that is, with as little waste of
money and men as the circum-
stances permit. The scale of the
preparation will depend upon the
strength of the country that takes up
wage Of battle with the United States.
The most probable next opponent is
Mexico. The league Of nations, as it
Is now understood here, makes of that
country an outlaw nation. Thus far
it seems impossible for its leaders to
maintain order within it's boundaries.
1t is disturbing the peace Of the
world. 1t might become the duty of
the league to take possession Of it for
the purpose of restoring safety and
order: but, as far as Americans have
been permitted to know the situation,
this would be against the principle Of
the Monroe doctrine. and would place
upon the United States the duty of
policing the disturbed country on the
south.
The most conservative estimate of
the size Of army required for such an
undertaking without undue loss Of
life, is at least 100000 officers and
ment. The estimates run from that
number to 100000. For such an ex-
petition special troops would be re-
quired-cavalry and light field artil-
lery units. That statement raises the
interesting question of the method
that the government would adopt to
raise such an army. At present there
are about 10000 Regular Army troops
that could be employed for that serv->

SAVING MISS LIBERTY'S

The silver dollar has become
precious again. AS recently as
1915. the real value, expressed in
the market price Of the silver i.
contains, was 40 cents. Recently
it has come pretty close to the
dollar mark. When silver sells
at $1.2929, the dollar is really at
par with the market. Our dimes,
quarters, and half dollars contain
still less silver proportionately to
face value. Silver will have to
go to 81, 1923 an ounce. before
their contents are worth on the

mission has issued bulletin, No.
9, relating to the average cost of
producing a ton Of refined sugar
during the season 1917 and 1913.
Louisiana cane sugar is quoted
at the highest, costing $147.O9 per
ton. Hawaii comes next with
$133.79; Cuban cane, at $127.15;
Porto Rico, at $120.19 while beet
sugar is at the bottom Of the list
with a cost of $l1S.7S. This rep
resents the cost of producing and
marketing ton. The by-prc-
ducts of both beet and cane must
also be added and the by-producis
from beet sugar are greater than
those Of cane, so the beet sugar

THE EXPORT. PRICES FOR
SUGAR.

There has been an embargo
placed upon the expectation OF
sugar by our own government
and it is a fact that we were sui
fering a sugar famine when Great
Britain had more sugar than
usual. and when Great Britain
had some $4,000 tons of sugar in
Cuba that our own government
was negotiating for as being a
surplus of the English sugar sup
ply, yet we find the continued ex-
cuse reported by all the sugar re-
finers that the sugars that they
have edo not belong to them, but
belong to Great Britain" and
that they are refining them on
toll"
This report has gone the rounds
Of the press until perhaps some
people believe that it is true. but
there are many who think that
while it is true that we are ex-
porting these sugars. it may be
untrue that it is equally advant-
ageous to the sugar refiners to
refine for Europe on toll, as COM
pared with the prices that the
sugars would bring in the United
States. the ultimate differentiel
being practically the same. The
facts are that there is no sugar

and of the country from which
it came, if imported, these records

at all the sugar that is claimed as
lying in the harbor belonging to
the British Commission, but other
sugars on which the duty has
been paid and on the expectation
Of which the sugar refiners can
get the return of the duty paid
less one per cent.
The next proposition is that it
is very serious contract to make,
to have sugars refined on the s
wing, as it were, in the United
States, and while it is said that
The Equalization Board has made

also, secures a return as exported
sugars, and is part Of the general
sugar export proposition. This
has made it more profitable in the
past for the sugar refners to ex-
port their blackstrap molasses
than to sell it in this country
without any rebate in the shape
of returned duties on the sugar
content thereof.
1t is also to be noted that the
Board Of Equalization was willing
to publish its contract for the
purchase of the last two Cuban
crops and to publish some or 50
much Of the business that it has
done, and vet although this i'm
portant part, this expectation Of
sugar by the many thousands ell
to Europe when a sugar famine
prevails in our own country, is al
legged to be under a contract, and
while reference is made to that
contract. its text has never been
published, so far as we know, but
remains concealed document
and. in our opinion, one that in It's
final results makes it more ad-
vantageous to refine sugars here
on toll, and to export them to
Europe, than to accept the Amer
lean differential given to the re-
finers for refining for this coua-
try. These refiners come out
now endeavoring to show that
these exports have amounted to
but little, and that for the first
nine months Of this year there
were exported only $4,000 tons.
This certainly means the sugacs
to various other coun-
tries and not the sugars exported
on toll. which, by implication,
would reach some $4,000 long
tons, or one-half of the ], 100000
tons Of the Cuban crop taken over
