Although there has been little

foreign consumption is being main

son said.
OF the agreement under which
Great Britain will buy tobacco from
Turkey, the AAA official said:
"Recently we have heard a great
deal about the British embargo on
tobacco"
"Great Britain has made a loan
to Turkey and expects to substan-
tally increase the use Of Turkish
tobacco. This would adversely af'
feet the quantity of flue-cured to-
lbacco used. The servicing and re.
payment of this loan may require
as much as the equivalent of $10,-
900 900 worth of Turkish commodi'
ties, largely tobacco, over a 2O-year
period.
"This may mean that as much
as 5000, 900 to 100000 pounds
of flue-cured tobacco will be dis
placed by Turkish tobacco. The net
result of this is that between six
and eight per cent of our flue-cur-
ed export trade, or between three
and four per cent of our total
flue-cured trade, is seriously threat
|ened."
