Washington witnesses testified before a senate finance subcommittee on Senator Jones's bill to bar U S narcotics exports. Paul S Reinsch said Japan lacks laws to stop narcotics shipments to China and Japanese subjects have exploited the market. Dr Wilbur F Crafts called the situation the worst poisoning case in literature.
