j, s, SENATE VOTES TO
CONTROL 1920 SUGAR
Passes McNary Bill to Extend
Federal Board a Year
Longer. l.

Washington.-The senate passed the
McNary bill extending the life of the
Sugar Equalization Board for another
year from January 1 and providing for
the purchase by the government of
the Cuban crop for 1920 to relieve the
sugar famine. The bill was sent to the
house, where early passage is expected.
Senator McNary called up the bill
shortly after the senate met. His
motion that the senate proceed to its
consideration was adopted without op-
position.
Senator McKellar, Democrat, Of
Tennessee, at once presented an
amendment abolishing the zone sys-
tenn of sugar distribution established
by the Sugar Equalization Board and
providing that it should not again be
put into effect during the life of the
board. This amendment had previous
ly been submitted to Senator A1cNary,
author of the bill, who had accepted
it, and to Senators Ransdell and Gay
of Louisiana, who were opposing the
McNary measure.
AS passed by the senate, the McNary
bill authorizes the President to con-
tinue the Sugar Equalization Board
during the year ending December 81,
1920, and to exercise his control over
the board Gin such manner as to au-
thorize and require them to adopt and
carry ont until December 81, 1920,
plans and methods for securing an ade-
quate supply at a reasonable price and
an adequate distribution of sugar at a
fair and reasonable price" The board
may buy and sell both foreign and
domestic grown sugar, but the control
of the domestic sugar crop, it is speci-
fed in the bill, shall end September 80,
1920, when the crops in this country
come in. Producers, refiners and dis
tributors shall not be licensed, as I'M
der the provisions of the Lever food
control act.
