Final Sale
OF Tobacco
Small One

Offerings were light today on the
final sale of the season on the Hen
derSon tobacco market, and there
was some doubt whether the total
would be sufficient to hit Inc 81
'million-pound figure for the crop.
Following sale Of l3l, 778 pounds
for S10,155.76 on Tuesday, it was
necessary 10 sell slightly more than
100000 pounds today to reach goal
OF 80 millions. Offerings were slow
in arriving, and as accumulationa
were laid on the floors sales crews
bid them in. This was kept up d
large part OF the day, and by early
afternoon ii was impossible to say
what the total for the day would be.
Statistics on the days offerings,
together with the totals for the en-
tire season, will be available Thurs
day, according to Sales Supervisor
Fred NJ. Allen. Jr.

MIR. Jameson
Says Britain
Still To Buy.

Oxford, Ian. 3l,-"The American
people should not become alarmed
or worried over the recently an
nounced embargo Of tobacco by
England, for l have a good idea that
England will continue to use some
Of the American tobacco" said An
drew Jameson, president Of the w.
A. Adams Tobacco Company Of OK
ord last night in the feature ad-
dress at the weekly meeting of the
Oxford KiWanis club in the social
"1rlnr "G the Oxford Baptist church.
He was introduced by S. S. Fara-
bow.
MI Jameson said. the Oxford
tobacco market practically had
reached its goal, 80 million pounds;
then began discussing the tobacco
situation throughout the world. He
told that England had raised the
price on package Of cigarettes
two cents, and would produce Gig
arettes within few weeks made
entirely from colony tobacco, selling
for shilling, or approximately 25
cents.
The world produced 5.274,OO0.OnN
pounds Of tobacco in 1887 and 1888.
Of which the United States pro-
duced 1,552.00.601 pounds an d
China, 1.638,000,679 pounds. Mr.
Jameson said, adding that The
United States has lost JaDan rs a
customer. for she is making prac-
tically all the tobacco used in that
nation.
He concluded that he was heartily
in favor of Secretary Wallace's plan
for control Of the production of to-
bacco, and said that the outcome Of
the present world situation was I'M
certain.

Roosevelt Leads
Country Toward
Vital Decisions

Continued from Page One
by millions of reaching as many
people as they should. And he may
that And hot in domestic politics
is whether social gains which Mr..
Roosevelt regards as vital should
be relaxed on the ground that rel
axation would step up national de-
fense. He has promised that they
won't be.
The nation looks up from its
weeks of preoccupation with do
mestic politics, to find the world
still aflame. There are cries from
all sides for national unity. Willkie
was vigorous even in defeat in ap-
proving continued aid to the oppo-
nentS Of totalitarianism. Herbert
Hoover, in a statement from Palo
Alto, Cal, urged full cooperation
of both parties in the vital pur-
pose" of avoiding war. ALT M. Lam
don, whom Mr.. Roosevelt defeated
four years ago, addressed an Am
erican united rally" here, pleading
for national cooperation as an ex-
ample of united purpose in the
defense of the republic"
There was the inevitable specula-
ton whether President Roosevelt
would invite Willkie to share some
government responsibility, perhaps
relating to national defense. He
called on Landon for various patri-
otto services after 1886.
Acclaimed personally and as an
epochal political figure because of
his reelection to an unprecedented
third term, Mr.. Roosevelt begins
his new term with his majorities
in both houses of congress strength
ened by the election returns.
The margin of third term triumph
still is growing in the second day
after the election. Mr. Roosevelt
polled 25,226,839 popular votes and
468 in the electoral college. The
bare majority sufficient to elect is
266. Wendell L. Willkie polled 90
964,675, the largest vote ever cast
tor a losing candidate. Only Her.
bert Hoover in 1923 and Mr.. Roose-
velt in his three successful presi-
Dental attempts ever topped the
2O,O0O,000 figure. But Mr.. Willkie
won only 63 electoral votes. The
division of the electorate was ap-
proximately SIS per cent for Mr..
Roosevelt and As per cent for Will
kie. But the division of government
power is far different with the exec
utlve branch 100 per cent New Deal,
the supreme court containing a
five-to-four majority of young New
Deal blood and only congress a poll
tical arena where administration
bulwarks might soon be broken eth
er by a coalition anti-New Deal
movement or by vote of the elector-
ate in 1912.
