LJ. N. Helping Mexico
ro Block Smuggling
Of Opium Info U. S.
LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., May 14
(CDN).—Isolated valleys in North
srn Mexico, far from civilization,
are the target for a joint United
Nations-Mexican campaign to re
duce opium smuggling into the
United States. In these remote val
leys, opium traffickers grow poppy
plants and process clandestine drugs
In hidden laboratories. The pre
pared opium is often smuggled
across the Rio Grande by airplane.
The U. N. Commission on Narcotic
Drugs, now in session here, long has
seen woried about this well-organ
ized smuggling ring.
It is satisfied, hofever, that the
Mexican government is doing its
pest to co-operate with the U. N.
City Fights Traffic.
Saturnino Guzman, chief of the
Health ahd Welfare Department of
Mexico City, tells the commission
that the opium traffickers are being
fought with new legislation and with
intensive explorations T>y federal
troops and army airplanes.
Already, 2,284 cases against opium
growers, technicians and smugglers
have resulted in jail sentences or
in pending trials, he reports.
Mr. Guzman’s statement follows
a report of the commission on nar
cotic drugs which said:
"The situation in regard to smug
gling of Mexican-prepared opium
appears to be deteriorating year by
year.
"Whereas, seizures of Mexican
opium were not heavier than in
preceding years, information re
ceived by the commission reflects
that the growing of opium poppy
and preparation of prepared opium
for but one market—the United
States—has expanded from but two
Mexican states, Sonora and Sinaloa,
to numerous other Mexican states.
Smuggling Well Organized.
"Illicit opium traffic now seems to
be well organized.
"Small airstrips are constructed
in the hilly country in which the
poppies are grown, thus enabling
the traffickers to fly the opium from
these often Inaccessible regions to
points near the border, where it may
be smuggled into the United States
in some other manner.
"Several airplanes and landing

strips have been discovered by
Mexican authorities and destroyed.”
Mexico became an important,
and dangerous, source of contra
band drugs early in the war when
the Far East supply was closed.
Drug racketeers planted large
scale poppy farms in hilly areas
accessible only to men on burros or
to airplanes. Wartime inability to
guard the border adequately al
lowed the opium traffic to get a
flourishing start.
Burglar Alarm Useless
JANSEN, Nebr. </P).—Burglars did
a better job of timing their work
than did the alarm system at the
Arthur J. Friesen drugstore there.
One of the system's tear gas bombs
accidentally exploded, so Mr. Fries
en decided to disconnect the sys
tem until it could be inspected. A
few days later, while the system
still was inoperative, burglars raid
ed the store. The loot included 21
cases of liquor.
