sPREcKLEs is WRONG

Spreckles the largest of the sugar
refinery representatives, told the
terday that the government is respon
| sible for the existing sugar situation.
He called it government interfer
ence." Spreckles is wrong.
But that is a wide sweep to take
at this distance, especially since
Spreckles is in position to know much
more about it.
There is no shortage. he said al
though the supply is "dislOcated."
One million tons of the 1919 crop will
be available before January /. he ad-
ded. to relieve the present situation
MFR Spreckles said he would not OBJ
ject to government control if it would
reduce the price to the consumer. In
stead. he insisted it has brought
about an increase in price.
"If the matter was left to the law
of supply and demand ii would soon
get down to proper basis" be ad-
ded.
Mr. Spreckles had frequent clashes
with William A Glasgow, attorney
for the United States Sugar Equaliza
ton Board He charged that there
has been boarding over the country
and declared that western beet SUI
gar growers were Withholding the
crop from the market. He also as
serted that several thousand tons Of
raw sugar from the Philippines were
being held in New York by "Specula
tors"
Spreckles reveals that raw sugar
producers are holding their products
for the purpose of getting higher
price than the government is going
to allow. The holder is working for
dear life to get out from under this
control solely for the purpose of get
ting more.
The whole fight is against govern
ment regulation. The whole purpose
of the government is to stop the rob
berry of the public in gamblers
deal That is why the government is
forced to take hold of it.
1t is to be regretted that govern
ment interference" is necessary. but
when that alone will stop the profit
teer, why delay government inter
ference?
