At the International Opium conference in Geneva on November 20 Canada and China voiced support for U S anti narcotic measures. Dr Henry S Bel for Canada cited U S laws as enough to curb opium traffic if illicit smuggling is checked and urged nations to free humanity from the menace.

A Geneva rumor linked a new arms conference to President Coolidge and the possibility of a meeting in Europe, perhaps The Hague, with Washington said to back a British move on the topic.
