HAWAII IS NOT
ALONE IN Fight

American Sugar IRdustrq for Feb
-uary voices a complaint that the SUI
gar producers were not given an ade-
ouate chance to present their cause
before the committee on ways and
means last winter. Il states that the
time allowed the sugar men was 50
very limited that those who were
heard had to condense their state
ments to the limit and a number OF
prominent sugar men did not have an
opportunity to be heard AT all Yet,
lit is safe to say that even had every
sugar man been heard to the fun en-.
tent OF his desires there would have
been no difference in the outcome in
so far as the committee IS con-
cerned." Proceeding. the article gives
some interesting information regard
ing the fight for justice to the domes-
tic sugar industry. Following are ex-
tracts from the article:
The testimony and arguments OF
the men who pleaded for protection
for sugar, particularly the remarks of
Mr.. Truman q. Palmer, have been
given wide publicity in the newspaper
press and the press clippings of edi
torial reference to the subject and the
personal correspondence on the topic
that have since been pouring into
Washington indicate that public sem
timent has been considerably stirred.
"0ne very manifest result OF the
hearings has been 10 still further
sugar men and the refiners. The cir
cumstance that, aside from a repre-
sentative Of a Gamers association.
practically the only persons who APP
peared in advocacy of free sugar at
the hearings We're five refiners, has
naturally developed tense situation.
although the more bitter OF the beet
sugar men say that they are glad that
the refining interests have finally
'unmasked' and have, at last shown
their hand
"A development, however, that may
help the cause of the American sugar
producers is the present unusual sit
.uation whereby sugar is selling In the
middle west at lower prices than on
The Atlantic seaboard. All persons
who give any thought to the subject
cannot but find q potent object lesson
In the current situation wherein su-
gar Is selling in the central or middle
states at from one-haif to one-fourth
cent per pound less than in the east.
Verify this b quite a contrast from
the conditions Of several years ago
when the sugar price throughout the
United States was invariably the. New
York price plus the freight. There
ought to be tariff moral in this II It
can be brought home to the congress

argument can soon be clinched, for

or the invasion. The farsighted men
who have at heart the best interests
OF the American sugar industry as O.

A Warning to
Huerta fr0mE England.

London, Nov. lin welcoming in
common with the rest of the British
press. Premier Asquiths speech at the
Cnildhall.' last night, in which ne made
it plain that no antagonism existed
between Great Britain and the United
States in regard to Mexico, the West
minister Gazette which usually speaks
with authority, today, issues a signifi-
cant warning to Provisional President
Huerta.
The newspaper says the idea that
any valid election in the sense in which
Democratic or Constitutional coun-
tries understand the word, can be held
in Mexico is probably a diplomatic
fiction but the electoral test was of
General Huerta's own choosing and it
is we'll to keep him reminded that his
failure to conform to its result leaves
all oyernments free co reconsider their
act of recognition. The article contin-
ues:
Briefly, the limits of British action
are that the British government should
not put itself in position of making
protests which in default of foreible
action might be flouted and defied I;
but Diplomacy has other resources than
mere force, and Provisional President
Huerta may easily find that the atti-
tuGe of this country is in variety of
WAYS matter of great moment to
him.

Conditions have been growing worse

gale. This morning, at least one-half
of the street car service was out of
