RELIEF in SIGHT FOR
TENSE SUGAR
SITUATION
Possible Action on Part of the
Government Causes
'Loosening" Up
PROFITEERS BEGIN
TO HUNT THE COVER
Investigations Show Much
Sugar Hid Away for
Many Reasons"

There has been no perceptible let
up in the tense sugar situation pre-
vailing for some time past and
growing tenser every day. Consum-
ers have been unable to secure
enough to make the rounds Of the
coffee cups, and those who have
been accustomed to the wholesale
use of the best granulated have had
to content themselves these many
days with the use of mighty dark
clarified and often just plain old
black stuff that is called sugar just
for camouflage. Where jobbers and
wholesalers dug up these sugar
scrapings no one but themselves
know-surely the general public is
not wise to the mysterious manner
in which all these so-called sugars
have been brought to light. The
consumer has made a wry face
every time he has had to use the
stuff, but, as in the case of "duck
or no dinner" they had to use this
black stuff or drink bitter coffee
and they just drank the awful dose,
even though it did spoil the taste
Of their much beloved Java and-let
it go at that.
The merchants are not to blame
for they have tried awful hard to
get fair supply of decent sugar
but without success. It is the same
old story everywhere else, and in
New Orleans, according to articles
in these newspapers, there is verti-
BILE famine and people are using any
kind of old substitute. There has
been considerable talk, especially
in New Orleans, that refners and al
lied interests were keeping under
cover vast supply of sugar which
they were boarding in order to ul-
timately wiring more profits out of
the consumer. These rumors began
to get so numerous that some in
vestigations were started with the
result that a vast quantity of the
saccharine stuff was dug up and
brought to light. Of course the peo-
pie who were boarding it had
ready excuse, as in the case of the
big trust, whose local manager stat
ed that the sugar in warehouses be-
longed to the British government.
This may be SO and then again it
may not. 1t is all in how one views
the situation and how much stock
he has in the veracity of the trust
and its officials, big and little.
The government has started an
investigation and finally it may re-
suit in some good, but in the mean
time while the investigators are dig
ging into dry facts and bewildering
figures the public is doing without
the sugar and naturally, being only
human, they are getting somewhat
tired Of the existing situation.
It is said that there are immense
quantities Of sugar lying in cargo
ships at the docks in New Orleans,
but as in many other things, there
is a plaasibIe excuse why the sugar
can not be had at once. This time
it is laid at the door of the strik-
ing longshoremen, that branch Of
organized labor autocracy that re-
fuses to work except at much high
ar wages. The lOngshoremen are en-
lOying splendid vacation" and
while they frolic and live on the ac-
emulation of high wages received
n the past, the people go sugarIess.
here is nothing surprising in this /

erican autOcracy always have a
ready excuse for their own short.
comings, and in this instance the
sugar barOns have simply passed
the buck" to the lOwIy fellows who
tug and tustle and sweat while un-
loading an ocean liners cargo. So
the sugar remains in shiplOad and
while it remains the autocratic sugar
baron smokes his fine cigar, the
labor baron seeks his usual haunts
and each cOmplacently looks on
while the general public writhes in
agony over a hope long deferred.

NATIONAL COINAGE SUGGESTED
FOR PALESTINE

A plan for a national coinage to
meet the needs Of life in the Jewish
Homeland has been suggested by NJ.
Eliash, Of London, who is now in Pal
estine He believes that scheme
parallel to that Of the Latin Union
would be best. A shekel equal to the
Latin Union franc shall have 100
Proototh and should be the 18th part
Of the Dnar Zahav, which should thus
be equal to the English pound. Twen-
ty-fve Proototh or a quarter Of
shekel will be the Dnar Kesef and
the Tooth part of the Dinar Zahav.
This would agree with national ira
ditions," says Mr. Eliash. 1T would
conformm with the long practice of
this country Of counting in francs, it
would create a small coinage, and fin
ally, being based on the system Of the
Dinar Zahav, it would conform with
the most modern monometallic Latin
gold system"

he who joys them for nonattendance
