Al once sent her ships TO lava and
Sumatra to get what sugar she could.
Then America was notified that she
would take 400. 900 tons of the Cuban
crop and would like an option on an
additional one million tons.
If she could get her sugar cheaper
in these markets British would buy
only the small needed surplus from
the United States, but she would pro-
tert herself against a shortage by an
option on more. America, in the

sor1p DELEGATES TO THE PEACE CONFERENCE

which Will try to adjust all those
basic questions that have caused
endless trouble in Europe for many
decades. and have drenehed the world
In blood these last four years.
1t is toc~zhpch to expect that every

states and those who represent our
associates in the. war stand for re-
sponsibility and constructive action,
/ from which the very best results may
be confidently expected.
