JAMES SAYS WEBB BILL MAY
HURT TOBACCO MEN

Washington, d. c., January 80
Senator Ollie NJ. James said today that
he would offer an amendment to the
Webb export bill when it reaches the
floor of the Senate, exempting agri.
cultural products from the provisions
of the measure, his object being to
protect tobacco growers, sellers in the
first instance, from the effect of com.
binations, among foreign selling agen.
lies.
Senator James said he feared II
would be possible under the law as
It passed for House, for these com
binations, for the purpose of selling
abroad, to refuse to buy unless they
got tobacco here at their price.
He added that as this country fur
nishes practically all of the tobacco
sold in Europe, such a combination
would be more than dangerous to
growers.
