MOSCOW The Soviets yesterday accused Communist China of smuggling opium into other nations including the United States to raise $500 million a year.

This money is used, they said, to help finance Peking's anti-Soviet propaganda campaign. An article in Pravda said the opium traffic had "one of the main sources" of currency for the Red Chinese. "The tremendous profits are used for anti-Soviet propaganda or to subsidize the puppets of the Peking splinters," Pravda said. This was a reference to Communist groups supporting Peking in its Ideological dispute with Moscow. The article, written by V.

Ovhjn-nikov, said: "To accept the methods of the imperialists, they collaborate with the owners of opium dens, is abominable, is monstrous, but it is also logical for those who, to promote their hegemonistic nationalistic schemes, ignore the vital Interests of their people." Ovhinnikov said that Peking received about $170 million annually from illicit dealings in Japan alone. "Most drugs are shipped to Southeast Asia and large consignments also reach the United States," it added. Pravda said the opium trade was stepped up by the Red Chinese following a secret top-level meeting in Peking in December 1952 aimed at finding ways to raise money for political and propaganda activities.
