Import Control

Sir, —“J.G.S.” may rest assured that he is not alone in feeling frustrated; but it seems that those of us who would welcome higher quality and greater variety in a number of commodities, notably clothes and shoes, are vastly outnumbered by those who, enviably enough, are contented with their lot. One might almost say, in fact, that it is a matter of not keeping up, but of keeping down, with the Joneses. Incidentally, why is everyone condemned to smoke Virginian cigarettes when, as many a tobacconist could testify, there was, until restrictions were imposed, a steady demand for Turkish brands by those who, for very good reasons of their own, preferred them to Virginian?—Yours, etc., VALE LIBERTAS. July 5, 1960.
