Although the country, already short
of sugar, is confronted with an actual
famine in that necessity, the sena-
tors from Louisiana, Ransdell and
Gay, last week undertook a fiIibuster
to defeat the McNary bill which is de-
signed to relieve the situation and
check exorbitant prices The measure
would enable the sugar equalization
board to buy the Cuban crop, esti-
mated at 100000 tons, and to place
it on the market at flair and rea-
sonable price" This naturally does
not suit the sugar planters of Louis
lana and their senators were. as al
ways, quick to come to their rescue.
Last summer seven of the eight mem
berS of the equalization board urged
the president to buy the Cuban crop,
but the other member, Professor Taus-
sig, dissented and persuaded the cd
ministration to let the law of supply
and demand take its course. TauSSig

bolsheviki and the ESthonianS con-
tinued. with indications that they
would result in an armistice though it
was considered improbable that a
peace treaty would be signed. The
terms which the bolsheviki seek to i'm
I pose are rather severe and the Esthon-
ians baked especially at the demand
for guarantees, feeling it incompati-
BILE with their dignity. During these
negotiations the armies of the soviet
government and of Esthonia are fight
ing fiercely on the Narva front, where
the bolsheviki were repulsed after
making ten assaults.

American delegates to the peace con-
| ference departed from Paris, and GER
tain French newspaper writer's took
occasion to express the belief that this

| turned" And they pointed to the con-
ference in London between Clemen-
ceau and Lloyd George as confrma-
ton 1t was believed the French pre-
mier went to tighten up the entente

concerned with the Turkish situation

peace conference with the Turks be
