Happily enough for Italians who are benyy smokers ennctions will not affect their supply of cigarettes and cigars.

During 1934 only 10.43 per cent. of the total tobacco used by the Govern ment monopoly was imported from foreign countries. The state monopoly on tobacco produced the Government an annual income of approximately 4,000,000,000 (b) lire, or about one- Ofth of the average yearly national budget.

The state monopoly has complete charge of all manufacture and sale of tobacco in the country. Prices are set by the menopoly and the qualities of tobacco established. This Govern ment supervised group has decreed that Italian-cigarettes of a good brand shall sell for & lire (about 41 cents)

and that import

(58 to 60 cents), a package.

In 1919 Italy imported about 80 per cent of her tobacco supplies. By 1996 the country had become second only to Greece as a, tobacco producing nation in Europe. In 1922 the num ber of hectares devoted to tobacco growing totalled 22,306 yielding a crop of 231,166 quintals. Last year the area devoted to tehacce numbered 36, 109 hectares from which 412,374 quintals were produced.

Raly's supplies of tobacco are bo- ing further augmented by her East African colonies. Eritrea In 1935 produced 164,300 pounds of tobacco of good quality, Lybia also produced aplendid tobacco which, is blended with Turkish blends to produce | especially ins ́elgarottes. '
