The sugar supplies Throughout the
country, In homes, stores, factories and
bakeries, are at low ebb; the produe-
Louisiana cane crops have been disap-
pointing; the yield In Porto Rico has
likewise been smaller than anticlpat-
ed, and the Inability Of the United
States and the Allies to secure sugar
from Java and other distant sources
on account Of the imperative call for
ships for the movement Of troops and
their supplies has materially reduced
the supply from such quarters. Added
to this already difficult situation, the
quantity needed by the Army and
Navy greatly exceeds earlier esti-
mates; we must send large amount
to France and Italy to take the place
Of the great volume lost through the
German and Austrian lnVasions, dur
Ing which much beet land was over
run and many factories destroyed; we
have to supply certain quantities to
neutral nations under agreements; and
finally over fifty million pounds were
lost recently through submarine sink
inps off our Atlantic coast.

AND TEAMWORK COUNTS

~ HE enactment of the man.
VI power bill is one more
instance of the value of
team work between the White
House and congress- AS should
be congress adopts the measure
in the form the administration
desires. The same story pre-
vailed with reference to the
original draft law, and most
other great war legislative
measures. Having a congress
of his own political faith Presi-
dent Wilson has been able to
enforce his leadership. The
administration forces are in
control of the democratic eau
Gus, they have a firm hold on
most of the important commit
tees. AS a result the nation
had the benefit of cohesion and
harmony. This despite minor
revolts and criticisms.
One reason why the United
States has been able to make
such speedy and tremendous
progress in war waging lies IN
the fact that the President and
congress being of the same po-
litical faith have worked with
the maximum of harmony. An
opposition house or senate
would have been regrettable
and might have worked disas-
ter. this regardless of how 10y
al and earnest individual mem
bers might have been. Con-
gress is conducted not by the
individual members but by its
floor leaders and committees /

COURTESY ON THE RAIL
~ IRECTOR GENERAL Nc
A ADOO'S order requiring

~ IRECTOR GENERAL Nc
~ ADOO'S order requiring
courtesy in service to the
public by all railroad en-
ployees is welcome whether it
was necessary or not. 1t will
probably tend to check any
development towards discour-
tesy which might have arisen
among a few employees who
feel that because the railroads
are under government control
their jobs are secure, irrespec-
tive of the kind of service they
render.
AS a matter of fact, casual
observation of employees atti-
tude to the riding public since
the roads were taken over by
the government has not indi-
Gated any material change
from what it was under private
management. AS a whole, the
railroad employees seem to
have gone ahead tending to
their business in a very effici-
ent manner. Where ground
for complaint has been found it
was probably due as much to
the individual independence
of the employees, resulting
from the knowledge that he
could easily get equally re-
munerative employment in
other lines of industry, as it
was to belief in the security of
his job under government con-
troll.
A good many people always
feel that they have the right to
abuse public service employees,
walters in restaurants, porters,
and others in similar occupati-
0ns as though they were slaves.
Others just now, as Mr.. Nc
Adoo points out, for certain
partisan reasons would like to
zee government control of the
'ailroads failure. 1t is prob
ably from both of these lasses

MINE TO BE PUMPED

 When questioned regarding the practicability of a plant in Juneau to turn gypsum into the finished product, MT. Mosier said that owing to the loss in transportation of the finished product, he did not believe the plant practical at present He did not believe that manufacture for export would pay under present conditions.
 In time, however, if a sufficient market offered in Alaska, there might be a chance for local plant on the ground This, of course, would mean an additional expend- iture and transportation facilities as well as market conditions.
