THE SUGAR MIDDLE.

lively discussion has arisen re-
garding responsibility for the mud
ding of the sugar situation. Attor-
ney General Palmer puts the blame
for the sugar shortage upon congress.
claiming that he had been denied
'1both the power and the facilities for
obtaining tangible results Senator
McNary' of Oregon contends that that
charge is far from the truth. The
facts are. he asserts. that the presi-
dent. thru the equalization board. was
possessed of ample authority to ac-
quire the Cuban sugar crop. He also
commanded the funds with which to
make the purchase, consisting of an
original appropriation from the presi-
dents emergency fund of $5.0OO.O00,
plus about s3O.00O.O 900 profit made on
the purchase and sale of last years
crop.
The question of whether the people
were to have the benefit of the huge
reservoir of sugar in Cuba. it is assert
ed, was put up to Mr.. Wilson squarely
and without reservation. He chose to
take no action. The result has been
the acquisition OF the Cuban crop by
other nations and a sugar famine in
this country. Senator McNary has
become convinced that there was no
need whatever for the sugar famine
to which the country has been sub
jected- SO long ago as August IA the
presi"---+ of the sugar equalization
board addressed a letter to Mr.. Will
son in which he urged the immediate
purchase of the Cuban crop Accom-
panying that letter was a written. com
munication from representatives of
the Cuban planters rendering to this
country 1.-The entire wealth OF their
production under such terms as may
be. agreed upon by the contracting
parties at a price moderate, but com
pensating to the producer and well
within the economic reach of the con-
sumer." Seven Of the eight members
of the board recommended the ac-
ceptance of the offer.
The 1ettc- >ached the president and
its receipt was acknowledged. Nc
move having been made by the execu-
tive. the equalization board sent him
another letter under date of Septem-
Der 90 referring to their former com
munication. and calling attention tc
the imperative necessity of early ac-
| ton IL the United States was to ac-
quire the Cuban crop befpre its acqui-
sition by foreign I-,,~~~s That letter
also was acknowledged, this time b,
the presidents secretary. but still
nothing was done nor has anythins
been done by Mr. wilson to. give tht
American people the benefit of the
huge supply of sugar lying at our yer.
doors.
Senator McNary believes that hat
the president seen fit to adopt the
recommendations OF the seven mem
bers of the equalization board. instead
OF following the advice of the one dis
senting member. the people would no
only have received a sufficient suppl!
OF sugar. but would have been saves
hundreds of millions of dollars on tn.
price.

This view. There is no reply from him
ia the record, but only a letter from
one of his secretaries saying that the
matter would be brought to his atten-
ton "at the first favorable oppor-
tunity."
The evident fact is that the sugar
equalization board, altho seven of its
eight members saw that there would
crop was bought, would not take the
responsibility of making this purchase
unless it was authorized to do so
either by the president or by congress.
And neither the president nor con-
gress did anything. Hence Doctor
Taussig, and the law of supply and
demand, prevailed and so did the
sugar famine
1t should be added that the board
did, not lack the money to buy the
crop. 1t was not waiting for an ap-
preparation. 1t was waiting for some
body to give it q push.
According 10 Senator McNary, the
equalization board has still its original
tional thirty million dollars in profits.
This profit was made by reason of the
fact that it held out 3S cents per hun
dred pounds on the sugar it handled
to cover administrative expenses. So
our little venture in communal sugar
dealing was mot altogether unprof-
liable.
1t is said that 10000 tons of the
Cuban crop is still available. If the
sugar equalization board buys this be-
fore it is all gone. the sugar famine
will be broken. If it does not, sugar is
apt to be still more scarce before ii
