AN OPTIMIST ON TOBACCO.
Mr. Duke Considers the Outlook
for His Company Very Bright.
James B Duke, creator of the
American Tobacco combination, and
chairman of the Board of Directors
of the British-American Tobacco
Company, has broken his long established
rule of not talking for publication
and has given a representative
of Dow, Jones & Co, publishers
of the Wall Street Journal, of New
York, some of his ideas on conditions
in the tobacco industry here and
abroad. Mr Duke is an optimist on
the general outlook for the BritishAmerican
Company, and believes
that this, of all the tobacco companies,
has the largest possibilities
for business expansion.
BRITISH-AMERICAN IN CHINA.
"We have made big progress in
China," said Mr Duke. "The possibilities
for the British-American Tobacco
C-ompany there can hardly be
overestimated. I sold the first cigarette
ever sold in China. That was
many years before the formation of
the American Tobacco Company.
We go into a new country and teach
the people to smoke?just so did the
Standard Oil Company enter strange
land3 and teach the use of oil.
"It has taken many years to build
up our business in China. It is only
now being put a paying basis. We
were willing to take a*loss there for
ten years because we saw great possibilities
in the country. We sell
cigarettes there as cheap as 15 for a
cent, and can show a reasonable
profit at that price. The Chinese
are always suspicious that the retailers
are trying to sell them something
else than their own particularly
favorite brand. They will go to
ail sort" ui extremes tu maae certain
that nothing 'just as good' is
being passed off on them.
"In India I consider the prospects
for the British-American Company
to be even more favorable than in
China. We have built three large
factories in India, and our sales there
have more than doubled during the
last two years. The selling conditions
in India are also more favorable
than in China. In the latter
country marketing of our goods
amounts almost to a question of
barter. In China and India combined
there are 700,000,000 people ?
*even times the population of the
United States, We built up a powerful
tobacco industry here. Consider
the possibilities for the BritishAmerican
Company when two of its
territories alone have seven times
the number of people that the old
American Tobacco Company sold to.
"We have recently gone into South
I America, and the field appears to
j me to be a favorable one. There is
! competition there, of course, but we
thrivp nn enmnetition. In the lone
run the fact that there is competi'
tion is rather pleasing to me. It
makes us work harder.
BUSINESS IN GERMANY.
"In Germany I am very much in
the dark as to the future of the
British-American Company. The
Jasmatzi concern, of which we owned
a majority of both common and
preferred slocks, is still running-, i
according to the latest reports we
have receiv. d. But it should be remembered
that the German subsidiary
has nevvr proven a big money
maker for the British-American
Company. It has only been during!
the last two years that we have re-i
alized anything to speak of on our J
investment in Germany.
"War times and other periods of
general depression have never resulted
unfavorably for the tobacco
industry. In fact, at the time of
the Cleveland depression there was
an actual boom in the tobacco industry
of this country. The man
out of work will always find son e
way of securing enough money to
keep himse'f in tobacco. It might J
be imagined that with the number j
of troops sent from England to the !
Continent the sales of tobacco on;
the British Isles would have fallen j
! off. But rather the opposite is the j
1 case. The many camps throughout
Kngland have their hundreds of
[ thousands of men who have much
spare time, which they devote to
| :he use of tobacco. Were they not
i in these camps the majority of these
j)";r i?uld ' e so nrnp'./ved t the !

business unless he centers his activities
there. Export business can
not be run as a side line to domestic
business. - The American Tobacco
Company and the Standard Oil Company
were successful when they
went abroad, but it was only because
they had the financial backing.
The British-American Tobacco Company,
with its globe-circling business,
was a possibility only because
it had the American Tobacco Company
back of it.
"Everywhere we hear the demand
that the United States build up its
export trade, but as long as the
country's Administration sees fit to
restrict big business, just so long
will export expansion be on a proportionately
restricted baais. However.
I have great confidence in the American
people and believe they will
continue to kick out the directors of
nnco r?.-Jimac tiarn until o <"?/inrli_
l/UOIli*. Ovl pvi iVIVO li\. 1 V. Ulibll L* WUUI
tion is cieated conducive to favorable
American business expansion.
VICE-CHAIRMAN OWEN'S VIEWS.
Hugo Cunliffe Owen, vice chairman
of the British-American Tobacco
Company, arrived in this country
a few days ago and expressed
views on the outlook for the BritishAmerican
Company very simi'ar to
those of Mr Duke. He said that
England cannot understand why
this country is not wonderfully prosperous
just now, as all Europe must
continue to buy here throughout the
next year at least. Mr Owen said
that the cash position of the BritishAmerican
is a very strong one and
that the dividends in the year just
closed would have been as large as
in 1913 but for the war. The business
since the war began, he said,
had not been seriously cut into.
Mr Owen repeated the statement
of Mr Duke, that there is considerable
ur.c. rtainty as to the future of
the Ihitish American Company in
Germany, but this uncertainty is
cau>mg no worrunent amor.tr the
directors. He ment on -d the s? fting
aside of a fund of ?1,5 )0.100 to take
care of the lo<scs of the war, but
expressed the belief that these losses
would not anywhere nearly reach
this amount. lie said the board of
directors were of the belief that it
was the part of wisdom and conservatism
to set aside this amount in
advance, while the progress of the
company in the countries not affected
by th^ war went al^ng without
interruption.
use of tobacco would be impossible
durinsr the day.
"To my mind the possibilities for
i expansion by the British-American
Company are pra?tically unlimited.
It is only a question of time to develop
trade. We expect to take our
losses in the new territory for the
first few years, but in countries in
which we are now well established
it will take a new competitor anywhere
uo to twentv-five vears to
give us trouble. The statement '
made by the American Consul at
Hankow to the effect that the British-American
Company has secured
a majority of the cigarette business
of China is correct.
"The British-American Company
is in a very strong financial position.
In fact, its position is such that I
am of the belief that no further
financing will be necessary in the
near future. It is hard to tell as
yet just what effect the war will
have on the company, inasmuch as
it takes two or three months to secure
full returns of our operations
throughout the world. However, I
have every reason for believing that
our sales since the close of the last
fiscal year have been up to those of
a year ago for the same period.
ADMINISTRATION POLICY AND EXPORT
BUSINESS.
"It is difficult to see how you can
expect American interests to go after
export business on a large scale.
First, the Republicans came along
and broke up big business and now
the Democrats seem determined to
break up little business. To go after
export business requires ample
capital and the combinations were
the only ones that could afford to
take their loss for a number of
years in an effort to build up a big
foreign business. Does it seem
reasonable to suppose that if you
divide one of the large companies
into many parts, that these parts
will be in a financial position string
enough to warrant their going after
foreign business? I talked with
a cotton mill owner recently and
asked him why he did not go after
foreign trade. He said he could not
afford it.
"No one can build up an export
