This plan was favorably received by
the sugar refining industry. which had
been on a war basis almost from the
beginning of the European War.
The war had brought the Allies into
the Cuban market. resulting in severe
domestic and international competition
with no increased supplies. Naturally
prices Of refined sugar. both to the
American public and to the Allies. rose
under this forced draft.
Domestic sugar refiners. since the
outbreak Of the European War not only
have Safeguarded the United States
supply but have maintained the lowest
sugar prices in the world.
This brilliant record is due largely to
the fact that sugar refining is in the
hands OF large business units. with an
excess Of refining capacity sufficient to
supply all domestic needs, and so far all
demands Of foreign countries.
In the spring Of 1917 there was
serious attempt at the Reorganization
of the sugar refining industry. following
long series Of attempts at destruction
Of sugar ships.
Accompanying these incidents were
widely circulated sensational reports
predicting a sugar famine and SuSar
shortage. causing widespread sppre-
henSion.
At that time. even with the assurance
of ample supplies on hAnd. retail sugar
prices rose in some sections TO 20 and 25
cents pound.
The efforts Of the Franklin Sugar
Refining Company to allay public
alarm. TO check boarding. TO accept a
price less than that which IL could easily
have secured. and to distribute its
product fairly and evenly among the
trade. we're Of real public service.
While there were sreat supplies of
sugar in far away Java which ordinarily
would have gone to Europe, yet the
necessity for saving ships became so
great llidl LuIOpC tuihCu W Ouoo III
even larger supplies than previously.
1t takes cargo ship $50 days to make
around trip between England and Java,
while a round trip between England and
Cuba can be made in so days
Under these circumstances and seem
insly TO avoid paying proposed United
States war taxes on refined sugar the
European Allies purchased in Cuba the
sugar which ordinarily would have
come to the United States in the fall
months.
