throughout this address Bish-

there is no distinction drawn IN

coordinates the place OF each
stone with the Divine purpose
of the temple.
The sermon was a call to in

such a support plan would
make possible an early reopen

morrow-of Old Belt markets in
Virginia and North Carolina
which will suspend, indefinitely
after Tuesdays sales. No men
ton was made of other belts.
Cages statement disclaiming
any knowledge of objections to
the CCC market support plan
was taken to mean that Secre-
tary Anderson probably would
make a favorable decision in
short order if he deemed the
underwriting plan workable
Prior to Cages remarks, Sir
Alexander Maxwell, chairman
of the officials said he could
certainly see 10 British oblec-
tons to the proposal and that
he regarded such a move as
mutually advantageous to both
countries.
Problem Discussed
One phase of the problem dis
cussed at the session here -
which was described a S
harmonious was the cost OF
the underwriting plan.
In spite of the cost, spokes-
men of the tobacco industry in
dictated they felt that the CCC
plan was about the only thing
thus far proposed that could
avert at least a partial collapse
of the leaf market They said il
obviously was more practical
than the proposal to allow the
army to export tobacco to oc-
cupied Germany to revive that
country's tobacco manufac,
turing industry, to improve
worker morale and incentive
and to strike at the black mar
ket in cigarettes.
They also viewed cody the
proposal to throw the matter
back to Great Britain with the
suggestion that the labor gov.
eminent had acted entirely toe
hastily in banning tobacco i'm
ports and might find it ex-
pedient to modify it's ban at an
early date.
Among the c~onferees at the
session here were Carl T.
Hicks, president of the flue-
cured tobacco cooperative sta
b%ilization corporation, who
sought means of holding the
price level at a point at least
as good as that prevailing when
the British withdrew when -
and if-sales are resumed aft
er the market shutdown.
