shipping boom will be greatly changed after

more than 49,. 900 passengers -.

SHIPMENTS OF
SUGAR To GO
MUCH ASUSUAL
Though All European Govern
mentS Are curtailing, They
Must Continue Buying

Future shipments Of refined sugar
| TO Europe will continue despite the
severance OF diplomatic relations Nth
Germany and the ushering in OF that
nations intensified submarine block
ade. according TO Information o:ta!ned
by Facts About Sugar at the various
offices Of the New York refinerS this
week. Officials OF both the American
Sugar Refining Company and the Fed
eral Sugar Refining Company stated
that shipments OF refined sugar TO
Europe would go on as usual unless
future International developments or
declaration of war brought about
their temporary curtailment. At the
Arbuckle and Warner offices no d.
rect statement could be obtained, but
it was intimated that the U boat edict
OF Germany would not hold up their
shipments to European purchasers.
No Sudden Change Expected IL.
The February shipments from ali OF
the New York refineries are reported
to be very light, and for that reason
no sudden change in shipping arrange
Eents is expected this month. As all
purchases made by European. buyers
are on a fob. basis New York. the
direct effect of Germary's new sn0ma-
rine policy will not be felt by local
refiners so far as actual deliveries
under contract are concerned for
either February or March shipments.
Whether the sugar purchased Twill
move forward promptly is another
question, and will be strictly prob
L., 70 aaf
The general opinion exists in the
trade, however. that while the refined
export business may go through pc
riod of stagnation during the present
unsettled shipping situation, and I'M
der the influence of strained relations
with Germany, in the long run, even
in the event of war, the European ma
tions that have been buyers in our
market in the past will be forced to
continue making purchases Of refined
in the United States to meet part
of their national consumption require
ments. II"
To Restrict Purchases ....-. +.
Undoubtedly foreign purchases will
DE restricted this year, compared with
1916, as practically every European
government is now regulating the dis
tribntion Of sugar with view to rla-
terially decreasing consumption AID
Tightening the burden of seeking sup
plies in foreign countries. Facing
such conditions the logical conclusion
TO be drawn is that falling off in the
tonnage of refined exports from last
year can be expected. On the other
hand, witt. the known sugar needs of
Europe taken into consideration, the.
total volume of refined exports for
the year will unquestionably be large
md of great Importance to domestic
refiners.
During the past week the export in

lated showing considerable activity.
Switzerland was reported in the mar.
ket for 10000 tons March, April, May

ing rumored that the refiners were
unable or disinclined to accept 1t at
this time.

JAPAN IN THE PACIFIC.

yiseount Notono. Japan's foreign minister,
said at the opening Of the Diet Yesterday that japan
desires the Allies to recognize her colonial pos
sessionsthe Pacific islands which she wrested from
Germany. When Japan occupied these islands it
was with the announcement to the world that they
would not be permanently held. There is no ques-
tion of Japanese assurances this point Premier
Count 0kuma indicated plainly that the islands
being seized as part Of Japans campaign to help
her allies, not as scheme of permanent conquest.
But japanese intention on this point seems to have
changed and the whole course of events in this
nection is probably part-and very typical part
-of Japanese imperial diplomacy The Mikados
empire is struggling to burst the bonds which mar
row geographical restrictions have forced upon it.
Korea was absorbed, then came the inyasiOns Of
Formosa, Manchuria and Mongolia Shut out of
North America, the japanese are eoIonizing rapidly
in South America the passenger lists of steamers
passing through Honolulu show. The Pacific islands
offer room-though not a great deal-to relieve the
overplus of japanese population her little islands
She must do two things this terrible pres
sure of population, and build up huge manufacture
ing industries to maintain her swarming population
at home And all Japans secret diplomacy is bent
70 achieve these ends. I ...>>. -
