Nelson, President Roose velt's special representative in China, bluntly warned the Chinese today that their plight will become "very precarious'' nnlers they im mediately triple lagging war produc tion. "We cannot realistically expect the military position of China to improve very much until China wins j her Rattles of producton and sup ply,' Nelson said in an address to the people's political council in Chungking. He likened China's position to that of the United States after Pearl! i Maibor and called on all free China to cooperate with the newly-organized Chinese war production beard in meeting industrial goals. Upon such cooperation, he said, depends the success of the war plans of the United Nations and the lives of thousands of Chinere, American and British soldiers.

"The productive effort and morale of the civilian population can make the difference between victory and defeat for fighting troops," he said. "I saw that proved in Russia." Nelson hailed the formation of the Chinese WPB as the "biggest econ omic step yet taken by China toward the destruction of our common en emy" and suggested that Chinese industrialists learn from American production experience.

The quest yields myriad facts and clues and an occasional gift of a stray cigaret, but no solution. A check of treasury tax receipts shows that 10,000,000,000 fewer cigarets were released for purchase in this country in 1944 than in 1943, while 40,000,000,000 more smokes were shipped abroad to fight ing forces this year than last. Records of the House Agricultur al Committee, now conducting hear ings into the subject, reveal testi mony that the 1944 tobacco crop is the largest in history and that, in addition, warehouses contain 18 months reserve supply of cigaret tobacco. Committee Chairman John W. Flannagan, Jr., D., Va., a cigaret smoker himself; Vho knows the bite of an unfamiliar brand, is now studying testimony given his group yesterday to determine whether the inquiry should be pushed on. "We've proved that the persons who are trying to blame the situa tion on a shortage' of tobacco leaf are dead wrong," Flannagan said. "We have absolved the grower of responsibility I wonder if the com- WALGREEN AGENCY YOUR PRESCRIPTION STORE SQUIBBS TOOTH POWDER SPECIAL Made of safe effective cleansing and polishing agents.

Flannagan pointed out, too, that the testimony refuted charges that the agriculture department's acre age restrictions on tobacco the only crop still restricted were the cause of the shortage. ''Why, in 1944 the growers were authorized to plant 223,000 acres more than they actually planted," Flannagan said. "They never utilize the full acreage authorization." The chairman further observed that in his opinion "there has been an effort all along to discredit the agriculture department's tobacco program" because since its inception in 1934 it has quadrupled prices to growers.
