The single notion Of the PARA con-

peace draft was to put an end to the
period of unsettlement, to- give Gep-
many something approximating the

her western frontiers, to disarm Ger
many; thus to permit the completion
ofysBritish and French Generalization

April unless Germany began to disarm
by that time. The best evidence of

CONTROL OF SUGAR
iGcvernment Will Have Charge An
other, Year-May Cost 25 u
Il as Cents Pound

The Senate yesterday passed the
iMcNary bill which provides for
government control Of sugar for
another year.
1t was sent to the House where
lit may. be discovered that action
was taken too late. Another re-
suit may be the resignation OF the
Sugar Equalization Board, as the
McNary bill recognized none OF the
recommendations made by that
board.
The whole matter now is left to
the buyer and seller of sugar, in the
?pinicn of those who have most
.lcscly followed the devious paths
which discussion has t.i,cn.
It seems that in framing the be-
lated legislation the Senate failed to
lake into consideration the, rec
lamentations made by the sugar
board through its president, George
zabriskie. The latter made certain
recommendations in letter to At
orncy General Palmer October -.
~hese apparently were ignored. IA
,riskia called attention to the M
possibility Of buying the Cuban
;ugar crop but proposed method
f curtailmcnt of candy and sweet
rink manufacturers.
1t is asserted that the Cuban SUI
sar crop is practically out OF the
market and in the hands Of specula-
;ors. The available portion is con
