SIKES SUGGESTS (Continued from Page One) do not particularly care for the Princess at this time. I will cite you a quote from one farmer I met up with, deleting, natural ly, that which might otherwise be censored on the Star-News copy desk. “In this section,” this farmer friend allowed, “we’re getting ready to send ’em three or four hundred thousand pounds of to bacco.” I assume that my friend was talking about the Britishers when he said “’em” and that he was talking also about the tobaccos that will be bought for British interests when the mar ket reopens here and which will be paid for through a com plex arrangement with the Com modity Credit Corporation, one of Uncle Sam’s moneybags. I did not go further with the suggested project to purchase a wedding present for the Prin cess. But I did go diplomati cally about to try to calm my friend. I told him the British just i didn’t have the money to buy tobacco now, that they needed what dollars they could scrape together to buy meat and bread. I went into all the austerity under which the British are hv ing and said we were just being nice to our Cousins across the sea by providing them with smokes In the first place, I didn’t want to start an argument over here in Duplin county that might have international com plications and repercussions. But my friend had other ideas. “I’ve been told,” he said, “that Americans buy millions of dollars worth , of Scotch whiskey from England every year. De we ask the British to lend us the money so we can buy this Scotch whiskey from them? I’ll answer that: We do not? “But we do not need this Scotch whiskey just like the British leaders work out that the Britishers don’t need our American tobacco. “How come, then, since the British don’t need our tobacco enough , to pay for it out of their own pockets and we do not need the Scotch whiskey, how come we can’t just swap the tobacco we grow that England wants f0r th® Scot^ whiskey some of our people \vann e ^ to me that'd be faire‘r giving the English theT to pay for our tobacco us paying for the Satrh XS key, too.” ' lctl whij.
