Big DROP in SUGAR
PRICE IS PREDICTED
Earl d. Babst, American Men,
ber of International Commit
tee Foresees Tumble

NEW YORK. Jan. 1l.-Sugar viii be
dirt cheap" before long. according TO
Earl u. Babst. head OF the American
Sugar Refining companq and one
of the three American members OF the
International Suglr Committee.
Now. one Of the cheapest foods on the
basis of food value, sugar Is destined to
see big drop In price. according u
Mr.. Babst Package sugar. he said,
would result in n great saving of the
article which is occupying the combined
attention of powerful nations.
After the new supplies are received
from cuba and refined. ana prices are
lowered under the proposals Of the food
administration. sugar will pe one of the
cheapest, if not the cheapest. food to
go on the American table" was the con-
fident prediction of Mr.. Babst.
Sugar economy will he aided mate
rally. Mr. Babst asserted. by distribut-
ing it in packages.
81 presume the public. being interested
in having the sugar supply conserved,
is equllly interested in knowing why
sugar IN packages can be more econou-
ically distributed than loose sugar." lie
said, explaining the reason rs follows:
"In the first place, package sugars
are weighed and packed by machine.
This saves the grocer's time and stops
his loss by spill iEe which occurs when
sugar has to be scooped by hand out OF
a barrel. carried to the scales, weighed
and tied In paper bags And when he
counts this saving, plus the value of his
time and the cost of paper bags and
string. he finds he can handle package
sugar more economic ~
sugar in packages also enables him
to restrict sales to actual needs. to make
it go as far as possible. In our own ey-
pericnce during the recent period of
great scarcity. we were able to dis
tribute sugar more widely because. in
stead of sending IA barrel of $50 pounds
TO one grocer, we could send the same
number of pounds in three cases of 12o
pounds to three grocers."

Within the few days O'Neil will
make an ann'S icement that will clearly
define his platform and open still wider
the factional SPLIT between the Penrose

that he will not be II candidate.
Whether the Governor will issue any

O'Neil is not known. Friends OF ONeil
are urging him to prevent any Brum-
