Abstract

"Limiting" Drug Manufacture
La Motte, Ellen | April 13, 1932 issue

add to cart   close window

The manufacture of drugs is so far in excess of medical needs that a hundred tons of such drugs as heroin, morphine, and the like have leaked into illicit channels during the past five years. From the international conference to limit the manufacture of dangerous drugs, held at Geneva last June, little emerged but a treaty so cumbersome and intricate that few can make head or tail of it. Some have pronounced it an improvement over existing treaties. No international agreement, however, can achieve anything if there is bad faith in the nations signing it.
