Ceylon and the Dutch East Indies AS a matter
Of fact, these three countries have virtual
monopoly Of supply of black tea to the world,
producing 700,000000 out of the 100000
pounds Of black tea sold to the world at large.
In the depression-the last one, that is!-it
seems that tea drinking, like many other things,
fell off, and so the Dutch and British growers
found themselves much in the same position as
the Brazilian coffee growers -overproducing.
So the Dutch and the British stole leaf out
Of the New Deal and tried some cropeontrol
schemes. At the same time they taxed themselves
a fraction of cent per pound dumped the pro-
ceeds derived therefrom into common fund,
to pay for the costs of promotion and propaganda
for bigger and better tea drinkers. The major
portion Of the funds is spent in America
Propaganda Pays Dividends
Results were soon Forthcoming. Coupled with
crop control and concentrated propaganda drive
to make Americans more willing tiffin tipplers,
the Dutch and the British tea growers found
better times returning. So in 1887 they upped
the production schedules to 87h per cent of
capacity. And now they are doing right boom
ing business
So there, you tea drinkers, that's the setup!
And by the way, you coffee, milk and water
tippers, don't snort in disdain at the people who
like tea, for it is estimated that the paltry total
Of only 100000. 100000 cups of tea are consumed
