By HENRY AVLRILL Raleigh. July 27.- Independent to ; b;teeo buyers will meet in Durham Monday in a .-es-;ion billed to "t'on [ sider" the general \yeed situation. The almost inevitable result will be a concerted drive to get the same sort of aid from the governmnet as was last year given the British Im I penal Company. Paraphrasing a well-known cig arette advertisement "With indepen '< dent tobacco buyers men who know tobacco best, it's two to one there'll be real disaster unless Uncle Sam I comes across." That, at least, seems the consensus of such folks as are supposed to know the answers to all questions in the realm of tobacco and its marketing. The independents — companies which do no tobacco manufacturing, but make their money by buying and selling leaf tobacco, mostly for ex port—think that there will be some where between a hundred and fifty and a hundred and seventy-five million pounds of tobacco gmwn this ye. r in excels of the norma! domestic market wh-rh i:^u-">!!v t-'ke^ •• iike 4U0,UL'U,UUO pounds au They think, too, th.it there's going" to be little or nowhere to ship that big surplus. which is going to be .here! in spite of the control quotas which have cut this year's crop tremen dously from last year's whooper. Granting these premises, which seem practically indisputable, the logic is simple—There's going to be a bad time unless ihc government j steps in and helps out. The simplest way this help can be given, the buyers b< Iieve. is to do the! same thing for them that was done lor the big British concern last year! —i. e. put up the money to buy the I crop. I That scheme works out this way. in simple language. Uncle Sam puis I up the money with which the inde pendents buy tobacco for their ac- i count. For its money the government gets a lien on the crop. The tobacco so bought is put in! warehouses, where it stay.- until a iv found for if. if one is found, the independents sell it, pay oil trie government, and that's that. If they' .. . .1. u.e;i toe tobacco is the ,ovi iT.iViCni's and what it Joes about lUi/iiUnued five.
