Hoover said, -aa examination was
made oftthe costs and profits Of retn-
ing and 1t was finally determined tl,at
the spread between the cost Of raw
and the sale of refined cane sugar
should be limited to $f.3O per hundred
pounds. The prc-war dlfferential had
averaged about S5 cents and Increased
costs were found to have been .impos-
ed by the war In increased cost of re-
lining, losses, cost Of bags, labor, lnsur-
ance, interest and other things, rather
more. than cover the difference After
prolonged negotiations the gefiners
were placed under agreement estab-
fishing these limits on October 1, and
anything over this amount to be agreed
extortionate under the law.
"In the course Of these investiga-
tons 1t was found BY canvass of the
Cuban producers that their sugar had.
during the first nine months Of the
past year. sold for an average Of about
S424 per hundred T. o. b. Cuba. to
which duty and freight added to the
refners' cost amount to about $500
per hundred. The average sale price
of granuland by various refineries, ac-
rording to our investigation. was about
$3.50 per hundred, or differential Of
S1.S4
"In reducing the differential to sL30
there was q saving to the public Of 81
cents per hundred. Had such diff
ferential t,een In use from the LIST Of
January, 1917. the public would have
Eaved 10 the first nine months Of the
year about $24,s00,000."
Next Year.
With q view to more efficient organ
ization OF the trade In Imported sugars
next year two committees have been
formed by the food administration:
l. A committee comprising repre-
sentatives Of all Of the elements Of
American cane refining groups. The
principal duty Of this committee Ia to
divide the sugar imports pro rata to
their yarious capacities and see that
absolute justice is done to every re-
finer.
2. A committee comprising three rep
resentatives Of the English, French
and Italian governments two repre-
sentatives of the American refiners,
with member Of the food administers
ton. Only two Of the committee have
arrived from Europe, but they. repre-
sent the allied governments The .du-
ties Of this committee are to determine
the most economical sources from
transport point Of view OF oil the al
lies to arrange transport at uniform
rates, to distribute the foreign sugar
between the United States and allies,
subject to the approval Of the Ameta-
can, English. French and Italian gov
ernments.
This committee. while holding strong
views as to the price to be paid for
Cuban sugar. has not had the final
voice. This voice has rested In the
governments concerned, together with
the Cuban government, and wish to

There 10 now an elimination Of
speculation, extortionate profits. and
in the refining alone the American.
people will save over s25,000000 Of
the refining charges last year, A part
Of these savings goes to the Cuban,
Hawaiian, Porto Rican and Lousianian
producer and part to the consumer.
|. Appeals to prejudice against the
food administration have been made
because the Cuban price 10 81 cents
above that Of 191g. It Is said IN effect
that the Cubans are at our mercy
that we could get sugar cent lower.
We made exhaustive study Of the cost
Of producing sugar In Cuba last year
through our own agents In Cuba, and
we find It averages $3.50, while many
producers are at Q higher level We
found that an average profit Of at
least cent per pound was necessary
In order to maintain and stimulate
production or that minimum price OF
$4T was necessary, and even this
would stifie some producers
"The price ultimately agreed was %
cents above these figures. or about one
fifth Of a cent per pound to the Ameri-
can consumer. and more than this
amount has been saved by our reduc-
tion In renners' profits If we wish to
stlhe production IN Cuba we could
take that course just at the time Of all
times in our history when we want
production for ourselves and the al.
lies. Further than that, the state de-
partment win assure yon that such q
course would produce disturbances in
Cuba and destroy even our present
supplies, but beyond all these material
reasons Is one Of human justice. This
great country has no right by the.
might Of Its position to strangle Cuba.
Therefore there 10 no imposition
upon the American public. Charges
have been made before this commit
tee that Mr. Rolph endeavored to benz
eft the California refinery Of which he
was manager By this "a cent Increase
In Cuban price. Mr.. Rolph did not fix
the price. It does raise the price TO-
the Hawaiian farmer about that
amount. II does not raise the profit Of
the California refinery. because their
charge for refining Is like all other re-
finers. limited to $50 per hundred
pounds. plus the freight dIfferential on
the established custom Of the trade.

MISSOURI BOYS N FRANCE
American Forces Transported Were
Soreened by a Line of Steel.

There are many Missouri boys ir
France today. taking their place In
the great struggle for liberty and free
dom. Just how many Of them are
there the government alone knows
and, for military reasons, the informa
ton Is not being given out
But the big fact Is that they are
there. And 1t is the navy that tool
them there. Thousands of men have
been transported across the Atlantic
and 80 well has the navy guarded the
transports that carried them that NOT
one man has been killed by enemy
guns. Ships have been sunk, of course,
and more will be sunk, but the army
that Pershing will lead to victory
La intact.
The navy has always been the pride
Of America. 1t has always been the
most efficient navy In the world. This
Is true because Of the particularly high
type of men who go to make up its
ranks.
Never in the history OF the country
have the armed forces of the country
been called upon to face SO gigantic a
problem as the one that now faces
them. Never, since that summer day
In Philadelphia when little gather
ing Of colonists declared In solemn
form that liberty was born into the
world and that all men were free, has
this country faced such perilous sit.
uation. YOUR country is In danger.
YOUR country Is facing the greatest
crisis in the history Of the human
race. On the blood-consecrated field
of Gettysburg Abraham Lincoln said.
Government OF the people, for the
people, by tine people shall not perish
from the earth"
For century and quarter Amer
lea has been the promised land for
the down-trod6en and the oppressed.
Today the yourg men Of America are
fighting for the principles that were
laid down In the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence, the greatest document ever
penned by the hand Of man. They are
carrying the message Of liberty onto
the shelltorn fields of Belgium and
Of France, and to every corner of the
seven seas.
Stretching across the Atlantic Is q
line Of steel. Monster battleships.
swift cruisers and ;wasplike torpedo
boats cover the seas and protect
American ships and American lives
from the machination Of undersea pi-
rates. This line of steel is the wall
that protects America from invasion;
that protects the women and children
of America-your women and children
from the fate Of the innocents OF
Belgium. Without those keen-eyed
men who stand constantly on watch
beside gun and torpedo tube America
would be helpless.
YOU know that, OF course. But did
1t ever occur to you that these men in
