Prospect Of Changing
Labor Policy Slight,
.Tydines Comedies
But Fight in Congress
Is Not Yet Lost, He
Says in Broadcast
Rv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, March 30.-Senator
Tydings, Democrat, of Maryland
asserted in broadcast address yes
terday that unless the President
changes his position" on pending
labor legislation '"it will be difficult,
if not impossible. to effect any
change in labor practices from those
that prevailed before we entered
the war.
"Those who advocate changes in
labor policy, while stunned for the
moment, have not given up the
fight" the senior Maryland Senator
asserted.
They are still pressing in the
House of Representatives for vote
on one or more of these labor mat
ters. But with front-rank admin
istration witnesses appearing before
Congress and stating that no labor
legislation is needed, the prospects
for any material changes In labor
matters are not very bright at the
moment"
Senator Tydings also called for
"all the economy possible, so that
our soldiers and sailors, when they
come home again, will not find a
country burdened down with un-
necessary debt, threatened with
bankruptcy and economically dis
organized"
ITO this end there are many Of
us in the Congress who are still
working"
The Senator said that "the Gov
ernment is going along just the
same as usual-its war activities
have been superimposed on its
peacetime activities.
Efforts to curtail the N. Y. A.,
the C. C. c., the w. P. A., or to con-
solidate the overlapping agencies of
our national Government, or to
eliminate useless and expensive
activities therein, are frowned upon
by those in authority in the admin
istration.
TT is hard work for those inter-
ested in saving money in the opera
tions of the national Government to
make any headway. The spirit of
cooperation seems to be totally
lacking"

CoroIinos and South America
Offer Substitutes for Tea
Domestic lex Domitorio Is Too Expensive, but
Importation of Yerbo Mate Is Feasible

in the correct way and fermented to
an exact point.
The tea plant in the Orient
Thea Sinensis-bears marked re-
semblance to the South American
plant and the one that grows in
North and South Carolina. They
belong to the same general family.
Files of the Agriculture Depart
ment reveal that as early as 1900
the tea plant" was tried out in
South Carolina. Seeds from China
were planted and they were said to
have f1ourished. But planters lost
interest in them. 1t was the fashion
to bring in tea from the Orient. Ap-
parently the substitute lick wasn't
discovered until many years later.
Mr.. Erlanson said he didn't think
there was any danger that tea would
become scarce or too high, in view
of the South American market.
There have been no experiments
with Carolina tea" in recent years.
But perhaps some one will come
along and find way to produce it
cheaply.
Friday the War Production Board
ordered deliveries of tea to dealers
restricted to a monthly average of
half the amount they got last year.

By CARTER BROOKE JONES.

Come in, my dear, and have .
nice hot cup of lick domitoria."
This is a potential greeting from
a housewife to her neighbor, in view
of the shortage of tea which Amer
lea faces because of the Pacific war.
But the hostess is more likely to
suggest a steaming cup OF "yerba
mate"
And she's still more apt to keep
on calling it simply tea. Because
it's all good tea.
1t might be explained that lick
domitoria is the name of a plant
which grows extensively in the Car
olinas. Excellent tea has been
brewed from its leaves.
However, Carl Erlanson OF the
Agriculture Departments Division
of Plant Exploration said yesterday
that lick domitoria never has been
used for commercial tea production.
He expressed doubt that it would be
because it is costly to convert the
leaves into a beverage.
Grows in Quantity.
Yerba mate, he pointed out, Is a
plant which grows in large quanti-
ties in Brazil. Paraguay and North
ern Argentina and produces deli
cious tea. This is favorite source
of tea in many sections of South
America and can be found on the
market in the United States.
Mr.. Erlanson predicted that.
should the shortage of Oriental tea
continue, yerba mate would be i'm
ported from China, India and Cey-
lon.
The South American type, he
explained, can be brought in more
cheaply than leaves from the do
mestic Hex domitoria can be proc
essed.
The plant with berries resem-
bling holly which grows only in the
Southern States, once was studied
as a source of an American tea
industry. A Chinese expert was
called in and he brewed from the
leaves tea that had culinery experts
in an acrimonious discussion of
whether the beverage came from
Ceylon or China.
Similarly, the mate plant in South
America produces real tea, which
is said to be as tasty as anything a
Mandarin ever brewed.
l. idea Withefed.
But the embryonic Carolina tea
business withered and died because
of the cost. Tea could be imported
from the Far East at a fraction OF
the cost. The higher wage differ
entail in this country and other
factors contributed to kill the idea
