those who have been permitting peace
revolutions and social aims to lapse"
the message asserted.
I'VE now propose immediate nego-

basis of the right of nations to decide
their own destiny.
However, the Russian capitalistic
forces will oppose an international
peace, and there is still long struggle
which can only end VIGOROUSLY by
Joint international action of the
proletariat."

"Anyth'ng unsatisfactory in the

feated. This is the most momentous
event since the United States de-

PREDICTS RECORD PRICE
FOR KENTUCKY TOBACCO

Record prices for tobacco this year
in Kentucky are predicted by Repre-
sentative J. c. Cantrill.
His favorable opinion of the pros
pect for the farmers is based on an
analysis of the census of tobacco leaf
stock on hand given by the Census
Bureau. Concerning the Census re-
port Mr.. Cantrill said:
81 have carefully examined the re-
port just issued by the Bureau OF
Census under the Cantrill tobacco
law. showing the stocks of tobacco
held by manufacturers and dealers
In the United States as of October
first, 1917.
"The report as a whole shows a
very encouraging situation for the
growers of tobacco in the United
States. The situation so far as the
hurley type of tobacco is concerned,
is especially gratifying, as it shows
the stock of tobacco of hurley type
held by the manufacturers as being
12,0OO.O0O pounds less than October
first, 1915. and practically the same
as on October first, 1916. The report
also shows that since July /, 1917,
7O,O00.OOO pounds of hurley tobacco
have been used by the manufacturers.
This shows that hurley is being con-
sumed at the rate OF 275, 100000 per
annum, which is more than the aver
age production annually of the bur
ley crop.
This report, which is carefully
prepared quarterly under the Can
trili law by the Bureau of Census,
bears out the high prices which are
being paid for hurley tobacco grown
this season. even before it is strip
ped out The great demand for bur
ley tobacco ana for all other Ken
lucky tobacco is extremely encour-
aging and based ON the law of sup
ply and demand, there is every rea-
son why record prices should he paid
