SMOKERS OF WORLD !. LOOK TO AMERICA
 FOR THEIR SUPPLY
One Country In Connecticut Now Leads Those of AZ States In Value of Its Crop-Urge Planters to Organize.

Recently the Tobacco Merchants Association held a convention in Washington, before which Secretary Hoover made an address on the inn portance of the crop. It Is true that this crop does not receive the atten7 ton given wheat and cotton in the market reports, yet 1t is crop of ma tional and international interest.
 It is of international importance be- cause the smokers of the world look to. the United States for no small part Journal There IS no other country in the world that produces as much tobacco as the United States and its exports now amount to about $225,- 100000 a year. The two leading na- tions of Europe take so much tobacco fro mthe United States that we might feel that British and French affairs are in a measure influenced by this crop. How, for instance, could the new British premier shape the policies of the empire without his pipe filled with American tobacco.
 The industry here is large, the manufactured product amounting to over billion dollars a year. One remarkable development in this indus try is the great increase in cigarettes, the output of which numbers over sixty billion year. The government, , of course, comes in for a good share of the tobacco business, and every year receives about $Ioo, ,ooo, ,ooo i'll in ternal revenue taxes. So it would seem as if smoke is an important item in our government finance.
 Back of the smokers and manufac- turers are the little considered pro- ducers. Tobacco is grown in AZ states, and one county in Connecticut leads all others in the value of it's crop. But notwithstanding this, all most the entire crop is grown in the old South, Kentucky, North Carolina and Virginia being the leaders. There it is of great importance because it is almost the farmers only money crop. One of the officials of the associa- tion before referred to takes the stand that manufacturers should be more interested in seeing the planters or i ganized for their benefit than in try in gto get leaf tobacco as cheaply as possible. This is thinking of the business in terms of national economy and not private greed Enlightened men are beginning to see that busi- ness IS not contest where one man
 struggles to get as much from the
 other for as little as possible, It is hopeful augury for the tobacco pro- ducers when those in the manufactur- ing industry advocate such policies as
 this.

 The installation of officers was then announced and Delegate Joseph Baker, president of the Waterbury Central Labor Union, was named in stalling officer. The convention arose while the pledge was administered to President O'Meara, Vice Presidents German, Egan, Chandler, Cooney, and Scott Treasurer Fred L. Neebe was absent
 President O'Meara again thanked the delegates for their attendance and declared the convention adjourned until the Tuesday after Labor Day, 1924, at Hartford unless special convention be necessary in the mean time.
