Apache, so that little was to be feared

GREAT BRITAIN HOLDS
UP TOBACCO TRADE

New York Oct. 1S.-Great Britain's
action in holding up tobacco shipments
from the United States to neutral Eu-
ropean ports on the charge that they
do not comply with the recent order
permitting the passage only of those
shipments which were paid for before
August and forwarded before Au-
gust 81. threatens financial disaster
to number of United States tobacco
interests, according to a statement to-
day by Charles Dushkind. secretary and
counsel to the Tobacco Merchants AS
ISOLATION of the United States. Mr.
Dushkind declared that millions of
dollars worth of tobacco had been
held up.
The tobacco, he said, was paid for
prior to August 4, last. and shipped
prior to August 80, so that 1t does
not fall within the trade shipments
prohibited by Great Britain. Attorney
Dushkind said the British have raised
the point that the shipments will not
be permitted to proceed to their des-
tination unless 1t can be shown that
the shipments were actually paid for
in the neutral countries. II paid for
in this country by agents of the pur-
chasers in neutral countries, they will
be stopped.
The Tobacco Merchants Association,
which represents practically the en-
tire tobacco business from growers
to retail merchants in this country"
said Mr.. Dushkind today. takes the
position that tobacco Is not contra
band of war. Whether soldier has
IT or has 1t not. would not affect his
military efficiency in connection with
a military operation. For this reason
the American merchants affected are
unable to understand how there can
be any justification for this treatment
of their product.
Tho original sorders in council on
this subject were issued by Great
Britain in March, 1915
The association and others made
such vigorous representations to the
State Department that in November
1915. a modification was obtained and
shipments OF tobacco permitted to the
Central Empires.
ION July 15 last. the British Trade
Department withdrew from the agree
ment of November, 1915. The asso-
citation again took up the matter with
the State Department. The State De-
partment again obtained modifica-
ton OF the orders permitting cargoes
paid for before August 4, last. and
shipped prior to August 30 to proceed
to neutral countries. Now these ship
ments are being held up"
