newspaper Straits Times entitled “Truth Abopt Opium ” ~Dr. Chen recalled a proclamation by the British ’Military Administration in Singapore soon after Worjd War II under which an addict Was punishable with imprisonment.

Contrary to expectations, Dr. Chen sa,id, opium addiction, Jnk stead of being regarded as. an offense, wap, as a rule, usrid as a legitimate excuse for illegal possession of opium and the smoking paraphernalia. He observed that many an addict has left the police court a free man after -! successrur.y pleading that he, being an addict, had the dope for his personal use, or that Me had to use |t fbr reasons of health. ■J- j.j • - - t ; Had they been in China, Dr. Chen asserted, addicts would have been summarily shot for beinp criminals by the ‘ Nationalist government, or sent by .the Communist government to the northeast as munition carriers op to the labor camps in; the vast waste of the northwest. *' V V J.

It was immediately after the publication of Dr. Chen’s letter that Parketi told the\press: “There are about 2,006 opiumsmoking saloons in Singapore and it would be: necessary to carry out 100 raids: a- day to put them out of business.; This would be far beyond our capacity.” Source of Supply Sought i Some 50 days after that statement spokesman of the Anti-Nar-cotics Branch of tjhe Singapore police disclosed that more than 300 opium smokers and den-keepers are in jail, 1,000 pipes have been confiscated and 1,000 opium dens have been raided and "we are carrying on the raids at the same pace add are determined to force the opium racketeers to close up business?’ The spokesman also Jrevealed that the Customs Department and the police were working in close liaison to trace the source of supply and break, the import and distributing centers. Opium, s U is known, is feeing smuggled into Singapore and Malaya from ma, Thailand and the Middle pastern countries. . ‘V : Advice To Hungry HOUSTON. Tex.

——T—— | Portugal Has Six-YearPlan For Progress LISBON, Portugal (UP) — The government has embarked on a six-year, 13,500,000,000 eacudo (3472,000,000) development program embracing European Portugal and her rich African and Asiatic possessions. The program will run from 1953 through 1958 apd aim at develop? meut of agricultural resources, hydroelectric power, mining, oil. production, transportation, communications and colonization in an effort to raise standards of living. | ‘Ji I | Tlfe six-year plan is another in a series of development programs engineered by Prime Minister Antonio Oliveira de Salazar, once a professor of economics, which have raised Portugal from ' bankruptcy in the 1920’s to one of the soundest economies and best credit records of Europe. . Population Growth t | The six-yegr plan allots 2,43(1/ 000,000 escudos ($84,965,000) for hydroelectric .development; 000,000 escudos (388,811,000) foltransportation services, and 000,000 escudos (845,104,000) for agricultural development ;of the Portuguese mainland. Noting that the mainland pppu? lation had grown from 5,500,000 in 1900 to 8,500,060 in 1950 the government’s report said that Portugal was “in land neither fertile nor rich in natural resources.” Tito report , said the government realized the necessity not only for modernization of agriculture and existing industries but the need for new industries, overseas colonization and further internal development. • Colonial Plans The chief Portuguese colonies are Mazambique and Angola in Africa, both .of which have great agricultural, \ mineral and forest resources. k Money earmarked for the colonies’ agricultural development totals 1,839,000,000 escudos. (f64j 300,000) and for transportation, 2,915,000,000 escudos (|101,923r 000).. . . S ■ - ■ ’ Most funds for the program will come from the ordinary budgets,' in which Portugal under Salazftr has had surpluses for more than three decades. Some money also Will come from special development funds set aside ovet' thti years, and from the newly created
