FRIGHT OR FAMINE

There is reason TO believe that the threatened sugar famine
y more OF a fright than a real famine. The East, with more
Than ttty-hVe million consumers, has on hand and available for
consumption only $4,000 tons OF cane sugar, but the Cuban crop
will supply its deficiencies, The Cuban crop is said to be very
large this year. The West is more fortunate; with approximate
P fifty million consumers the West has potentially 100000 tons
OF beet sugar which will be available in a short time as against
the $4,000 tons of cane sugar held in the East. The South is
a sugar producer in a small way. Texas and Louisiana produce
cane sugar, and Southern farmers have given some attention
to the production of sorghum, which can be used as a substitute.
Sugar will be scarce and expensive, and consumption must be
reduced, but this is not an unmixed evil. People can get along
with less sugar without injury. The English people, even before
the armistce was signed, had their ships in Cuban ports loading
sugar, and in this way carried overseas most of the old crop.
England is not worried about a sugar shortage. Neither need
we be if the profiteers do not corner the supply and hold up the
consumers for %exorbitant prices, The opportunity for nefarious
gain is so great that, unless the government is alert and quick
to act, the profneers and manipulators will reap a rich harvest
at the expense Of the people. The West can take care OF itself.
while Cuba can supply the rest of the country.
The action OF the government in fixing the wholesale price
OF sugar at II cents, with the exception OF the Louisiana crop.
which has been fixed at II cents a pound, is a practical demonstra-
ton OF what can be done when the government begins to func-
tln with its strong arm, There has not been and is not now a
singer shortage. That wholesalers and brokers have beer unable
to get a supply for their customers means nothing more than a
corner on the market. ant an attempt on the part Of the manipu-
lators to bleed the public. When a commodity cannot be pur-
chased at a reasonable price, but is plentiful at an ~exorbitant
price, it is due to nothing less than criminal manipulation,
