AMERICANS AND TOBACCO
Greatest in Producing, Exporting and
Consuming

consuming,
What an extraordinarily import
ant part tobacco plays lg the welfare
of this country is disclosed in a re-
port recently issued hy the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce. This
bulletin asserts that the United States
ls ihg greatest producer the greatest
consumer, the greatest exporter and
lnr greatest importer of tobacco in
the world. our yearly tobacco crop
is valued at SlOU.OOO,OOO and the
amount We export exceeds in value
such items as cotton manufactures,
electrical machinery paper and paper
products, leather and leather manu-
tactuTys, and other commodities
which We sell to foreign countries
Considering the fact that tobacco
Is luxury rather than a necessity,
these figures are astonishing. Dur
ing the past year q large number Of
American citizens were supposed to
hae pretty hard time ofy it garner
ing sufficient money for providing
themselves with the essentials Of life
ct We managed TO consume prOdi-
gioUs quantities of domestic and for
elgn tobacco. The universally of the
habit of smoking makes it appear
that the slightly narcotic effects of
the weed are almost as necessary to
Americans as food. Nearly all of our
tobacco Is now used by men, and if
the custom Of smoking by women
grows our total consumption of the
brown leaves Will increase enor-
mOusly.
There is now a danger that our to,
bacco imports will fall below our eX-
ports. The dislocationo of trade re-
sulung from the war has caused a
