was any real opposition to the bonds

in a proposition like this there should

in the league of nations Eight. it is
declared, prevented him from giving
attention to the approaching sugar
shortage and from taking a step that
would have protected against it =
PRESIDENTS ACTION
NEEDED BY BOARD
The United States Sugar Corpora
ton is q stock company. all the
stock of which is held by the Presi-
dent who must vote authority to
the Sugar Equalization Board for
all purchases.
Early in August an agreement had
been reached by Cuban producers.
and the 1920 crop offered the Equal
ization Board at a price approx
mately 1 cent per pound over that
paid last year-5.0SS cents.
The Equalization Board requested
authority from the President to en-
ter into the contract, but failed TO
receive 1t.
In the meantime. European buy
ers appeared in Cuba and began
bidding up prices AS a result the
Cuban offer was withdrawn on Sep
tember 25 and to date about one
third of Cuba's next crop has been
contracted for elsewhere.
There is hope that il Congress
acts quickly extending the life OF
the sugar board and specifically re-
questing the President to vote It
authority to make the purchase
that the major part of the remain
ing two-thirds may yet be obtained
for this country.
Even If it is and we get all that
Is now sold elsewhere we can hope
for no greater sugar supplies in
1920 than in 1919 and with the per
capita demand for sugar in the
United States increased from so to
80 pounds per year. as II has since
the advent of prohibition, the sugar
problem is one that will remain
with us for at least another twelve
months.
And unless the government has
control OF the supply and can re-
strain prices there is no telling to
what level prices will go.

SUGAR FAMINE IMPENDING
UNLESS GOVERNMENT ACTS

Sugar at 20 or % cents a pound
will be the American grocery bill
next year. unless Congress acts
promptly in extending the life Of
the Sugar Equalization Board. in the
opinion Of Senator McNary. OF Ore
gon.
In fact" Senator McNary said.
sugar may go to almost any price
in the United States. for it is en-
tirely possible that unless We act
and act quickly the entire Cuban
sugar crop will be contracted for by
European countries.
That would leave US with only
our own sugar production to depend
on. Our production. even including
Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines. will be at the outside 1000. 900
tons. AS we are accustomed to con-
sumo annually something like 1000, 900
tons. you can see the situation we
would be in. Price wouldn't mat
ter. We simply couldn't get the
sugar at any price.
JAPANESE CONTROL
PHILIPPINE OUTPUT
The fact is, however, that even
the output of Hawaii and the Philip
pines will not be available. for japan
has secured contracts covering the
greater part of the Hawaiian and
Philippine crops of 1920"
To remove possible opposition in
the Senate and expedite Congress
sional action on his bill extending
the life of the sugar equalization
board through 1920 Senator McNary
