disturbs the manner Of by argu-
ment, the manner OF presenting this
matter; but l shall meet it now.
inst as we'll as later on.
domestic Buyers Get THE Worst nf it
Here is the situation With re-
gard to the purchase ii sugar or
the supposed competition for the
purchase of sugar between Tie Amer
lean consumer, and, say, the Brit
ish consumer. Here is the refiner
hat has, say, Il THOUSAND tons Of
sugar for sale, and here isan Amer
can iobber on the marketto buy a
thousand tons Of sugar. Here is &
British jobber to buy thousand
tons OF sugar. Now, let us see how
shis transaction proceeds.
The American jobber SAYS to the
refiner: Il am in the Market for
thousand tons Of sugar. At what
price can | get it?' The rnfiner
saws: You can get it at s cents
a pound, or 9 cents a pound, or :
cents a pound" as the case may be.
The price is satisfactory to the
American jobbers; but tie British
jobber says: Il will give YOU the
same price for the same sugar. l
will Give you 8 cents a Fund, or 8
cents. or T cents a pouni,' as the
case NAV be. Now, let ne ask any
n who grasps a busipss propo-
sition to answer this QUESTION: To
whom would he, as a nfiner, sell
that sugar? If he selk it to the
American jObber, he cts exactly
the price he n~umeratedin the con.
tract. If he sells it tothe British
consumer, he gets it fG that same
price, plus 1 cent for every pound
out of the Treasury. Who gets ,ht
sug "? Why, clearly the British
consumer gets the sugar. Clearly
a man conducting a big bushes:
enterprise is not so insane as tt
isay that he will take s cents from al
American customer when he ca
get 9 cents for the same thing from
a British customer.

but they have no right, un-
der the sanction of law, to sell sug-
ar cheaper to ! foreigner than thy
sell it to an American and
they dovit through the manipula-
.1iep of the drawback which the
Senator was defending the other
day upon the floor of the Senate.
Mr.. Smoot. Mr.. President, they
do it because Of the fact that our
allies are not compelled to pay the
duty that is imposed by the Amer
lean people upon sugars imported
inte this country. If the Senator
has his way, not only will England
and France and our other allies pav
the duty that is imposed upon sug-
ar imported into this country, but
they will also have to pay the con
sumption tx that is impo4ad in
this bill.
Mr.. Brousard. Let me ask the
Senator this question: is Che
Senator opposed-if he is, 7 have
not read it in his remarks-to the
British consumer of American re-
fined sugar, or the French consum-
er of American refined sugar, pay
ing the excise tax which he has put
on the same plane as this draw
back?
Mr.. Smoot. Mr.. President, OF
course | think it is unjust for this
reason, that the sugar that the
English Govt. purchases from Cuba
simply passes through America and
is refined on the way. 1t is un-
Just for America now to say. to
England, our ally, Because Of the
fact that you have been %purchas-
ing beet sugar in the past from
Germany and from Austria and
from France and from Russia, and
now the war prevents you from do
ing it and you IRE compelled to
turn to America to have 1t refined
we are going to compel you to pay
a cent and a half a pound on it,
Mr.. Broussard. Oh, but the Sen
ator knows that that is not true.
Mr.. Smoot. ]. is true.
Mr.. Broussard. 1t is not; and
the Senator, if he knows anything
about the situatiaon, knows that
| know that. | can make the stu
alton so plain to him and to any
other Senator that there will be
no mistake about the proposition.
Does the Senator mean to say that
the American refineries are nov
deducting the drawbacks from the
price Of sugar sold to the British
and the French Governments?
Mr.. Smoot. The Senator means
to say that, and he can prove it tC
the satisfaction of the Senator from
Louisiana or the Senate or the
United States.
Mr.. Broussard. The Senator
proposes to prove that very thing
Mr.. Smoot. That is what l say
that l can prove it.
Mr.. Broussard. Now MI. Presi
dent, l object to being longer in
terrupted. I do not want to en-
lgage in that sort of discussion: Blu
the matter is susceptible of abso
lutte proof. There can be no ques
