Mr.. President, in relation to the
price of sugar in England and France
three weeks ago the quotation for
sugar in England was $3.50, and at the
same time it was $3.50 in New York,
or 81 more in New York than it was
in England. That comes about by the
81 tariff that is imposed upon the
sugar that we import from Cuba, and
that Is not imposed upon sugar that
goes to England. The price was the
same barring the fact that we place
tariff tax upon the sugar that was
sold in this country.
Mr.. President, it Is the same today.

FORMOSA SUGAR
RIVALRY HURTS
Chinese TRADE

Hongkong's refining industry Is re-
ported by Consul George E. Anderson
to be severely affected by the record
breaking Formosan sugar crop Of 1915,
which is placed At approximately 44o,-
OCO tons, the largest IN the history OF
the island, says Facts About Sugar.
Invading Chinese Field
As a result of this heavy production
the Japanese refiners and exporters
have a large surplus in their hands
over Japans needs for home consump-
ton, and with the advantage Of cheap
freights and short nauls are shutting
Hongkong sugar out OF the central and
northern provinces OF China, which
have for years been Hongkong's par
ticular field.
So far this season the Hongkong
refineries have imported only about
$4,000 tons OF raw sugar, Of which
about one-half has come from Java
and the remainder from Formosa ana
the Philippines, in about equal
amounts. Total imports by Chinese
dealers have been below normal, not.
outstanding which their imports
from Formosa have been larger than
ever before.
Effect on Philippines
AS a consequence Of this situation
the outlook for the marketing of the
l.rge Philippine sugar crop ts not re-
garded as promising as 1t was some
time ago. Favorable transportation
conditions give Formosan and Japa-
ness sugars an advantage over PHI
lippine sugar in the Chinese trade.
while the same factor works against II
and IN favor of Java 80 far as the
United States market Is concerned.

Dsassir IN ihiagreas time. when

President has made his appeal TO

He isrigA in doing 80, for the
safety of our country just now is
in the hands Of our farmers.
What | mean is not merely our
safety and the safety Of our AL
lies in The matter Of food. ] mean
that the safety or the United
States against foreign Invasion
hangs on the decision of the far
mers Of the forty eight States.
The two great weapons in this
war are arms and starvation. The
war against German arms will be
won or lost In France. The war
against starvation win be won Or
lost in America. The Kaiser can
not whip the French and English
armies and the English navy
.
while England has food. But i
is still possible that the German
submarines may be able to keep
food enough from England to
starve her into submission.
