Opium as an International Problem: The Geneva Conferences (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Opium as an International Problem: The Geneva Conferences
Honorable Stephen G. Porter, who had led the fight in the United States for the control of the use of opium and habit-forming drugs, and who so ably represented the United States as its chief delegate at the Second Geneva Conference, has kindly permitted the author to use as an introduction to the present volume portions of an address delivered by him in the House of Representatives.
It is to be noted that many of the quotations from the proceedings of the Geneva Conferences are from the original mimeographed sheets, and not from the printed reports. These latter were not fully available at the time this volume was prepared. However, in one way, the use of mimeographed reports has been of advantage, since they give a more nearly exact statement of what was actually said than do the printed, and somewhat revised, proceedings.
In conclusion it should be said that the author has attempted to incorporate in this volume all the informa tion that is needed for an accurate understanding of the subject. He hopes, therefore, that it will serve as a guide or handbook to all those who may need to know the situa tion as it now exists. Especially is it hoped that the vol ume will be found of value in case other Conferences upon the subject are held.
