WORLD SHORTAGE
IN BEET SUGAR
Allied Beet Production FalIs one-thlrd
In Rigid War Economy
Praoticed.

The world today Is producing forty
per cent. less beet sugar than the pre-
war average.
Counting the American, Allied and
German-Austrian crops, az well as the
neutrals, the q. 8. Food Administra-
ton has estimated that the world
shortage created by the light crop Of
1D17-1e18 IL at least three and q half
million tons.
That the 1917-1o18 crop Of cane sug-
ar was two million tons In excess of
the previous year does not relieve the
general shortage.
Cuba and Java produce one-half Of
the world cane crop, and the Java sug-
ar is too far removed from America to
transport when shipping is badly need
ed to transport and maintain the mill
tary forces In France.
In Java large part Of the old sugar
crop is still awaiting shipment. Since
It requires $50 to 100 days for each
boat that Is sent to Java, the possibili-
ties of obtaining adequate shipments
Of Java sugar this season are remote.
Allies Production Falls.
Taking the Allied nations as a group,
official reports show that beet sugar
production is less by one-third than the
pre-war average.
French beet sugar industry has suf-
fered most by the war. The French
yield Of beet sugar Is now only 20.1
per cent. of the pre-war average.
For the five years preceding the out
break of hostilities In Europe, France
produced an average Of 752,542 tons Of
sugar each year. For 1918 the
French production was 219, 416 tons.
With 81 factories operating, as COM
pared with more than 200 that were
In existence before the war and before
the general campaign Of destructive
ness launched by the German armies,
France nevertheless managed to manu-
facture more beet sugar in 191T-18
than in 1867, when the total output
was 202,415 tons.
Italy In 1918 produced 100000
tons of beet sugar, which was $1,000
tons less than the previous year and
TIC, 250 less than the annual output of
sugar for the FIVE year pre-war pc
Rod.
One of the great difficulti-s expert
enced In Italy's beet sugar industry
was finding sufficient labor to handle
the crop. Thousands of men usually
employed in beet sugar production
were called for military service. The
yield per acre amounted to approx
matefy half Of the usual quantity of
heets harvested.

Henry Ford's Pacifsm.

When the war began there was no
more ardent pacifist than Henry
Ford. His peace ship expedition,
rich in possibilities for the humorist.
madden enterprise than Don Quix-
ote dreamed of, was in one respect
useful. 1t educated the unsophisti-
Gated gentleman who psid the bills.
If the tuition fee was large it was at
least paid from an amply provided
pocket.
Nowadays Mr.. Ford is-in his own
words in magazine article-the
sort of pacifist the following para
graphs reveal:
l don't believe in wcr. 1t is un-
bclievable to me that any man with a
shadow of love for his fellow beings
should believe in war, with its unut-
terable cruelties and barbarism, but
| do believe in this war. believe in
it because ii is a war against all
wars. When it is forced by a vic
torious end by the United States, and
our Allies, as it surely will be, we
can impose upon the world such
terms as will make impossible for
ever the renewal of any projects of
military aggression and world con-
quect. We can and will limit arma-
ments, both military and naval, in
all the world, not of Germany alone
but of our own associates and of our
selves as we'll, for we must be on
guard lest triumph breed militarism
in our own land.
l was convinced as soon as ! had
an opportunity to study the war
situation in Europe at first hand
that this war could be ended only by
crushing the foes of peace. Ever
since 1 returned from the peace ship
expedition / have devoted all my
thought, energies and resources to
this end.
Henry Ford did not go in for ed
ucation in early life, but his capacity
to learn is such that had he devoted
himself to learning rs he devoted
himself to the study of the internal
combustion engine and the problems
of manufacture and distribution ne
would have been by this time the
president of ono of the greatest uni
: Pacifists who unlike Henry Ford |
cannot learn that peace 10 possible
only thru crushing the foes of peace
are fools or pro-Germans. The fools
have about abandoned a hopeless
argument. The espionage and sedi-
ton laws, without having visited up
On traitors or spies the punishment
they deserve, have at least suppressed
The blatancy or the hired men and
who used to aid Germany byi

DR.. Solf, the German Secretary
for Foreign Affairs, has sent another
message to President Wilson on the
important question of peace. This
time Germany processes to accept all
the conditions for an armistice and
eventual peace as laid down by Presi-
dent Wilson. The reply indicates
Germany's willingness to evacuate
occupied territory under an agree
ment to be reached by the military
chiefs in the field. 1t is announced
in the note that all submarine COM
manders have been ordered to cease
attacks upon passenger vessels. De-
NAL is made that lifeboats and pas
sengers have ever purposely been de-
stroyed or that any authorized
atrocities hove been committed by
German troops. 1t is declared that
Germany now has a parliamentary
form of Government, responsible to
the people.
