lasting bond that is to unite forever
the peoples Of the Americas in one

added:
eve need each other so let's be
friends, but in the true meaning Of the
word forbearing and forgiving, under
standing and trusting one another now
and for all time When this war shall
be over the nations Of the Americas

natural field Of world exploitation for
the supply of raw products But when
that time comes the United States will
not be alone in the race for CONNER
cial supremacy, and so it behooves us
to be friends to-day that we may be
comrades tomorrow"
DR.. Carlos Z. Restrepo, former
president of Colombia, highly praised
the Pan-Ameriman Union, in which he
saw foundation upon which an
American league of nations might be
erected. He spoke with warm feeling
of what he termed the Wilson Doc

recently in his address to the Mexican
editors, and was loudly applauded
when, in conclusion, he exclaimed:
eve will follow President Wilson,
who attempts to achieve justice for the

Higher Sugar Price
Is Asked FromU.S.
BY Cuban Mission
Increased Cost of Labor
and Transportation Is
Given as Reason

An appeal by the Cuban mission to
the United States for an increased
price for sugar was made public yes
terday by George M. Rolph, chairman
of the International Sugar Committee.
The mission, appointed by President
Menocal, includes Carlos Manuel dc
Caspedes, Cuban Minister to the United
States. Robert NJ. Hawley and Manuel
Rionda, representing the Cuban pro-
ducers.
The international committee, accord
ing to Mr. Rolph, recognizes the need
of meeting the increased cost OF pro-
Guctlon III Cuba. shown by the mis-
sion's brief to be one-half a cent a
pound. he prospective Increased cost
IN Cuba would raise the sugar price
N the United States one cent pound
for the 1919 crop, based upon previous
CUBAN contract now in effect. 1t was
decided to lay the matter before both
governments at meeting Of repre-
scntatlves of each in Washington next
week.
"The problems of organization and
the assembly of labor, in ordinary times
a great task, seem now wellnight in
surmountable," says the statement of
'HS i'iSoioil' w Nat we snail do tc
meet our obligations to the United
states and to those countries with
whom we are associated in the greatest
OF enterprises, must rest on thorough
appreciation and coordination of every
interest concerned.
Among other obstacles that beset us
IN our active operation, we suffer the
Disadvantage Of having to import, nat
urally from the United States, all ma
terlal, all supplies that enter into the
growth Of cane and the manufacture of
sugar In all these essential importa-
tons there is not an article, with
scarcely an exception, whose primary
cost is not three or four times the nor
NAL price. Coal is sold for $50 a ton,
as against $3.50 formerly. Bags are as
hlgh as 90 cents, against Is cents, and
the ocean freight on practically every
article is Quadrupled. AS in most in
dustNes, the largest item entering into
It's cost is labor. For every stalk of
cane now planted, cultivated and har-
vested the total expenditure is three
times the price paid under normal con
Gitions."
With respect to costs, comparative
hgures are given in the report showing
cost OF production in 1917 of 3.344O
cents pound. increased to 3SSOO cents
IN 1918. In the western provinces, the
Dflei states. an increase of 43S $40 baps
Is registered in the face of the new
difficulties.
The prices which the mission believes
VIII enable the operators to meet the
increased production cost are go cents
l. o. b. northern ports Of Cuba and 5.5E
cents /. o. b. southern ports.

Red Cross Keeping
Up Italian Morale
Has 4 Ambulance Sections and
/ Canteens With Troops
Under Shell Fire

ASHINGTON. July 3O.-The Amer
lcan Red Cross has on the Italian front
lour ambulance sections and seven of
us rolilng canteens, which, even under
Sheil hre, help to get warm food to the
Italian troops.
For six months before the great Ital
ian victory on the Piave American Red
cross workers in every commune and
practically every village in Italy had
been carrying out special relief meas
ures designed to help maintain Italian
morale.
Perhaps the most valuable work ac-
compllshed has been the relief afforded
the destitute families of Italian sol
diers. In single month 31S,2O0 needy
families of soldiers in 1000 villages
were visited and aided and their i'm
proved condition made known promptly
to father or brother at the front.
Forty-one Red Cross kitchens supply
l2o.l63 rations weekly, and more are
being constructed.

