
and water—nothing else. Guinness is aged for a year
—first in oak vats and then in Bottle.
In the past 177 years, Guinness has grown to be
the most popular brew in the world. Golfers who
know Guinness will tell you one reason why — that
anyone may lose a match occasionally, but never a
liking for Guinness.
GUINNESS IS ENJOYED before or during meals, after exer
cise or when tired, and before retiring. You should be able to
get it wherever you buy good beer or ales in bottles.
Guinness
IS GOOD FOR YOU

A spokesman for the representatives
said the President had promised to tell
workers' delegates that the operators
considered the demands 1 or a dally
wage of $1.62, 30-day vacations, a 40

The oil companies have offered a
