SYDNEY, April 30. Giving evidence before the Fedoral selection committee into the Australian tobaeco industry, Mr J. H. Walker, secretary of the Tobacco Workers' Union, descrihed the Anstralian-grown leaf as distinctly inferior, and if the public were forced to smoke it by reason of a prohibitiv© tariff on imported leaf, then the consumption of tobacco would fall 50 per cent. Only a mere handful of growers were producing first-grade leaf. Mr H. Minns,_ another union official, said the Australian leaf was very hard to work. It did not hold its condition or remain pliahle.
