TOOL OF GERMANY
Urges Socialist Peace Commit
tee Sit Permanently.
american Delegate Really Is
Russian and Unauthorized.

Stockholm, June 21.-The self
styled American delegates to the
German-called Socialist peace con-
ference played directly into the hands
of the Germans today. They notified
the ch-ScandinaviaI committee
that they would recommend that the
present conferences be made perma-
nent thruout the period Of the war.
This fits exactly into German plans.
The PruSsians are exceedingly anx-
ious to have the meetings here drag
along in order that their peace plot
ting may be continuously carried on.
DIR. Max Goddard one of the Amert-
declares III a report submitted to the
Dutch Scandinayian committee that
the American Socialist party is strictly
neutral. His report says:
''Altho the United States is already
in the war l can say that the position
of the American Socialist party as a
whole is strictly neutral and thoroly
International
Speaks in Name of Berger.
The report calls for the creation of
a permanent Socialist committee to
work for a permanent peace A sec
ond recommendation deals with the
composition of the congress which
will be called upon to settle the issues
of the present struggle and demands
a congress of representatives of the
nations and not of the governments. y
DIR. Goldfarb continues THE gov
ernments have forced upon the masses
this terrible war Let the masses force
upon the governments such an inter-
national arrangement as would make
a repetition of this carnage impos-
sible'
DR.. Goddard told the committee
that he spoke in the names of Morris
Hillquit, Victor Berger, and of the
whole American Socialist party. His
report declares there is no war feel
ing among the workers in America
Goddard Is a Russian.
Altho DR.. Goddard, who is con-
nected with the Forward of New York
described himself at Stockholm as a
representative of the American So
cialist party Socialist leaders in this
country state he has not been author
lied to act on behalf of the party.
Abraham Cahan, editor of the For
ward said today that DR.. Goddard
had never received credentials from
the party and was not an American
but a Russian citizen.

sales for the week aggregated $500
tons Cubas. 10 tons Porto RicOs
and 100 tons full duty sugars.
The outstanding feature In an other,
wise uninteresting week was the vol,
untary agreement between the major
ity Of beet interests and Mr.. HOOV er,
the food administrator, to limit the
price for beet graduated 10 a maxi
mum of 725c, cane sugar basis, fob,
seaboard refining ports.
With such difference between this
maximum price and soc, less > per
cent by cane refners, it is quite ma
tural that the demand for cane re-
fined should be materially reduced.
New business is limited to the imme-
date needs for prompt delivery. as
beets are not yet available. These
sugars will not begin moving before
the middle of October and not very
freely until much later in the year.
The volume of the demand until
beets are available in sufficient guam
titles will govern the immediate flu
ture of the market. Practically the
only source of supply until that time
is Cuba, and consequently holders
there are the controlling factor. The
limited quantity OF sugar available in
the island is scattered amongst num-
Der of small holders, and no indivi-
dual owns any considerable amount.
This being the case, it is difficult to
buy even moderate quantities except
at advancing prices. The stock in all
hands at the Atlantic PORTS is only
1884 tons and importers holdings
are nil, whereas on the same date
last year these amounted to 124. 029
tons. There is practically nothing
more available from Porto Rico and
exports from the Philippine islands
will not arrive until later in the year,
consequently the only sources of sup,
ply for the present are Cuba and Ha,
wall.
Cables from Cuba report that heavy
rains have been general throughout
the island, and these will be very
beneficial to the coming crop.
The receipts for the week at the
three Atlantic ports were $685. tons,
compared with 1852 tons last year
and 35,54S tons in 1915.

COFFEE GROWERS
IN BAD PLIGHT
tspsctu s,ar. BuGct-D Correspondence. ,

HiLO. SEPT 10 From kona com S
troubled letter Inch il written py
T Shibayama. the wcll-hnO~n coffee
mill man OF kedlaheHua. The com
muniCatiOn tells al the lilikias OF the
coffee growers
According 10 ShIDa. anna, the total
acreagr cultivated to coffee in kOna
amounted to about 5o"' last June, OF
which, about $500 are cultivated by
japanese farmers. The number OF
japanese families engaged in coffee
cultivation comes TO neatly Zoe,
which makes a population Of 5000, in
Guiding the children. or the total
acreage about 800 have been given
over by the farmers to their credl-
tors, because OF the inability OF the
farmers to pay their debts, or else
on account OF various diseases that
have attacked the trees.
The coffee grow crs are facing a
financial crisis, says Shibayama. From
the present market price OF coffee
on the mainland il may he expected
that the price will fall still lower in
Kona this year. If so, declares tue
coffee magnatc. KOna will receive q
severe blow that will mean Crisis
in every way.
The kona man suggests that dele
CATION of the editors Of tne Japanese
newspapers OF Honolulu be invited to
visit Kona and talk with the coffee
raisers. Meetings could be held and
the editors could explain the real sig
nificance of the present situation to
the farmers and give them advice
which would encourage them to man
age things so as to pull through the
crisis. Shibayama believes that this
plan will also afford an opportunity
to the newspapermen to investigate
conditions in Kona and to find out why
there is so much idle land in that dis
trict and also of the possibility OF
building up the coffee industry in the
future.

CROP REPORTS
SHOW INCREASE
IN BEET SUGAR

WhSHINGTON. /. G. Aug. II -
In its August report OF crop COndt'
tons and prosDpcts. which may be re.
gardpd as a preliminary harvest state
ment. the bureau OF crop estimates
revise downward from the July fore
cast its calculation q the prospective
sugar beet production in the United
States for the Sc IN now opening.
The bureau now estimates the prob
able bee. crop at 1925. 900 tons. The
July figure was 100000 tons.
Even AT the August figure, however,
the bureau forecasts a crop for 1917
Ct 1885,. 900 tons more than last year.
Its returns for 1915 put he quantity
Of beets paid for at G.22S.000 tons, and
the amount actually worked up at
5.920,0 900 tons. Should the 1917 crop
come up to the figure now given the
increase in production over 1916 viii
be slightly more than % per cent, the
largest production gain in any one
year in the recent history OF the dom
cstic beet sugar industry.
Turned into terms Of sugar the
1917 crop, at this rating and with the
same percentage of sugar content as
last year, 1886 per cent, will give
an output OF 1,0S3,s52 tons of sugar.
Thus. should the crop come up to
present expectations, domestic beet
sugar production will this year for
the first time reach the million-ton
mark. and will exceed by over 100000
tons the previous record crop of 1915
which was S74.22O tons.
The condition Of the crop on August
is announced to be 90.3 per cent. as
compared with s2.4 per cent on July
]. This is, however, a much better
showing than that of August /, year
ago, when the condition was given as
only S6.4.
The bureau calculates the probable
yield per acre for this year at 1908
tons, against a yield of 1886 tons for
last year and an average yield of 1856
tons for the five-year period 1911-15.
