Observation-Disclosures Wilson
has decided not to exercise powers
conferred in the McNary sugar con-
troll bill authorizing purchase and dis
tribution of the Cuban sugar crop,
according to a statement issued re-
Gently at the White House.
The statement said the president
had made his decision on the basis
of facts presented for his considera
ton and the recommendation of the
sugar equalization board.
The declaration Is made that ap
parently the available sugar supply
Is sufficient for American needs
"even on the present unnecessarily
large basis of consumption" and no
tice is given that the power of price
control through the licensing system
authorized by the bill. will be in
voked If necessary, in cooperation
with the department of justice. Fig
ures attached put the estimated con
sumption in the United States al
slightly nor than 4,500,0 600 tons, Of
which normally only 1,O00,O 900 tons
are domestic production. AS the Gu
ban crop is unusually large at 1890,
900 tons, of which the allies. however
because of limited purchasing power
will take about 1850, 900 tons, and
as the estimated Louisiana western
beet, Hawaiian and Porto Rican pro
duction will reach 100000 tons, the
statement foresees a sufficient sup
ply for American needs.
The American per capita consump.
ton of sugar, the statement said. had
risen from 5 pounds in 1866 to an
average of IS pounds during the 1914.
1918 period and to 80 pounds for
1913.

LEAGUE OF. NATIONS
SOON TO HOLD MEET
PRESIDENT WILSON MAY ISSUE
FORMAL NOTICE TO DELE.
GATES FOR MEETING
NOT COMMIT UNITED STATES
Summoning concIave Does Not OBJ
iigate America to Participate
in Deiiberations.-CaIl
Informal.

PARASITIC informal call for the
first meeting of the league of nations
council will be issued by Premier
Clemenceau, the supreme council has
decided.
This call is regarded as a simple
notification to enable the delegates to
reach the appointed place in Paris in
time for the meeting, formal notice
of which it is still intended to have
President Wilson issue, according to
the present program.
1t is pointed out in official circles
that it is immaterial who issues the
informal notice, and that even the
formal notice is a simple detail. The
issuance of the formal notice de.
wolves upon President Wilson by the
provision of the treaty of Versailles,
but it is held that in case of his in
ability to act in the matter any other
representative of one of the five
principal powers forming the exc.
cutive council of the league could
issue the notice.
Wilson May issue Call.
WASHINGTON--Study of the sub.
ject has convinced officials here that
President Wilson may issue the call
for the first meeting Of the council
of the league Of nations without
committing the United States gov
eminent to participation in the
league. In accordance with that view
necessary preliminary steps have
been taken, it is understood, to per-
Wilson to comply with the re-
quirements of the treaty that he issue
the formal call.
The call will be made Immediately
upon publication in the official
French organ of the process verbal"
proclaiming the completion of the
of the peace treaty. which
is expected within a week. Though
not officially stated, it is believed
that the call by President Wilson
will be issued through the secretariat
of the league in London or Paris.

AS for the food situation, Mr..
Hoover asserted that Austria alone
is facing a critical situation and that
as a whole mo such situation con
fronted us as last year at this time
and there is no ground for hysteria
on either side of the Atlantic" and
he added that the time is nearing
when this country must ease tc

business processes"
"The world needs to get away from
the nation Of governmental help, both
internally and externally and gel
back to work and business" Mr.
Hoover declared.
