And unless all signs fail it will not be long before

The war is eoine badly in China and for one out

by the above-mentioned world revolution.
In fact Brooks Atkinson, war correspondent of the
New York Times, who has been in China many
months and made a careful study of .the internal
situation in that country recently declared:
"Chiang Kai-Shek, it seems, is mora concerned with
maintaining his political supremacy than In driving the

News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
Washington, Nov. 28 Where
are the cigarettes? This year the
country is producing the second
largest tobacco
crop in all its
history. Last
year it pro
duced the big
gest The fig-
ure for this
year will be
1,072,000, 0 0 0
pounds of flue
cure, the type
used in cigar
ettes. Of this,
Paul Mallon the govern.
ment is buy
ing, through the commodity
credit corporation, 400,000,000
pounds for lend-lease. Most of
It will go to the British for their
cigarettes, leaving us only two
thirds of our crop.
a a a.
THE , government, you know.
has had restrictions not
only on the growing of tobacco
but on the amount to be releas
ed to the cigarette manufactur
ers. At the start of the year, it
announced it would give the
makers for American cigarette
production only 482,000,000
pounds, then in August it upped
this figure to 878,000,000, in
September to 624,000,000, and
finally, In October, to 668,000,-
000.
Within this situation I think,
is the basic cause of the diffi
culty, A flurry of excuses are
being offered on every side, but
this one gets at the heart of
the problem.
True, cigarettes are not made
out of current tobacco. The leaf
is aged generally from two to
three years, sometimes more.
But the crop curtailment, man
aged releasing, lend-lease proc
ess above described has "been
going on for many years. .
Obviously, our managed econ
omy in tobacco has not worked
any better than Is noticeable in
other farm and industrial lines.
Indeed, the commerce depart
ment bureau of foreign statistics
more than a year ago was able
to forecast the precise shortage
situation which has now de
veloped, and the prophesy was
based largely on the factors
above described.
Obviously, not enough tobacco
was permitted to be grown three
or four years ago to take care
of the tremendous demand from
Britain, which has constantly in
creased from year to year and
the war Increase In our own
consumption.

Observations
Folk behavior: Because de
mand is greater than supply, a
new courtesy among clerks has
developed. When competition
was keen, clerks often tried to
sell an article to a customer
against the customer's better
Judgment. Now that the clerks
know they'll sell the article in
any case, they not infrequently
advise the would-M purchaser
against buying. It pleased me the
other day, to hear a clerk say
to a woman who was trying to
find a becoming hat, "Well,
we've tried them all and I can
see you are no more satisfied
than I. Why don't you try the
store down the street. They
carry a larger line of hats than
we do."
Waiting In line at the post of
fice to mail a package, the wait
was lengthened because a boy
brought a package which was
poorly wrapped. It was being
sent over seas to his brother in
service. The woman at the win
dow exclaimed over the awk
ward wrapping, then raised the
window grill, took the package
and rewrapped it herself. Though
tha waiting line was long, I saw
no looks of irritation. Every one
in the line seemed interested in
the rewrapping of the package.
And again it came to me as it so
often does that we're pretty fine
folk.
I didn't see the following in
cident but a friend did and told
me of it. The meter system Is
used here for parking cars. If
the car isn't moved, or another
nickel deposited when the time
limit is reached, the one guilty
of over-parking is given a ticket
to appear at the city hall. He is
then fined a dollar.
My friend happened to be
near a car the other day when
a little woman rushed out of a
store and to her car. She had
parked overtime and she knew
It She was ooorly clad, as were
the four children waiting for
her in the car. When she saw
her parking 'time had been ex-
tended, she exclaimed over this
and spoke about it to the chil
dren. "Oh," said a miss aged
7 or so, "a nice man came along
and talked to us. He looked at
the meter, then put some money
In it. Then he went away."
Little incidents like the above
seem especially dear during
these times when "men's Inhu
manity to man" is a constant and
increasing horror.

Lack of Lemons
Due To Demand
By Flu Victims
Washington, Nov. 28 (U.R)
Your grocer may have "no lem

this latest shortage on the Oc
tober hurricane which blitzed
the Florida citrus crop. 1
The agriculture department
today cited last year's influenza
epldemlo as the villian In the
case.
"Flu" and cold victims drank
so much hot lemonade and lem
on Juice that little of the fruit
went into storage and growers
harvested their lemons before
they reached full size in order
to take advantage of good
prices. The department pointed
out that practically all commer
cial lemons are grown In Cali
fornia.
The heavy medicinal use has
shown up now when storage
supplies are low and harvest of
the new crop is Just starting,
the department said. It .prom
ised that lemons from tha "good

on the market by mid-December.
