A RAW EXCUSE FOR A STEAL

We are in receipt Of a circular
signed by the Domestic Sugar
Producers" explaining why the
price Of sugar is high" We have
never seen SO lame and illogical an
eXcus put out to give a plausible
apology for n deliberate graft.
Let Us analyze il d little 1t gives
as a primary reason for the advance
in price the statement that ''cut Off
by the outbreak of the war from
her supply of $500, O0r tons of
sugar o%rdinarily secured from Ger
many and Austria-H Hungary, Eng
land turned to the nearest avail
able sugar market, which happened
to be New York. Backed by cash,
assuming all the war risk involved
in shipment and ready to paw what
ever prices might be necessary 10
secure sugar, British buyers irvad-
cd the market. Within little more
than a week thew purchased almost
1000. 900 tons of raw and refined
sugar, bidding up the market near
ly 3 cents per pound"
That statement is full Of holes.
England absurhs no lao, 600 tons
Of beet sugar annually. in normal
times from Germany and Austria.
1t is astounding that any band Of
thieves should so count on the ig-
norance Of the public as to make
such a statement. That would give
every man, woman, and nursing
baby in the United Kingdom more
than 70 pounds each of sugar at
nually.
Again it says that the English
"buying subsidized temporarily only
when they found it impossible to
secure prompt transportation"
That means that nearly 100, 900
tons have been shipped away since
the war started.
1t would require venty very
large ships to carry away that
much sugar, and no twenty, no ten
no five ships loatcd with sugar
have left our ports since the war
broke out. The balance of the
article is just as outrageous as the
statements we have copied above.

KAISER'S GOVERNMENT
THE MARK

There is no antl-German senti-
ment among the people or in the
Press of this country, as some dis
tin9uished German residents writ
ing to newspapers seem to think.
We have too many German citizens,
respect them too much, owe too
much to their industry and 'oyalty
ever to have anything but the best
feeling towards the Germans.
1t is against the German govern
Eent and its policy that the pres
ent indignation is directed against
the kaiser with his viii d militia rism
that is now working havoc in all
Europe and has brought Germany
itself face to face with ruin.
American public opinion holds
the kaiser's government responsible
tor destroying the peace of Europe
and bringing distress upon the
whole world. 1t was the kaiser's
government with its year of sacri.
fee" that started the last orgy of
prepai ation for war, whose after
effects are being realized today.
The kaiser could have held hack
Austria Hungary when Servia
humbled herself. The world looked
to him to save it but he did no.
thing.
The nations of the Triple Entente
went into the fight with reluctance
that showed some sense of their re-
spnnsibility as civilized powers. But
the German government flung Ger
many in without counting the costs,
without even stopping to find out
where its ally, Italy stood; eager to
strike the first blow with that huge
engine of destruction in which he
had such mad confidence.
American public opinion is out
ragged by the wanton attack on the
weak neutral power of Belgium
and the Staying Of its subjects. 1t
recoils at the cost of what the kais-
er has undertaken. 1t has no SYM
pathy with the xcuse that this is
a war of self preservation for Ger
many. That is a m~ilitaristic DEUS
ion. Under peace Germany was
outstripping its rivals, filling EGG
land With anxiety on the sea and
putting out of the beau of france
its cherished visions of n regained
Alsace and Lorraine.
American opinion feels that the
best thing that can happen to the
world is to have the German mill
taristic idol shattered and thrown
down IN the dust. Without the least
feeling against the German people,
that is how the American public
feels about the present German
government and its works and that
sentiment is rightly reflected in the
American press. New York Tri-
