Turkish Tobacco
Goes Down as
Harvest Goes Up

Athens, Dec. ia. =. by MaiD-
The bumper tobacco crop, common
to all tobacco growing states in the
Near East, is proving serious draw
back to the prosperity of this region
The indicat tons are that the world
market for the type of tobacco pro-
duced in the Near East, formerly
designated as Turkish" is clutted
with the product, and its absorbing
capacity is today greatly limited, un-
less producers in Turkey, Greece,
Macedonia and Bulgaria are willing
to accept much lower prices than
they now demand.
Turkey and Bulgaria have each
from this years crop alone about
90, 900, 900 pounds of leaf. and Greece
has about 120,000,000 pounds, chiefly
raised in her Macedonian possessions
All this tobacco is for the manu-
facture of cigarettes alone. In the
United States for the purpose OF
manufacture, it is blended, chiefly
with Virginia. 1t might possibly be
used for filler in the production OF
cigars, but that is still a question.
The impracticability of manufac-
turing cigars out OF Turkish to-
bacco was amply proved in Bulgaria
n few ears ago. when an effort Ia
build up cigar making industry oil
native tobacco proved a fiat failure
Turkish" tobacco does not possess
a sufficiently large and tough leaf
for the wrapper of cigar That il,
why the demand of America and
western Europe for Near East to-
bacco Is limited.
Tobacco in the Near East bears
about the same relation TO its pros
perity that cotton bears to the pros
uerity of the southern states OF the
United States. Tobacco is prouuceu
even more chcaply in the Balkans
than cotton is grown in the SCUM.
But it will not sell this year al
ANYTHING like the figures for whicn
the producers of the Near East are
holdin; out. The failure to sell inc
cron Mt the beginning of winter al
ready is exerting an unfavorable IN
fluence on Balkan finances,

SEE IT As IT IS

For q gubcrnatorial candidate with
hopes 1t In presumed of being
elected the Hon. w. II. Pattangall
appears somewhat pessimistic con-
corning liquor conditions in Maine.
Now these always were bad enough
and 1t seems fair to assume, what
with our Canadian frontier and great
length Of inviting and convenient
seacoast, may reasonably be expected
to prove bothersome for some years
to come, notwithstanding any relief
Mr. Pattangall might bring to the sit
uation.
We will not gain much from ex-
aggerated views OF liquor conditions,
whatever they may be. 1t is well
within truth that the buying Of liquor
easy matter as 1t was only a few
years ago. Neither do we believe that
corruption among Maine officials Is
common. and we don't think those
best acquainted with them believe 1t.
What does confront us Is a public
attitude on the liquor question that Is
not all 1t should be. Any improve
ment in this which may be had
should be welcomed whether contri-
buted by Mr.. Pattangall, or anyone
else. 1t is not. likely, however, to
come to us through politics or politi-
cal leaders. We must learn that the
prohibitory law is entitled to at least
as much support as other laws; we
must come into clearer recognition Of
our personal obligations as law abid-
ing citizens. Possibly each Of US may
in time conclude that IL we have
knowledge of unlawful practices it is
our duty to inform the officials and
aid them in enforcing the law.
Meanwhile let's not paint good old
Maine worse than she Is. a very
large and influential majority of her
sons and daughters are law abiding
and the lawless are careful not to
Haunt their wlckedness.
Then there Is constructive effort in
which all disposed to help, regardless
Oh polltlCai blaS OF views OF Religion,
may unite. The conference which Is
. being called to meet in PORTLAND, Jan.
IS. Is an instance of method by which
e coordinated effort may be arrived at.
And while this problem may not be
solved by passing resolutions. those
II accompanied by deliberate and I'M
tagging purpose and with sinews of
war provided, with competent leader

gle is not to be finished in one battle
of whatever kind but is one which
Will linger with us after he manner
of death and taxes. may lead us out
onto the right road. Organization of
effort. of sincere purpose, ought to be
very effective in inspiring and sus-
tanning public sentiment. That. done.
Maine will have less cause to blush
on account of bootlegeing exploits.
Moreover it would be possible to
make q deeper impression on the ma
tional government, on the state gov
eminent. on those who appropriate
funds. than could the Individual act
Ing individually. However. he will
not thereby be relieved OF that re-
sponsibility.

A SOLDERING EFFECT

Fortunately for this old worlds af-
fairs responsibility brings restraint.
The labor leaders of England, when
their mission in politics was to criti-
else the acts of others and to fight for
such privileges as it might be posi-
BILE for them to secure, were quite
free in the matter of telling what
they would do if given the power.
Now they are being put to the test.
There is to be a cabinet selected by
Ramsay Mcdonald, the labor l"ader,
and the party will be compelled by
conditions to submit to appraisal by
their countrymen for what they do.
Some of them are whistfing and
singing 1.-THE Red Flag" at their
meetings. but these are not the
responsible members of the party.
Those appear to appreciate the gray
ity of their position. This SOLDERING
effect ought to prove valuable.

Officials of the Portland chamber of
commerce are justly much exercised
because, in a publication issued in
Chicago regarding the shipping ia
cilities of the United States, in which
a map was used, no reference was
made to Portland. In fact Portland
does not even appear as dot on the
map, although many smaller and less
important ports along the Atlantic
seaboard are given. With its new
state pier, and other improved ship
ping facilities, and with ocean liners
making It a regular sailing port, it
would seem as if the omission of
Portland from the map was an over
sight for which there Is little, or no
excuse. One cannot blame the Of
ficials of the Portland chamber of
commerce from being much exercised
over the omission and there is no
question but that the attention of the
publisher will be called to it-Bath
