Britain Puts
Embargo On
j. S. Tobacco

London, Jan. 18.-(AP)-British
tobacco manufacturers, responding
to government decree, today were
stated reliably to have stopped the
importation of American tobacco.
They were reported to have
! enough in stock for normal two
and-a-half years demand, and like
ly to use Turkish or Balkan tobaccos
| in blend with these stocks.
The embargo will be for an indie
finite duration.
, Most of the tobacco imported by
Britain is Virgnia-gr She took
l4.OG1,255 pounds (about S70,000,0G0)
worth Of American-groWn tobacco in
1897.
Move Explained.
Arthur Dunn, director of a num-
Der of tobacco companies explained:
"Thc government has very wisely
decreed that in order to conserve the
country's supply of American dollars
we should cease to import American
tobacco and has limited this embargo
may remain for an indefinite period"
Another consideration was set forth
today by the labor member of par
lament, Hugh Dalton. who demand
cd that British tobacco magnates" be
required to buy Eui opean and near
eastern tobaccos to help "our gallant
friends the Turks, the Greeks and
the Bulgarians. A similar view was
expounded by Robert Boothby, con-
sentative.
To Try New Blends.
The British have been arranging
q number of trade agreements with
European and near eastern neutrals l
which involve taking quantities of
tobacco which formerly found a mar
ket in Germany.
The board of trade government |
department) and prominent manu-
racturers have been negotiating over
the possibility of blending Balkan and
Turkish tobaccos with the straight
Virginia type:
Dunn explained that the new
blend probably would contain about
10 to is per cent Balkan and Tur-
kish tobacco which would "be hard
" pcrceptible" to the average smok-
er.
He said that during the world war,
when Turkish tobaccos were not
available in Britain, the public taste
swung 10 Virginia tobacco, but might
wing back to Turkish in the present
var. II

Pl1antoms Play
Y. NJ. ]. Cadets
Friday Night
By TOM BOST, JR.

Chapel Hill, Jan. l8.-North
Cardinals White Phantoms face
their third strong basketball oppon-
ent of the week here Friday night
in Woollen Gymnasium when they
run up against the highly touted Y.
NJ. I. Cadets, bolstered by the ad-
dition of their crack football back
field of Paul Shu, Bosh Pritchard,
Son Shelby and Nelson Catlett.
Much interest is also conferred on
the appearance of Durham High
Schools crack qulnt against the
Carolina freshmen in the prelim-
mary feature beginning at o'clock.
The varsity game will start at $50.
In their only contest since mid
year exams the Cadets almost threw
bonbshell in the path OF Dukes
Little Blues and pushed the Blue
Devils all the way before losing ]
narrow-squeak 1928 decision. V.
M. I. played Duke without the ser
vices of Paul Shu, star center, who
is still handicapped by a recurrence
of an old football injury. "Pounding
Paul., the Conferences leading
football scorer for two seasons and
also one of the top pointmakers in
basketball, will probably play Fri
day.
The No. individual duel of the
evening pits Shu against loot 5
inch George Glamack, who has
rolled up a remarkable average of
80 points game.
In addition to its football cele-
brities, V. NJ l. has Bob Foster, one
of Dixie's best ball handlers, and
Eddie Stumpfe and Eddie Gayle, a
pair Of excellent forward marks
men.
Carolina will again be without
Ben DilWorth, who is still on the
