The for ign share of Formosa's trade showed some increase during 1993 and the first three
months of 1924, particularly during the latter period, when the proportionate increase of the foreign share, so far as indicated by Customs statistics, was over per cent. Japan maintained its wonted share of about 30 per cent. of the total, but a certain deduction must be made in respect of goods of foreign origin imported vid Japan.

Of course, sir, tastes differ. Some people have judgment and others have none. But I've more respect, sir, for the man who smokes always an inferior cigarette than the man who smokes good ones one day and just anything the next. Yes, sir, I can say it posi- tively hurts to hand Kensitas to such smokers. Kensitas were not intended for such poor. judges because Kensitas are too good to waste. No, sir, they were made for you and all good judges of good cigar-
ettes.
