In 1492 upon reaching America the Columbus crew noticed natives smoking rolls of dried tobacco. When the Spaniards landed in Mexico in 1519 natives were cultivating tobacco with great care and skill. Cartier, upon discovering Canada, found Indians drying leaves in the sun. John Rolfe, at Jamestown in 1612, is credited with the culture of to bacco, but it actually did not begin in Maryland until 1631. Tobacco manufacturers have spent millions in scientific research to improve their products. Utmost care has been taken in the selection of the right crops. Tobacco industry for many years has used newspaper advertising to increase sales and put out a better product at lower cost. Pouring More Water Down Well Instead Of Mending The Pump (Editorial, The New York Times) TYPEWRITER RIBBONS For AU Make Machines, Standard and Portable. ADDING MACHINE RIB BONS ADDING MACHINE PAPER Can 74 Chronicle Pub. Ca Once more ,the Roosevelt Admin istration has chosen to pour water down the well instead of mending the pump. As a solution for the break down of production in thi.s country it proposes to borrow more mpney and to spend it. By this device it hopes to create additional pur^asing pow er and to increase the nation’s 'wealth. But if this method is really sound, if it will actually work, why should the present program be limited to the borrowing and the spending of a few more billion dollars ? WTiy should iK)t the Government proceed at once to borrow and to spend many times a few billion doHart, in order to solve its present problems beyond all ipossibility of doubt ? ' The fact of the matter is that the Roosevelt Administration 'has once more confused cause and effect, and 4bat this coTifusion, if 'persisted in, promiMs to lead to a tragic end. Inherent in the President’s message to Congress yesterday, and in his .radio address last night, is the convic- jtion that purchasing power and pro duction are twoi separate things, and 'that purchasing power is something which can really be expanded by whatever amount the Government chooses to borrow and pour in. But this is an, illusion. The truth is that purchasing’ power and produc tion are^one and the same thing, and that purchasing power flows out of production—and not the other way around. The purchasing power of 'wheat and cotton is automobiles and 'the purchasing power for automobiles Ls wheat and cotton—and the country will grow no richer, no matter how [many I. 0. U.’s the government sigrns I and no matter how many checks it j writes, unless the •proijuotion of wheat and cotton and automobiles and all other goods is increasing.
