CUBAN TOBACCO CRISIS
Suspension OF Tax On imports By
England Helps But Little Y

Havana, May 21-Cuban tobacco
planters say that the suspension by
Great Britain of its extra fifty per-
cent tax on tobacco imports will give
little help in the present crisis faced
by the Cuban tobacco industry. ~
z In a recent meeting of planters it
was stated that the British dealers
had stocked up heavily and would re-
quire little tobacco for some time.
The planters also stated that their
efforts to induce the tobacco work
ers' declarations to accept reduced
wage scales so that Cuban tobacco
could be put on the market at re-,
duced prices had resulted in so slight
a reduction of wages that it was con-
sidered useless.
