THE NATION SAVED
MILLIONS ON SUGAR
Would Have Been rs or 80 Cents
a Pound, Says Hoover.
PRIcE.FlxlkG IS JUSTIFIED
Statement which Senate Committee
Turned Down Made Public
SAVED Public $780,
100000.

Washington. President Wilson
took a hand in the sugar quarrel be-
tween Senator Reed, chairman of the
Senate Investigating Committee, and
Herbert Hobver, Federal Food Adj
ministrator, and made public Hoover's
explanation of the sugar famine,
which the latter had submitted to the
Senate committee and which Senator
Reed stuck lin his hip pocket without
authorizing its publication. Hoover
had, in the meantime, given the Pres
ident copy of the statement.
The Hoover statement is a $500
word review of the sugar situation in
the United States and the world. He
lays stress| upon the point that If the
American people refuse to cut dow n
their. normal consumption and econo-
mize on sugar this country will be
forced to Withdraw a number Of trans
ports fforh the Atlantic Ocean and
send them to Java for sugar. This
step, he Gays, will diminish our abil-
ity to SEMI soldiers to France by 200,-
900 men next year. He adds that II
the American people will diminish
their sugar consumption next year by
10 or Is per cent, or if the Cuban
crop is larger than now anticipated,
this DISASTER of transport necessity
can be akerted.
The statement attributes the short
age hero to the heavy movement of
sugar from the Western Hemisphere
to EUROPE, and asserts that, without
the fxin& of prices by agreement, SUI
gar would have been selling for % or
80 cents pound, and more than $780,
100000 probably could have been prof.
teered from the American people by
this tin9e.
At THE outset the statement presents
the world sugar situation as it existed
prior t9 the European war. The Allies
then produced much OF their own sup
plies and purchased the remainder
from Germany. Before the war they
took only 100000 tons annually from
the Western Hemisphere. This year
they Have taken 100000 tons.
That" says the Food Administra-
tor. rs, the cause of the sugar short
age, and nothing else"
The statement says the Food Ad-
ministration has handled the situation
with IA view to sustaining the morale
of france and England, where the
sugar. ration has been extremely low
for months, the same time preventing
jump in price to 20 or % cents here.
Since the Food Administration was
created in August, the United States
has Imported to the Allies 110,356 tons
of fined sugar. and in the same
peri Cuba shipped to Europe 246,-
1873 bns of raw product. This, it is
decl kred. is just the amount of the
shortage in the United States.

VIII Add Total OF s,2s| Joss Tons
Refusal OF capps q Approve
Cocktails Contracts Caused
TWO Months DELAY.

Washington. IF ear Admiral Bowles,
superintendent Of construction for the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, told
the Senate Commerce Committee in,
vestigating the shipbuilding program
that there are 1889 ships OF all types
under construction or already built
by the Fleet Corporation, and that
these ships have total tonnage of
8,252,033 lightweight tons.
Admiral Bowles, in giving for the
first time definite facts and figures
relative to ship construction for war
purposes, brushed aside all contro-
versies over management and all petty
details in respect to nonessentials. In
Is minutes he gave The committee
more solid facts about the ship pro-
gram than had developed in two days
hearings.
He told the Senatorial inQuisitors
that of the 1889 ships under way or
built, 379, with an aggregate tonnage
of 1,344,900, are of wood. Here are
some of the other facts and figures
which he produced:
A total of $50 steel ships are under
construction, with an aggregate ton
mage of 100000 dead weight.
In all 393 ships have been requisi-
toned by the Shipping Board while
under construction inl American ship
yards, with total tonnage of 277,933.
A total of So composite ships-that
is, ships built of both wood and steel
having an aggregate tonnage of
100000, are under construction.
When Admiral Bbw,es had laid
these sharp facts before the Senate
Committee. he produced chart which
showed that taken in all, the Amer
lean ship program as launched was
more than 20 per cent. completed.
This was not shown in terms Of in
dividuaI ships but in the aggregate
volume of construction.
Without brag or boast, without re-
greet or apology, Admiral Bowles laid
the whole situation as it exists today
before the Senate Rinquisitors. and
when the hearing II the afternoon
concluded, the members of the COM
mittee knew where the country
stands, although some of the reasons
why 1t does not stand better with re-
spect to merchant fleet remain OBJ
scure.
The facts which the Admiral laid
before the committee and before the
country, whether discoumging or not,
were decidedly enlightening.
In executive session Admiral Bowles
said he was prepared to shew to the
committee exactly how many ships
would be delivered in January, how
many in February and so on through
the year. This was Information he
said which he did not feel that he
should make public to the world.
Testimony OF Shipping Board OFF,
cials disclosed that the start on con-
struction Of fabricated steel ships was
delayed two months by the refusal
of Rear-Admiral Capps, formerly gem
eral manager OF the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, to close contracts nego-
tiated by his predecessor, Major-Gen-
eral Goethals, until many alterations
in them were made.

is now receiving $4,000 year from
his original investment Of about So
600, and as the stock Is now worth
around $3.50 Il share, the present mar
ket value Of his stock Is 1000, CIV
ing him a profit Of $215.OOO in addi-
ton to cash dividends which he re-
ceived during nine years, amounting
to many more thousands Of dollars.
Only One Of Hundreds.
This is the story Of just one small
stakeholder In one mail-Order concern.
A profit of more than $215,OOO made
BY one small stakeholder in nine years
on an investment of less than 23,ooO!
history. There are hundreds Of other
stockholders in this and other mail
order corporations, some Of whom
have made millions while this man
made thousands. Add the profits OF
all these stockholders together and the
result is Il sum that staggers the mag
inatiOn.
Small wonder that the men who own
the stock of the bic mail-order houses
can live in palaces, ride in the highest
priced automobiles, own palatial pri-
vnte yachts and buy 100000 paint
ings. But who has furnished the
money to pay for the palaces and the
automobiles and the yachts and the
100000 paintings? The people in the
country and the small towns who have
kept an endless stream Of money flow
ing into the Golfers of the mail-order
houses have made all this possible.
Their millions of dollars have gone to
the big cities to build up these great
concerns Their millions of dollars
have provided the automobiles and
yachts and other luxuries for the
stockholders in these corporations.
Present From MaiI-order Buyers.
These men who have piled up such
big fortunes In the mail-Order bust
ness have not even had to pay for
much Of the stock from which they are
now drawing princely dividends. The
people in the country and the small
towns, generous souls, have bought 1t
for them. This Is shown in the case
OF the stakeholder just mentioned. who
originally invested. The generous
mail-order buyers have made him
present Of $215.OOO worth Of stock and
he has not had to turn his hand over
to yet It. He has never even had to
80 much as write a letter to get It
The generous mail-Order buyers have
handed It to him on a golden platter.
There's money In the mail-order
business without q doubt, but its on
the side of the man who does the sell
ing and not the one who does the
buying. II you must do business with
the mail-order house, buy some OF its
stock and let the fellow In the next
town buy you automobiles and private
yachts while he struggles with the
hard times that come from draining
his town Of the cash that goes to keep
you in luxury.

There is one way to make money by
dealing with the mailorder houses but
1t isn't by buying goods from them.
The man who thinks he is making
money by buying his goods from mail

amazing profits made by some Of these

money is being made by the man on

around $40 a share, the 900 shares
costing him little less than $4,000.
In 1911 the company declared a stock
