Dictators and tyrants cannot exist for long where the press is truly free. In the editorial rooms of one of our leading North Carolina papers is this appropriate quotation from that great apostle of demecracy, Thomas Jefferson: “ ‘If the choice were left to me whether to have a free press or a free government, I would choose a free press.’ “The preservation of a free press depends not alone upon Constitutional guarantees. A press T;o remain truly free must continue to show itself worthy of freedom. Whenever an oth erwise free press permits itself to be used for purposes of prop aganda or prejudice, or suffers itself to become subservient to political pressure or commercial domination, it impeaches its own right to be free. “Criticism and denunciation are the legitimate weapons of a free press. But a free press can not exist upon these alone. Con structive comment, affirmative advocacy of things worth while, devoted adherence to sound prin ciples of government and a burning zeal for civic righteous ness and political morality are under way.

If credit ar. rangements can be made, and I hope' this will be possible, whereby pay ment in the fonni ot exchange is not required to take dtlivery of the to-| bacco under option it seems less like- i ly that a quota will be invoked. "How much of this lost business | will eventually be regained depends entirely upon the outcome of the war. An ultimate loss seems inevitable. It is purely a question of the extent of the loss.” Ficklin said that “if it develops that neither Great Britain nor the countries now occupied by Germany can import any of the 1940 crop, which seems likely, and the other countries of the world do not increase their purchases, and it seems unlikely that they will—China being a possi. ble exception—our total exports will drop to approximately 120,000,000 pounds, of which other types will ac count for 50,000.000 pounds and flue- cured 70,000,000 pounds. to train with the 36th Field Artillery.
