SOUTHERN TOBACCO MEN URGE DRASTIC MEASURES
Want Keller From British Embargo
Airplanes Shipped to Germany
WASHINGTON, August 8. — Representatives of Southern tobacco growers conferred today with Senators and Representatives to urge a protest against a British embargo against shipment of American tobacco to Germany and Austria beginning August 31. They want the government to intervene and have arranged for conferences with State Department officials and Secretary Lansing.
The delegation, which included tobacco growers of Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina from Maryland, appealed before the congressional delegations of the States. The tobacco growers proposed that this government take drastic measures against England and voted to present their protest to State Department officials.
Senator Martin, of Virginia, took the stand.
