states that he desires to have the measure so
amended to meet the requests for protection
made by many representative Connecticut tobacco
growers. 1t is evident from his statement that
Congressman Henry is at present not prepared to
advocate the report which the Ways and Means
Committee is expected to make. He thinks that in
its present form the bill will meet with definite
opposition from tobacco men in Connecticut. He
says that he is daily receiving a large number OF

the ruin of Connecticut interests in the proposed
reduction on Philippine tobacco.
Mr. Henry thinks that American growers who
find it hard to compete with light Colored

lieve that there Will be any market for American
wrappers. He says that American wrappers re
