SUPPORT OF WEED
MART BILL URGED
Asks Solons To Aid
Bailey In Effort To Get
Study Of Markets

Mayor Thomas e. Cooper in tele.
grams to North Cardinals congress
sional delegation yesterday urged all
of them to unstintedly support a bill
introduced by Senator Josiah W.
Bailey Tuesday to appropriate $780,
900 for a study of ways and m ans
of exploiting Latin American mar
kets for United States grown to-
bacco.
Cooper, a candidate for governor
and a weed grower himself, Sunday
night suggested exploitation of these
markets as a remedy for the situa-
ton which will face North Carolina
tobacco growers this year when the
weed markets open without British
buyers.
Il am glad to see Senator Bailey
and I see eye to eye in this matter
and I am confident if the bill is
passed North Carolina tobacco buy
ers will be able to sell much North
Carolina-grown and North Carolina
produced tobacco in Latin America
now as England sold prior to the
time the war made shipping hazard
for British vessels.
IA suggestion that s~equestered
British funds in this nation be used
to purchase United States tobacco
is hardly feasible, for England is
interested in buying war materials
only in this nation and would pre-
fer to take her tobacco from her
ally, Turkey" he said.

AS far as it could be ascertained
no new ports of trade will be open

To reach Finnish Baltic ports
American vessels would have to
pass through heavily mined waters
which have been banned by the
