' Tobacco and Sugar '
A dramatic interlude written for broadcasting by RHODA POWER
Today's broadcast will tell you of the British settlements across the Atlantic and of the planters who grew tobacco and sugar. You will hear something of their rivals, of their labour problems, and of the difference which England's overseas trade was making to her people at home.
Remember that your part of the work comes after the broadcast, when you talk about it among yourselves, or try to answer some of the questions in the pamphlet, and see how these separate stories fit into what is called 'chronological history'.
