Government Will Not
Buy Cuba's Sugar Crop,
President Announces
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.


'On October 3, the Sugar Equaliza-
ton Board, through its President, ex-
pressed to the Senate Committee itss
view that the Cuban crop for 1874
should and could be purchased pro
vided the powers of control hereto
fore exercised by the board were con-
tinued in full until December 81, 40.
Conditions have now so changed
that the board does not believe that
action by il would secure a regu-
lar supply Of sugar for the year
1920 at a reasonable price.
One of the elements which helped
materially to make the boards ac-
tion for the 1919 crop effective. no
longer exists. The board was able
to deal with the unified Cuban SELL
in- agency for the 1919 crop. and
to secure and control the entire
crop. Now there is no person or
committee authorized to sell the
balance of the 1920 Cuban crop.
Therefore. If the government should
appear in the Cuban market as a
purchaser of the sugar. it would
have TO compete with private buy
ers. and the tendency would be to
further increase the price.
Prices to Stay Up.
The conditions in the United
States are such that there would be
little hope of the boards being able
10 reduce the price of sugar by pur-
chasing the Cuban crop. 1t is pos
sible that when the flow of raw
sugars from the large crops of Cuba
and Porto Rico reaches its peak in
March or April. prices may be some
what reduced.
The recent act keeps alive the
licensing power of the board. pro-
viding that whenever the President
shall find that any storage charge,
commission, profit, or practice of
any Iicensee is unjust or unreason-
able or discriminatory or unfair, he
may order the discontinuance of the
same. and il necessary, find what is
a just, a fair charge, profit or prac-
tice. This power will be invoked. il
necessary, and exercised in cooper
alton with the Department of JUS
tice, will be of assistance in pre-
venting pTofiteering"

MERCER WEAPON
IN FARES BATTLE
Public May Demand Lines

Boost Is Sought.
SERVICE NOT IMPROVED
Financial Relief for Com
panies Brings No Riding
Relief for Patrons.

Merging the two local street rail-
way companies as the best solution
Of washington's continued traction
troubles will be pushed with renewed
vigor IL the agitation, for increased
fares started by the Washington
Railway and Electric Company dew
elops into a formal petition.
This was learned yesterday from an
Official OF the Public Utilities Commits
sion In the opinion OF this official,
a merger of the two companies will
mean reduced fares and greatly i'm
proved service. A merger has long
been advocated by civic bodies of
Washington.
The Public Utilities Commission can
not force a merger. however. ii was
pointed out yesterday by Commits
sioner Louis Brownlow. chairman OF
the Public Utilities Commission.
When asked IL this could be accom-
plished in any other way, Commits
sioner Brownlow explained that Con-
gress might condemn the two COM
panies and sell them to the public.
No Voluntary MERGER.
The probability that the traction in
terests here will voluntarily agree to
consolidate Is remote. in view of past
attitudes assumed at numerous pub
lie hearings before the commission.
II the Washington Railway and
Eleetris Company were granted a
straight seven-cent cash fare or even
an eiSht-cent fare il is doubtful IL
the increased revenue would meet
the demand of the company for a
fair return on investment. it was
stated. The public has reached the
conclusion that mere fare increases
will never solve the local traction
problem. Increased rates have been
granted. two-cent transfers have been
given a trial, promises have been
made. but the fact remains that Of
hcials are no nearer their goal-public
seryice-now than in the past.
Problem Here Peculiar.
Washington is presented with a
traffic condition that no other city
in the country faces" declared Com
missioner BrownIow. yesterday. Con
gestion crystallizes at two distinct
peaks one in the morning when
thousands of government workers are
intent on reaching their places OF
work at o'clock. and again in the
evening when the homeward rush
begins"
Another condition in Washington
and found in no other city except
New York-he explained, is the ex-
pensive underground trolley system

other conduit troubles are RESPONSE

OMAHA T0HIT
MILK GOUGER
Municipal Action Expected
To Set Price at Ten
Cents Quart.

Omaha. Jan. IL 1.-The milk crisis.
which is being recognized as an acute
problem in many American cities. -
to be solved in Omaha through mu-
nicipal action.
r. B. Howell. superintendent OF the
Board of Water Commissioners, who
battled many years to take the city's
water supply out of the hands of
private eNploiters, believes that milk
is no less public necessity than
water.
Omaha fire stations are to be used
as milk depots and the cost of milk
to the housewife cut in two. That is,
unless means can be found to upset
the plans of Howell, the Midwest
Milk Producers Cooperative Associa-
ton and the earnest desire Of twenty
three engine house crews to give still
further service to the city.
The farmer gets s cents a quart
for milk delivered to the distributor
in Omaha" Mr. Howell explained.
After his trucking bills are paid. he
has a net receipt Of about ) cents a
quart.
Milk costs the consumer Is cents a
quart over the grocery counter and
presently will cost IS
The cost OF distribution. plus the
middleman's profit, is three times the
cost OF production.
According to our plan. farmers will
receive S cents a quart for milk and
housewives will pay TO-
