U.S., Britain Are Firm On Dardanelles 7. Nations Present One Front Against Demands Of Russia Washington, AUK. 1 Ti ? Th ' United States and Britain liave de cided 1 ?? meet Russia ."iiiarcly on the issue of the Dardanelles.

Furthermore, diplomatic officials who reported th's action said Bri tain will take the same steps, if she j has not already done so. Thus the two big western pow- | crs are siding firmly with Turkey, current guardian of the Dardanelles, upon whom Russia had has served 1 two demands: 1?Tli.it the straits should he de- I fended jointly by Turkish and Hus- I sian forces, and 2?That future control policies | should be laid down by agreement among the Black Sea powers alone. To the first demand this country is said to have objected on the ground rtlist it virtually would mean granting the Soviet Union military liases in the straits. Because Turkey and Russia are the main Black Sea powers, the sec ond point reportedly was rejected j because of fears that Itussia would i he able to dominate the smaller na tions on any major issue. However, the American note I which Fccdor Orekhov, Soviet charge dc'affaircs, was handed at the State cl.Vpartnicnt leaves the way open for Moscow to negotiate i for freerer rights to the straits? ; with American support.

Deports from sev eral markets indicate a wider dif ferential than durum the past few years, but still not sufficient pre mium on extra quality, especially when il is expertly graded. Upon the whole the outlook for the current year is bright. A good crop m most sections (it was rained out m sonic parts of the east) and en average of above 30 cents a pound guarantees a lot of spending money for tobacco farmers. That in turn means good business for merchants, high sales and income tax yields to the state, and general prosncrity for at least several more month.-.
