playing in league with the SUI
gar trust.
The price of sugar retail in
Pendleton at this time is IL
pounds for one dollar, or a
fraction over nine cents a
pound.
Before we were at war and
before we had assumed the OBJ
legation of helping supply the
allied nations with their por-
ton of the world sugar supply
the price was not materially
lower than this. If this pa
per is not mistaken the old re-
tail price here was Is pounds
for a dollar.
This is not a heavy adj
vance in price considering
world conditions and consider
ing the fact that the sugar
business is VIGOROUSLY in the
hands of a few people.
The advance in the price of
sugar is not at all in keeping
with the advance in the price
of wheat, flour or pork pro-
duets. If the sugar trust had
a hold on the food administra-
ton it may be taken for grant
ed the sugar price would be
considerably higher than it is.
The sugar manufacturers have
not established a reputation
for disinterested public service
without profit and it is but
fair to credit the present price
to the work of the food admin
istration, Claus Spreckles to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
Another feature of the stu
alton to keep in mind is the
fact the Hoover organization
is working not primarily to re-
duce costs to the consumer but
to so handle food supplies that
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1917-12-17

famine may be avoided in this
country and in the nations that
fight upon our side in the war.
The problem is to increase pro-
duction to the maximum,
which calls for profit for the
sugar grower and manufacture
er, and to so divide the supply
as to get the best results all
around. Hoover's first pur-
pose is to handle supplies in
such a manner as to win the
war; the next object being to
prevent extortionate prices. 1t
would seem that if with refer
ence to all supplies he can be
as successful as he has been
with sugar all will be we'll.

HOW A BIG BANK JUDGES
MEN.

n RANK Vanderlip, the
TT president of the Nation
al City Bank, tells in an
article in the January Ameri-
can Magazine how men are
judged for positions in the
bank. The author says:
Here are some of the
things by which the City
Banks interviewers are in
structed to judge men:
appearance and manner:
Judge how we'll the applicant
will impress customers by his
physique; facial expression;
clothing; neatnesS; voice;
cheerfulness; self confidence;
courtesy.
"Initiative and Self Reli-
ance: Consider his ability to
start things without being
shown or told, and his self-de-
pendence after having once
been shown his work or given
a task.
'Industry: Judge his ener-
gy and perseverance. Base
your judgment on his personal
history sheet application
blank, all reports, and your
impression from contact with
him.
character: Judge his
character, having in mind am
bition, honesty, thrift, loyalty,
spirit of service, and freedom
from drinking, gambling, and
other immoral acts.
Personal History.
Reports: Consider reports
from his previous employers
and from any other sources
both the content of the reports
and the reliability of the
sources.

LUDICROUS JUDGMENT.

I@ PARTISAN critic of the
~ administration still insists
it was a mistake not to send the
Roosevelt division" to
France. That division existed
only on paper and included
some 100 men who had offer
ed their services under the col
onel. Most of them wanted
to be officers. How much
talent they had is not known
nor is it known they could
have passed the physical eX-
aminations: In large part
they were politicians seeking
distinction. Instead of send
ing such an outfit to France
the government sent General
Pershing, a soldier tried and
true, and with him a trained
soldiery from the regular army
and national guard. Those
who think it was a mistake to
do this may mean we'll but
their judgment is weak and
not to be taken seriously.