'AP Smiths Friends
Now Expect Hearst
Will Indorse Him
Look for Publisher to Say
He Never Intended to
Run for Governor

Friends Of All Smith at the City Hall
yesterday said that not only had Hearst
called off the "accelerators" who have
been circulating his nominating peti-
tions around the state, but that in a
few days Hearst would announce in all
his newspapers that he never had in
tended to be a candidate for Gov
ernor, and that the efforts of Lawrence
j. O'Reilly and others at the Saratoga
convention were merely midsummer
camoufage to keep Hearst's name up
in front, without serious intention Of
presenting the publishe~ to the Demo-
cratic State Convention.
The Smith men are eager to get the
Hearst support, and the City Hall is
merry with sunshiny representations
of how Hearst is good Democrat
after all, and is going to help AL Smith
to become the next Governor.
Down in the Equitable Building, in
Judge Seabury's Office, is lot of data
collected by the judge, whose resolu
tion at Saratoga put the Hearst boom
out of commission, showing that Hearst
ever since last fall had been planning
to have the Democratic State Conven-
tlon nominate him for Governor. After
Judge Seabury put through his resolu-
tlon which repudiated "every trucker
with our country's enemies" he fol-
lowed it up with a statement to those
who congratulated him on the unani-
nous adoption of the resolution by
saying:
81 can furnish specifications"
The steering committee of seven that
organized the anti-Hearst conference
at Syracuse also possesses proof that
Hearst was a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination., and they also ascer-
tained that he was particularly eager
to obtain the nomination when the an
nouncement was made by the Lewis
men that Colonel Roosevelt would be
the Republican candidate
The suspension of the circulation of
the Hearst nominating petitions is re-.
garded in Tammany circles as the
utter collapse of the plan to name
Hearst for Governor, and the big and
little Tammany men are so confident
they have put the Hearst boom to
sleep that they are laying bets that
Hearst will be out with an indorse-
ment of Smith for Governor before
Saturday night.

Sufragists Seek to
Make Candidates
Declare Stand Now
Questionnaire Asks Opin-
ion ON Prohibition and
Also Votes for Women

New York suffragists met yesterday
to draw up qucstionnaire for candi-
dates for election this fall. The ques-
tionnaire will be sent to district suf-
fragc leaders throughout the state,
who will ntcrrogate all candidates,
with the intention of bringing suffrage
issues into the campaign. The ques-
tions arc:
"Will you support the government to
the utmost in its prosecution Of the
war?
"Are you in favor of woman suf-
fragc? Will you support the Federal
suffrage amendment in its passage
through Congress and its ratification
by the New York State Legislature
"Do you favor the ratification of the
prohibition amendment by the New
York State Legislature?
"Do you favor the improvement OF
the rural school system of the state
along lines which have proved most
successful in other states and which
have the approval of the State Depart
mcnt of Education?
"Do you favor equal pay for men
and women?
"Do you favor legislation against
protiteering?
"Do you favor the creation by law
of wage commission. which would fix
in different industries and localities
the least upon which girls and women
can live in dccency and health?
"Do you stand for the maintenance
of our present labor laws? Do you
approve their extension to new occu-
pations into which women must go?
Will you support further progressive
legislation in interests Of labor-bo
men and women?"
Mrs. William Belknap, chairman of
organization for the Woman Suffrage
Party, sent a call to the district lead
ers reminding them that it was the
duty of women to carry on in the "rear
trenches" the fight for democracy
which the army in France is waging
from the front trenches. The fight, she
said, was "to establish and maintain
progressive good government This
means that we must cnlighten, encour-
age and safeguard from exploitation
the women voters of the state, and
that we must elect to public office the
man or woman of high ideals who is
best qualified to fill that office"
