WILSON SUGAR PRICES

Mr.. Hoover's remarks on the
tragedy of sugar prices are Clarity
ing. Retrospectively speaking, at
least, they are helpful. First, as to
the blame for the ascension. The
former Food Controller leaves no
doubt as to where the responsibility
lies. He says that last September
the Administration could have
bought the Cuban sugar crop at 6 1-2
cents a pound" This would have
given the American consumer IL
cents sugar for 1920. But the Presi-
dent refused to sanction the pur-
chase, acting, it is said, on the ad-
vice of distinguished professor of
economy, who told him that sugar
would take care of itself. 1t is due
solely to what Mr.. Hoover calls "bad
business administration" that the
consumers sugar bills have in
creased 100 per cent.
Second, as to the limited remedy
against excess prices still available
Mr.. Hoover believes that the $50
extra a year which each American
family has been condemned to pay
for the Presidents mistake may be
shaved down through rationing of
sugar. If sugar were allotted only for
essential consumption there would
be enough to go around at lower
price. But it takes moral courage on
the part of a government to ration
food. The very rudimentary food
rationing machinery which was esta-
blished in 1917 and 1918 has been
scrapped. The Admini-
stration has taken instead to threat
ening and prosecuting individual
profiteers. That is easy and makes
stir. But fine or Jail sentence i'm
posed on the profiteer doesn't put any
back in pockets of mulcted
consumers. Other profiteers spring
up to collect toll. And what consti-
sutcs fair or unfair profit can be de-
:crmincd in the long run only
through the ditums of government
~2~ulation.
Mr.. Hoover also suggests that the
Administration might enter into a
compact with foreign governments
which a-e the largest purchasers of
sugar to check reckless bidding for
applies. Such an arrangement
"ouli take much time to negotiate.

orr domestic production covers only
l small percentage of the domestic
demand. Prohibition of sales by
to brokers and specu,
atols might help. But here also
he lack Of a genuine regulatory
system would make enforcement diff

The consumer has been turned
,ver to the shearers. Anything done
low can only temper the wind for

lnguished emotions. He is finding

1T SHOULD BE STRUCK OUT.

When the ways ana means Soi'
mittee of the House meets today TO
consider the Soldiers and Sailors Re-
lief bill, a motion will be made to
strike out the cash bonus sections.
There would remain in the bill prl-
visions for farm or home aid, voca-
tional training and paid-up lnsur
ance, which could be carried out WITH
out the immediate or early eXpendl
ture of sum of money estimated at

light of the difficulties Ct finding the
money to pay cash bonuses and talk
ed grandiloquently Of the obligation
of the country to homer preTioU*'E

for services was not preferred. The
Government was not expected to pay

Who had fought to save the Union

lars for each month with the colors;
and many of the veterans mad fought

tions of great hardship anI Gepriva-,,
ton. Loyalty and love OF country In
1876 were not Indifferent to the
general welfare. The men who played
their part in a spirit Of patriotism IN!
the Spanish war did not come home
to calculate how much better off they
would have been if they had not gone
to the front, and to demand that
they should be reimbursed Tor their
pecuniary sacrifices.
Since the cash bonus Tor waole and
capable men was first agitated the
country has been thinking ii the IN
tervals CT the harass;ng struggle to
keep the wolf from the door, and
members of Congress have heard
from the country. 1t does not believe
that the cash bonus, whether right
eous or not, whether theoretically
due or not, could be paid without
sapping the foundations of the pub
lie credit and without multiplying
the economic woes from which the
people are suffering with excraordi-
nary patience and waning hope OF
relief-waning because TIE polite
ians in Congress have seemed to be
bent upon adding to the people'A
burden to attract the votes of the
cash bonus seekers.
But even the politicians in. Con-
gress are beginning to understand
that the voters opposed to the cash
distribution might greatly exceed in
numbers the benefciaries. SO the
movement in both houses to discard
the cash bonus from the relief bill Is
gathering momentum. The other fea-
lures of the measure would call for
a gradual expenditure of money over
a period of years, and in the case of
farm and home aid the Government
would eventually receive back what
it had loaned. Vocational training
would also repay the country in in
creased production and in useful cit
izenship. If the Ways anc Means
