they would tell a story of a great American industry . . . 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.

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

other goods is increasing.
