Shutting Sugar.

Nearly half billion more pounds
of sugar brought from Cuba to this
country the past year than during
the previous year, and Yet we arc
told it is scarce and going TO be
much higher. Moreover the sugar
crop Of British India is reported to
be nearly one and a half billion
pounds larger than the year before.
One wonders-but for that matter
that seems to be all we may do.
They are having an investigation
in Philadelphia. 1t would be news
to learn of the place where they arc
not investigating. But this one in
! Philadelphia may satisfy "A little
curiosity, which is more than most
of the Investigations. may be de-
pended on to do.
Some one ascertained that sugar
refining company Of that city had
plenty Of sugar but none for sale on
the plea that the concern had re-
fined the sugar for other people. The
law provides that the maximum
profit to a jobber on sugar shall be
one cent per pound, while retailers
are permitted two cents profit, but
there is no law preventing refiner
from charging what he pleases.
1t is said that refiners generally
have kept down prices fairly we'll but
some are willing to sell to a jebber
and then do the. refining for him.
that by such a hocus pocus the job
her becomes a refiner and charges
what he pleases. So the shutting of
sugar goes merrily on and the price
goes higher, and the amount you can
buy grows less Seemingly all who
have had opportunity in this hand
ling of sugar have made a sticky
mess of it. The Attorney General
permitting the Louisiana sugar men
to charge seventeen cents; the re-
fusal Of the President on the advice
of some economic SHARP to buy
Cuban sugar at the right time, and
all along the line.

A Frank Ambassador.

It contributes to national sociabil-
ity to have intercourse as informal
and frank as possible and Sir Auck-
land Geddes, the new representative
Of Great Britain, appears to recog-
nize this. He does not hesitate to
admit. though declaring England has
no quarrel with Ireland, which
should be permitted to settle it's do
mestic affairs, that Erin must be
considered very much an essential
part Of the strategic unit Of the Brit
ish Isles.
Whatever may be thought respect
ing the exact justice Of this position
few will be surprised to find that
England is in no mood to have her
Irish outposts occupied by an en-
envy. During the war conditions
were bad enough and Germany made
the most she blunderingly could of
the disaffection in Ireland. Surely
England cannot be expected to en-
courage that sort of thing. On the
other hand the Irish in this. as al
ways in England's wars, gave good
account of themselves in the fight
ing. and England can ill afford to
dispense with that kind of assistance.
In this connection some may re-
call that well known writer while
arguing that the Irish are incapable
of governing themselves declared he
loved the Irish, nevertheless, and
would rather be with an freshman in
a trench in Flanders than with a
Heinie in the Kingdom of Heaven.
And underlying British arrogance
and Irish turbulence we have faith
to believe there may yet be found
genuine affection. We hope so, for
it is inconceivable that the intimacy
of their association and mutual de-
pendence is to come to any abrupt
end
