CEYLON WOULD STOP DISHONEST TRADERS Adulterated Tea Brings a Number| of Complaints From Bgypt | By the Associated Press Colombo, Ceylon, March 21— plaints from Egypt concerning the] quality of a consignment of tea (rom Com- | this port have served to draw atten- tion to the fact that the trade in rub-| Dber leaves, labelled as tea, has hecome a minor industry in Ceylon The consignment to Egypt was re turned here and analyzetl. Tie report | of the analy it consisted of | S0 per cent tea ledves and | per cent leaves. The g | pearance of the latter had been changed by pounding them, staining| them with cochineal, and then treat- ing them with limewater. In one store in Colombo the Grim-| inal Investigation Department of the) government recently found 4,000 pounds of prepared rubber leaves. | The trade appears to be mainly with| Egypt hnd the Persian Gluf, although | It is likely that much of the tea ship-| ped to the Gulf eventually finds its| way inte Russia In spite of exisfing regulations deal- | ing with the exportation of tea, the| authorities are powerless to act, and the trade is carried on openly. The | difficulty lies in the lack of any legal| definition of tea. In the trade, tea is understood to be the infusion of the| » teaves of a shrub or small tree of the| Tamelia family. The dictionary defin.| th® national “dry” laws are modified. | ftion, howéver, includes beverages made of other substances, such as camomile tea and sassafras tea. Even it the rubber leaf concoction were wold in local bazaars, it is doubtful whether thke police could proceed against the vendors, for medical men who Rave tested the rubber leaves haws not found the drink made from them at all deleterious to health. Intimately bound up with this rub- ber leaf trade is a traffic in coarse red tea leaves and prunings. Certain Col- ombo merchants make a practice of #ending men to the estates to buy the coarsest red leaf sweepings and prun- ings which no reputable estate would send out for cataloging under its own mark. A bill is to be Introduced at the next session of the legislative council, prohibiting the sale or export as tea of anything except leaves of the bush. &8 commonly known as tea bushes.
