WHY JAPS FAVOR BONE DRY LAWS FOR AMERICANS "YANKEES OF THE EAST" ARE NOT LOSING SIGHT OF THE PROFITS By RALPH H. TURNER (United Press Staff Correspondent) TOKYO, June 10 (By Mail)—Several millions of Japanese whose livelihood depends directly or indirectly, on the tea industry are today rooting for a "bone dry" America. The connection between the tea fields of Nippon and the brass rail of the United States isn't as vague as it appears, for George F. Mitchell, supervising tea examiner of the United States treasury department, who is in the orient inspecting the tea industry, has made the statement that the big boom in America's tea consumption may be done to the spread of the prohibition wave. In 1916, according to Mitchell, America drank 109,500,000 pounds of tea and is consuming more of the beverage every day. Tea from Japan is the most popular in America. Forty-two and two-tenths percent of the tea America drinks comes from this country and Formosa. And over one pound of tea is drunk per capita in the United States, says Mitchell.
