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 safeSuarded 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 a
serious attempt at the disorSanization
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 sugar
shortage, causing widespread appre-
hension.
At that time. even with the assurance
Of ample supplies on hand, retail sugar
prices rose in some sections to 20 and Is
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 it could easily
have secured, and to distribute its
product fairly and evenly among the
trade. were Of real public service.
While there were great supplies Of
sugar in far away Java which ordinarily
would have gone to Europe. yet the
necessity for saving ships became SO
great that Europe turned to Cuba for
even larger supplies than previously.
It takes a cargo ship $50 days to make
around trip between England and Java,
while 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.

These conditions, and especially the
necessity of saving ships, led the United
States and the Allied Nations to urge
upon the sugar. industry the adoption
by voluntary agreement of the original
Hoover plan, under the authority Of
the Food Control Act, passed August
10, 1917.
The cane-Susar refinefs and the
beet-suGar producers unanimously
agreed to the Hoover plan as a patri-
otic act in the interest Of the American
people and as an aid to the Allies.
This is the significance Of the ap-
pointmept by the United States Food
Administration Of the international
Sugar Committee to which the Allies
send Representatives for England,
France. Italy and Canada, and to which
the United States contributes three
members.
Upon the success Of the operation Of
the International Sugar Committee un-
der the directions Of the Allied Gov
ernments. acting for practically half the
civilized world. will depeud the read
iustment Of the worlds sugar markets.
This plan is full of promise to all the
nations party to the convention.
Its an assurance that sugar. although
comparatively cheap in view Of war
conditions. will not by reason either Of
competitive or speculative activity be
increased in wholesale price.
Sugar will become stabilized in price
with sufficient profit to producers. refin-
ers and merchants to maintain and
stimulate production and to cover the
cost Of refining and Of distribution.
The marketing Of Franklin Cane
Sugars in cartons and small cotton bags
by this Company has helped amazingly
during the pinch Of the fall months, in
giving wide distribution among the
retailers Of the reduced sugar supplies.
While barrel formerly was the unit
Of the grocer the same amount Of sugar

It will be necessary for Srocers and

SOME SLIGHT CHANGES
Republican Senate Leaders Declare
They viii Prevent Passage Of
Bill Unless Changed.

Washington, Dec 6--The War Re.
venue bill, scaled down more than
s., 1923, 9,026,000 from the estimates as
1t passed the House, was reported to
the Senate today by Chairman Sim
mons Of the Finance committee.
1t provides tax levy in 1919 OF

sS.1S2, $4,000 levied in the House
measure, which passed that body ear
ly in September. when the war was
at its height Since the signing OF
the armistice 1t was apparent that the
needs of the government would not
be as great as originally estimated
and Secretary McAdoo recommended
that the bill be revised downward. Ac
cordingly, the schedules were reduced
and many features that met with
criticism in the country were elimin

While the bill has been reduced
more than two billions, yet il exceeds

Congress in the form as reported II
will impose tax of more than $50 on
every man, woman and child in the
United States.
Republican Senate leaders have de
clared that they will prevent the pas
sage OF the bill because It provides
not only for taxation in 1919, but also
specifies that the revenues to be col
lected in 1920 shall reach about
$4,000 100000 through a reduction OF
the proposed higher war profits and
income taxes.
The reduction from the total of the
old House bill is obtained by combin
Ing the excess profits with the wal
profits, by reduction OF the posta
taxes, and by general reduction OF
most of the schedules The estate
tax Is reduced from sl1O,O0000O tC
