Excerpts: The subject matter of this resolution has been given exhaustive study and a report is transmitted herewith. Its preparation has involved a survey of the marketing conditions, consumption habits, and trade barriers in the many countries to which our tobacco is exported, the special conditions affecting commerce in individual types of American tobacco, existing legislation which might be invoked to facilitate foreign sales, consideration of the favorable and unfavorable effects which might result from recourse to artificial stimulants to export trade in tobacco, and finally the preparation of the report has involved a broad summarization of the byproducts uses of tobacco and the scientific research by which those uses may be extended. Problems involved in the possible use of export subsidies were discussed with responsible leaders in the tobacco export trade and the opinions which they unanimously expressed are in agreement with the conclusions set forth in this report.
