Print Paper Prices

The Federal Trade OommIs-
sion is meeting with a good deal
of difficulty in investigating the
advanced prices and shortage of
news print paper. A statement
issued by the Commission says
that some publishers hesitate
answering the Commissions in-
quiries, fearing that their sup
plies may be cut off. The AgrI-
cultural Department says that
Investigations made by the For
est Service indicate that is plenty
of raw material from which to
manufacture paper. The devel-
opment of new paper mills has
been held back by the tain
ty regarding markets, since it is
thought that with the close of
the war manufacturers of ammu-
milton will withdraw as purchas-
ems of many products now used
by them, Consequently new
paper manufacturers are not
keen to run the risk of decreased
demands.

moved in the same way. If our
Government will only say to Eng
land that this embargo must be lifted
or the Government of the United
States will be forced to prohibit all
or certain grain shipments on and
after August 3ist, then no one
doubts the result. If Washington
wavers or vacillates, the embargo
will remain until the war ends. q
In the condition that cenfronts us
the Federal Government is the only
power that can step between and di-
vert a financial disaster. Delega-
tons of strong men from Mayfeld,
Paducah, Murray, HopkinSville,

Senators and Representatives on
Monday. Delegates are being sent
from Virginia and North Carolina.
Nothing will be left undone. or fun
said to emphasize the importance of
the situation. We believe that Con-
gress and the President will take
action, and that relief will come in
this way If Congress stops to de-
bate and adjournment should find
the embargo intact, the only alter
native remaining to the tobacco
grower, as occurs tonne now, is for
the growers themselves TO adopt re-
taliatory measures by refusing to
sell England or her allies a pound of
tobacco until she lifts the embargo.
If | can find time l shall report

INDEPENDENCE
OF AMERICA

Two years have passed since
our regular supply of hundreds
of articles which had flowed In
an unbroken stream from Europe
was stopped. In few particu,
lars we have produced as good,
or nearly as good, an article as
we formerly imported. But we
are short on countless things,
some Of which are very essential.
Many dyes are not to be had for
king's ransom, and linens and
fine leather and a thousand other
articl Is, to the origin of which
we never gave a thought. are
daily gro wing scarcer or the sup
ply Is entirely exhausted. We
have edged in on a few things,
but have we come up Tn the re-
quIrements of our unsupplied
needs to any considerable extent,
as so many confidently bcasteu
we would? That we can supply
ourselves with pretty much all
the necessaries previously i'm
ported, is noubtless true. That
we have not and are not, islArge-
~ due to labor conditions which,
in the absence of spitable pro-
te ctive tariffs, deter onr man
ufacturers from investing the
large sums required to erect
plants, with the constant danger
that the war may end suddenly,
imports be resumed. and accum-
ulated stocks on the other side
be dumped in large quantities at
reduced prices. Take the case
of the dyes for example: A
German manufactures can com
mand the services of highly
efficient and experienced chemist
one who has perhaps taught
chemistry for years in a techni
c ! school, at salary of So, 900 a
wear. Here the manufacturer,
for that sum, could scarcely
secure.a second-year college stud
ent with a smattering of theory
and no practical experience
whatever. II we ar TO do these
thines for ourselves we VIII be
obliked to restore some protect
ing tariffs, whatever may be our
position on protection aud free

Hon. W. I. Fowler, the kepuDA-
can candidate for Congress from this
District, is the author Of the follow
ing forclble letter dealing with the EN-
barge placed on tobacco by England:
To the Tobacco Growers Of the Dark
Tobacco DiStnct:-
The now infamous "Order in
Council" which made the Dark To
bscco District near bankrupt last
year has been re enacted. The effect
of this Order is to put an embargo
on all shipments Of dark tobacco to
Germany or Austria after August 81.
This will include what is termed
Scandinavian Europe, Denmark, Hol-
land, Belgium and Switzerland-alSo
Sweden and Norway. These coun-
tries under normal conditions purch-
ase at least 1OO,OOO.OOO pounds of
our dark tobacco. scandinavian Eu-
rope takes her requirements largely
through Bremen. Germany produc-
es a large portion of her consump-
ton. So does Austria and Hun
gary. For two years, or since the
war began. this production has been
greatly curtailed Their stocks of to
bacco are exhausted. Germany and
Austria, therefore, on a free, open
market would take one third of our
large crop Of tobacco at high figure.
England has a low, selfish purpose
in cutting off shipments of tobacco
to Germany and Austria. Tobacco
is not an article of conraband, be
cause it is not food or war neceS-
Sity. Every dollar that Germany or
Austria puts into tobacco lowers her
financial efficiency just this much.
England is furnishing the finances for
Italy and France. Italy and Frances
production of tobacco is practically
cut off on account of belligerent con.
ditions According to a government
report France will need and require
out OF this crop double her usual
purchase. Italy for her own con.
sumption and for the need of the Re-
gle governments will require a large
increase over her average purchase
England is underwriting the finances
of both countries. If market in the
"Black Patch" is allowed to open
with the active, aggressive competl-
ton which the German and Aus
trian buyers will afford, England
with its acute financial eye sees that
the French-Italian purchase will cost
from forty to sixty millions more
money than if competition is throt
tied. The. black list on tobacco,
therefore, is not a war measure
It's shrewd financial policy, con-
celved by cold, calculating finan-
cier. 1t is purely English in all its
characteristics. The plan in all its
features is premeditated to take sixty
millions out of the pockets of the
dark tobacco growers and put ii in
the British Golfers; and to hide the
infamy of this damnable burglary by
proclaiming it to be war measure.
The Government at Washington
can give relief. Shall the tobacco
grower be exploited and his sweat
money taken away under the very
eyes of Congress without a protest or
a demand to "stop thief" Shall
Kentucky and Tennessee farmers be
thus victimized and required to bear
the burdens of a European War;
The recent Merchant Black List
promulgated by the English Gov
eminent has been modified, so that
same is no longsr objectionable
This was the result Of a vigorous
protest from Washington, and a
threat of retaliatory measures. The
\ embargo on tobacco shipments to
Y Germany and Austria can be re-
