URGES BRITISH LEARN
FROM UNITED STATES
Sugar Question Reaches Stage in
England Necessitating Cur
tailmcnt.
TO STIMULATE THE GROWING
Professor George Martineau, Of the
University Of London, Declares
Such Plan Would Also Cause
Manufacturers to Extract AL.
tBy Associated prcs..l

LONDON, June LIN report on the
sugar supply question in Great Britain.
Professor George Martineau. Of the
University of London. urges the Brit
iSh government to learn from Ger
many and the United States, which he
describes as the two countries which
have handled the sugar question most
SUCCESSFULLY" Speaking OF Germany's
success with sugar in the past decade.
he says: There are two causes at
the bottom of this mystery. Energy.
ability. efficiency and more than all.
persistent research. constituted the
first and best cause. But this was
supplemented by stimulus designed
to induce capitalists to risk their
money in the bcctroot industry.
1T was Germany that hit upon the
right kind of stimulus. 1t was bril-
liant idea and carried out with great
Judgment. The sugar duty was levied,
not upon the sugar produced. but the
roots. This at once stimulated the
farmer to produce the richest possible
quality of root, and the manufacturer
TO extract from the root the largest
possible quantity Of sugar. Great
pains were taken TO breed an improved
variety VI sugar Deet.
This research still goes on in Ger
many, and it's success has been astound-
ing. At the beginning the sugar beet
contained less than per cent of sugar.
In Germany the average quantity or
sugar actually extracted has been
brought up to practically is per cent.
That this wonderful result was
caused by the stimulus plus. of course,
great efficiency is proved by the fact
that poor France continued getting a
per cent yield until 1t adopted the
German system, and even then never
succeeded in catching up in the race
That is the worst of being late. In
industry it is fatal"
In the United States says Professor
Martineau. the industry has been so
carefully fosteTed that the production
has increased many-fold. "If America
had not created this great increase in
production" he explains. I'VE should
at the present moment be suffering
and SO would America-from real
sugar famine
I'm 1915 the consumption OF sugar
in the United States amounted to the
large figure of 100000 tons. every
ounce of which. with the purely acc!-
dental exception of $4,000 tons, came
from her own States, Territories and
protectorates. This striking fact is
entirely the result of giving a prefer
ence. The United States. so far as
sugar is concerned. is now entirely in
dependent of the outside world. and
is even able to spare us million tons
whenever we are short OF supplies"

Even though Workingman does
not himself do any work on this en-
