Abstract
MEETINGS in connexion with the international control in narcotics have just been held in London under the International Conventions concluded in 1925 and 1931. The Permanent Central Opium Board, which exercises, under the auspices of the League of Nations, the supervision over the manufacture of, and trade in, opium and other dangerous drugs in all parts of the world, has held its forty-first session. It was attended by Sir Atul Chatterjee, president (India), Mr. Herbert L. May, vice-president (United States of America), Sir Malcolm Delevingne (United Kingdom), Mr. J. H. Delgorge (The Netherlands), and Dr. George Woo (China). The Board carefully scrutinized the world position as it appears from the statistical reports sent in for the year 1941 by fifty sovereign States and some sixty-six dependencies and colonies and other territories. It also considered certain questions of policy and solutions of problems arising from the special circumstances of the War. Under the terms of the Conventions, the Board's report on its work is being sent to the Secretary General of the League of Nations.
