S. tobacco to this , traditional market,'.: the Leaf To ' bacco Industry ias" declared in a brief filed 'with the U. S. delega ' Won, now holding hearings in Wash. , tngton on the revision o' the' U. S. Philippine Trade Agreement. The brief was prepared by J. B. Hutson, president .of Tobaco As- soeiates, Incn Randolph $. Taylor, executive secretary of the Burley and Dark Leaf Tobacco Export As sociation, Inc., and JVC. Lanier, gen eral counsel for the . Tobacco As- . sociation of United States and Leaf Tobacco Exports association, The Philippines have long been an important v market , for U. S. grown-tobacco. During the years 1945-49, U. S. tobacco exports, man- . ufactured and unmanufactured, av eraged - about 29 million pounds, farm sales weight, per year; 1950 53. they averaged about 26 million. The brief points out that "under provisions of a law passed by the Philippine Congress in 1952 .and a mended in July of this year, tobac co import quotas have been set up . which will greatly reduce the Im portation of U. S. tobacco." The law. Republic Act 898, pro vides for the following import quo tas on ail foreign-grown leat tobac co: For 1952, 75 percent of the total importation ln l950 for 1953, 50 percent; for 1954, 40 percent and for ' succeeding years,: 25 percent of the total Importation In 1950. ; Under the provisions, the tobac co import quotas in 1953 amounted to 143 million pounds, and foe 1954 the quota is, about 11 million. In ; succeeding years, the annual; quo ta would be .around seven, million 'v pounds. ' The July amendments further " provide that " in 1954 and 1955, quotas may be increased to pro- vide for the importation of -enough ' tobacco which, when added to the total domestic leaf production, will permit the manufacture of tobacco , products in amounts equivalent to V" v of the previous fiscal year "y ' 'Ar Act B9B. as amended, how- . . - . t I. n U S. leaf tobacco can be d into the Philippines in or thereafter unless their, do . mestio production during the year j Insufficient to maintain the man- - oVeaptsjact at ' level equal to that of thajpreced- .The Leaf Tobacco Industry con tends 'that "should '.- the United "Jptates adopt similar policy and, v at the same time, establish a policy t- of increasing her domestic produc tions, most Philippine products - would be- completely eliminated from the U. S. market within a ) short time." t i ' In it's brief filed with the chair man of the U. S. Delegation to the . Philippine trade negotiations, the Leaf ' Tobacco Industry - contends that "Republic Act 696 violates Jhe spirit and intent of the existing trade agreement between the Unit ed States and Phillpplnesr. , ,' ' , The existing trade agreement pro. vides. : among i other things, that with certain exception Philippine articles could be Imported into the United States duty-free and that with certain exceptions U. S.' ar- ' tides could be imported into the Philippines duty-free until July- 4, 1954, By mutual agreement of the narties.? the: dutv-free berlod'has been extended 18 additional monthsJ . from. July 4, 1954. - 1 ' 7 ' " ; .t The present agreement, before the 1 duty-ffee provisions - were extend ed, provided that from 'July , 1964 to Decenber 31, 1954 the rate of im port duty Imposed by the" Phillp- pines tin V, 8. leaf tobacco would t be' five percent of the full irate which at the present time Is $4.08 , per kilo tor unstemmedv leaf and per kI vwt- stemmea leaii and that th rate be progressively innwiuil each rear until it reach- Vod 100 percent of the full rate n ; i inn .

S. tobacco in the Philippines be cmse Philippine mai- f ""turcrs had p-oumulated fairly lure! stocks of ' S. leaf prior to the implemen ion of this Jaw" The brief adds, I vever, that "recent reports indi-' r ! that manufacturers' Stocks are , , v,y much depleted, and that , ; k uJuction muat be cur- ffl NO. 47 tailed in the near future unless ade quate imports are permitted. These reports also indicate that some of the agencies concerned with estab lishing the supplemental import quotas as provided tor in the a mendments seem to be unneces sarily delaying the establishment of these quotas." "The imposition by either coun try of quotas outside of those set forth in -the trade agreement can vitiite the whole objective of the agreement " the brlf declared. "Im port quotas have already - upset trade relations of tobacco,'! the brief added, at the iame time pointing out that "Philippine products com irtg into the Unites States have not been curtailed or restricted other than as provided for in the Trade Agreement." The Tobacco Industry strongly urged that "the new trade agree ment between the U. S. : and the Philippines include the prohibition against the application of quotas by either country except as specif ically set out in the existing agree ment. "If the principle of quotas is ac cepted as a fundamental part of the new agreement we .strongly recom mend that United States conferees insist that quotas be limited to a minimum yearly "figure based on historical data.". .

The Editor Duplin Times Just thought I would write and tell you how much I enjoy reading the paper. Although not a native of N. C, I lived m Duplin Count y for about 21 years so I think of Duplin County as home, and, I must admit that I get pretty home sick at times, so it really does help when I go down for my mail on Monday morning to be handed the "good old rebel paper". Just like getting a letter from all the folks back home at one time. I read every word of it and don't miss a word, then I usually give it to my son and he goes through it so you see it is a "red" paper alright. I never realized how much I loved the ole home town until I icit it They call me a rebel here, but you know i)m proud of it. My, dad was a Lieutenant in the Clvif War so I really am a rebel don't you think? I have some wonderful friends up here, good Christian peo ple so you see God loves the yank ees as well as the rebels and I do too. May God Bless you this Thanks giving Day.

Under a production control pro gram, the allotment this year was 1,053,000 acres. But the department estimated in its report that 1,039,- I OOP acres actually were planted.

Actually, the cut will have little bearing on their profits,- since the reduction is aimed at balancing sup ply and demand, local farrriers pre- , diet. This certainly , should hold 1 prices up next season, they say, and -prevent a customary sag while ac companies overabundance. As a rule, a spokesman said, to bacco farmers make up for the lost acres in higher yields. In: fact new-, er varieties promise much higher yields per acre if farmers fellow recommended practices and prevent disease, insect- and drought prob lems. In general farmers welcomed a five percent reduction in their 1955 acreage allotments. The five per cent cut was favored by the North Carolina Farm Bureau because they foresaw the' possible wreckage of their tobacco program if surpluses, were continued to mount.
