the more for an early conclusion
of the conflict. If it is to be a last
ing policy, plans must be mapped
accordingly.
In any event, this is not the time
for the tobacco grower OF those
dependent upon him, DIS much OF the
eastern Carolina business structure
is, to become panicky. It is time,
rather, for growers to abide strict
ly by their quotas, or even less
than that if and where such IS pos
sible
DEVELOPMENTS ere the 1910 crop
moves to market may have cleared
I'D the situation, and may turn ou'
to be such that the menace when
now seems 50 ugly shall nave
changed its complexion.
Let us all, then, growers and
merchants alike, hold our heads

can, and brace ourselves for what
ever hurdles may be necessary
when the summer and the fall
come. Any other course offers little
of consolation or help at the pres

Tobacco Prospects

Anything that relates to the pro-
duction and sale o. tobacco is o.
concern to this city ard section. and
there have been GeW seasons into
which were crowded 50 many vital
DEVELOPMENTS as in the one which
has just closed.
First there Was the big crop. L
thing in itself serious. Then came
the war. and the subsequent With
drawal OF the British interests, so
vital a factor in the purchase OF
the farmers leaf The government
stepped in to premise relief on the
condition growers would approve at
a referendum a plan for 1910 re-
duction and control. which they did
in overwhelming fashion. And more
recently came the absolute embargo
by the British government Of inn
ports Of American tobacco.
Crop quotas will Prove decidedly
helpful in controlling the size Of
this years production. But whether
the government viii be disposed to
lend financial aid IN the manner it
did last year mas not been settled.
Certainly i cannot continue in
definitely the practice Of removing
SURPRISES. as witnesses the plight in
which it now is with respect TO
cotton.
1t is generally recognized that the
British embargo is the most serious
obstacle flue-cured growers have
had to face in many years. The
decree is a direct outgrowth OF the
war, and is Il step Britain has taken,
for reasons satisfactory 20 herself,
to bolster hlr position in The strug-
gle toward victory in the conflict
which to her is Il matter Of life and
death.
American government authorities
are moving with ali the vigor at
their command 10 reach some sort
OF an agreement that may alleviate
the seriousness of the blow to Amer
lean tobacco producers. What can
or will DC accomplished is at the
moment tnp.cdictoDle.
Turkish and Greek tobacco is
being substituted by tire British
trade lor the Ie1I hitherto imported
from the United States, and the
assumption is that this move is an
effort to riyet the friendship, the
sympathy and possibly even the
armed assistance of these small
Balkan States 10 the Allied cause
Ii that deduction is correct, the
British attitude can the more easily
De understood.
Some quarters have suggested
that Britain'S act may be more deep
seated; that it might be slap al
the United States ror restricting
credits; and it may be Intended as
check on an expanding American
foreign trade. Or the conservation
of the British supply Of American
dollars that can be employed il
exchange in making purchases o.
war materials here.
Whatever the reason, the effec
on the American flue-cured grove!
is the same, in that il deprives hin
of his largest foreign market anc

Havoc may result this year. bu
it seems unreasonable to suppose
that an industry so large as the
British tobacco trade. built throug!

Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, Feb l.---Supreme Court
Justice Heriot ClarkSon does little
mixing or mingling in politics. That
doesn't become a Supreme Court
Justice and the lively oldSter from
Mecklenburg measures up to the
standard.
He does feel justified, however,
in observing that the plentitude OF
candidates for governor OF North
Carolina is a healthy sign.
Its fine for the state to have so
many good men to choose from" said
Justice Clarkson. Just like it's fine
to have a lot Of horses on the race
track"
He pointed to the long list of cam
didates as proving that North Caro-
lima isn't controlled by any group or
clique like they are in Louisiana.
It will be only a few days before
Raleigh's J. NJ. Broughton selects
his state manager, although it may
be longer than that before there is
official announcement Of that fact.
A curious newspaper man. anX-
ious to pick" the candidate, if pos
sible. asked Mr.. Broughton if reports
that you will have Walter Lambeth
for your manager are true?'
Broughton parried with counter
query which may or may not be
significant: He'd be strong one,
wouldn't he?"
So far there has been no real ink
ling Of what the Democratic state
committee will do at its meeting
Friday--cXcept fix the date Of the
State convention for some time in
May. The question is whether or not
there will be any real organized OPP
position to Governor HOey's sugges-
gestion. There is plenty Of scattered
and unjOinted opposition, but no
evidence that it has crystalizcd TO
the point where it will make itself
heard.
There is opinion that the commit
tee session can last three minutes OF
three hours, with the consensus fay
oring the short term.
Maybe there's such thing as
mental tclcpathy, after all In We'd
nesday mornings Greensboro News
there was story by its veteran cor
respondent Tom Bost indicating
strong possibility that Libby Ward
will run for Governor. In Wednes-
day afternoons correspondence from
this Bureau there was short item
limiting at the same thing.
Thursday your Raleigh reporter
was talking things over just casual
ly with Tom and learned that the
two items were written practically
smut neously-both typed about 3
p: m. Wednesday. They had not met
Wednesday, nor had either seen any
one that day who said anything
about Libby Ward or his prospects.
Yet apparently out of thin air the

even such maestroS as Heifetz. Zim-
balist, HoroWitz and Iturbi will have
to get on the union band-wagon.
He notes that their salaries are far
above the union scale. but sees in
that no excuse for their unregi-
mented arpeggios.
1t was an 18th century British
parson who observed that no matter
how things went awry we could
always find solace in Music. the
only cheap, unpunished rapture.
Mr.. Petrillo won't let it be cheap If
he can help it and the punishment
fits the crime If it isn't union music.
1t was Mr.. Petrillo who. in Deem
ber 1898. started imposing censor
ship on plays which used the name
OF John L. Lewis-notably, George
Whites Scandals, "Hellzapoppin"
and The Man Who Came To Din
ner."
The name of Lewis was dropped
from the scripts. 1t was the first
instance of the successful censor

in which he or his union has been
challenged. He drives a custom

proof glass windows. and is never
far away from his bodyguard.
These precautions followed the
bombing of his home when he was
conducting drive for union music
IN all Chicago picture houses. He
has never been identified in anv of
the labor racketeering activities
which have been noted here and
there on the Chicago labor front.
When he was years old, the Pc
trlllo boy, son of ditch digger
bought a scent horn and followed
the Chicago Daily News band. He
Kept right on footing and when he
was IA he had his own band. In
1919, he became vice president Of
the Chicago local of the American
Federation of Musicians. Last June,
he succeeded the venerable joseph
N. Weber as president of the fedora
ton. They pay him $4,000 a year
-incidently a salary larger than
that of the hated and censored
John L. Lewis.
