about lbs. For each OF the 10 GOO 0n0

/ the eastern retneries for his supply of
sugar This is on the basis Of about
l6l his per year, which is consider
ably above the normal per capita con-
sumptlon In the United States of az
lbs
As further evidence Of our ahnor-
mallN large sugar consumption il is
interesting to note that the 10000, 90
people OF the United States consumed
as much sugar in tho year from Sept.

biued CONSUMPTION of the 200 600. 600
people OF the United Kingdom. France,

We have consumed onc-quarter Of the
worlds production and one-half of
the worlds total exporta BILE surplus,
but our sugar~tooth is apparently far
from satisfied.
In spite "a our large demand and
the world shortage, the price of su-
gar has heen kept in the United States
far below the world ievol Govern

Carter, promoter.
When l finished the column article
| was sick, really sick. 1t gave me
more of an insight into crooked
deals" as the writer called them,
than ever l had had before. He, the
writer, had called Carter Slick a
"schemer" and other names for from
complimentary. l shuddered as I
thought that was the way people
thought of Neil. Then l grew indig-
nant that all promoters should be
classed as crooked" because of men
like this one. There were dishonest
men in every profession, every trade.
That did not necessarily mean that
ALL were dishonest. The same prin-
ciple must apply to men who promot-
ed big business.
