ferential tariff, and free competition in the
United States market will certainly benefit
that country, as the low cost of production
stated not to exceed on the average G8
los. per ton-places Cuban sugar in an ex-
ceptiOnally favourable position. The Philip
pine industry is in an elementary stage, but
there is every reason to believe that it can
be firmly established without assistance from
the United States.
Given then that the United States markets
are thrown open to free sugar, there is every
probability that the Louisiana industry will
go to the wall altogether, that the Hawaiian
production will dwindle to a small quantity
OF sugar produced under exceptionally fav-
Durable circumstance, and that the beet in
dustry will be abandoned. This means that
American grown sugar will pass out to the
extent Of say at least 100000 tons, q hia-
tus in the worlds supplies which will have
to be filled up from outside. A portion of
this might be supplied BY Cuba and q consi-
derable impetus VIII be given to other cheap
sugar producing countries, especially in the
neighbourhood of American ports.
II is, however, extremely difficult to ina
CINE that the United States will allow this
position Of affairs to come about, and, al
though the Bill will probably pass tbs House
OF Representatives IL its present form, there
is likely to be considerable opposition in the
Senate. But if the Gree sugar" part Of the
Bill is not carried, it is almost certain that
there will be q reduction Of duty, which will
also mean q reduction in the amount of the
Cuban preference. This will mean that the
New York market during the Cuban crop
will not be 50 far below the parity with the
worlds price as at present, and that conse-
quentIy the Canadian price, which is based
on the New York price, will be relatively
higher than heretofore, to the advantage of
the British West Indies.

America reporting the failure of Secretary
Bryau's mission and the probable passage

JUDGE on the part of the Californians in
their determination to ruin or drive out the
japanese residents. Commercial retaliation
against California was advocated.
Resolutions affirmed that while Japan had
hitherto appreciated and respected the ira
ditional friendship and believed that Ameri-
cans generally desired to afford the japanese
the same protection and privileges as other
foreigners, the State of California was deter
mined to violate Observation-Disclosures treaty,
thus e%stranging and seriously affecting dip

SUGAR AND THE UNITED STATES
TARIFF.
{ ". l. Committee C5rcuJ0r.l

- < ~ ttNNNF J
The new American Pariif Bill. which was
introduced into tho United States Congress
on April It'll, provides for o radical change
rs regards the attitude of that country to-
wards sugar. In 1t the present Customs
duty on that article, q duty which provides
protection for sugar to the extent of nearly
f8 per ton for high grade sugar, is to be re-
duced by Is per cent. for three years, and
then to be abolished altogether. II this
item Of the Bill is accepted, the effect on the
industry of the United States VIII be q seri-
GUS one, while q considerable change will
take place in the distribution and sources of
supply of the worlds sugar. AT the present
moment the sugar consumption Of The Uni
ted States is somewhere III the neighbour
hood of 100000 tons. Towards tins the
United States contributes 600, 600 tons Of
beet, 10000 tons of cane from Louisiana
and Texas, 800 600 tons from Porto Rico,
and SOC, coo tons from Hawaii, in all TOO
900 tons. In addition to this Cuba can sup
ply over 10000 COX tons and the Philippines
100000 tons under preferential conditions.
What viii be the effect Of the proposed
fiscal arrangements, if they come into opera
ton
The reduction of the duty TO the extent
OF rs per cent will not in itself lead to disas-
ter in the case of the United States indus
tries proper, but in view Of the total aboli-
ton of the duty at the end of three years,
there certainly will be no expansion, and in
every probability diminished maintenance.
After that what will be the position?
AS far rs Louisiana is concerned it may
be taken that the industry will disappear.
Strictly speaking, the semi-tropical condi-
tiOns of Louisiana are not adapted to the
sugar cane, sufficient time not being avail
able for growth to secure q good return Of
cane. From the same cause the canes are
poorer in sugar than those of tropical coun-
tries. Labour also is costly, although under
a nonprotective tariff this would be, in the
natural course Of events, less so than at pre-
sent. The beet industry, although un-
der favourable climatic conditions, also suf-
fers from high wages; but apart from this
there is no record of o beet sugar industry
being able to exist without fiscal protection.
In the case of Hawaii a serious condition
of things will be brought about. The cost
of production is high,-the average figure
for 1912 being in the neighbourhood of 914
per long ton-and although this would be
undoubtedly lowered by cheaper labour, it is
not possible that Hawaii can compete with
cheaper cane-producing countries on q free
sugar basis. 1t lacks the farming conditions
of Cubs and Porto Rico which do so much
to cheaper canes. In Porto Rico there will
certainly be no expansion, although in any
circumstances there is hardly room for this
in the island. Cuba will be affected favour
ably. The Cuban planter has not of late
years received any advantage from the pre-
