Washington, D. C.-President Har
ding, in one of the most important
speeches made in years, touching upon
many questions vital to the nation, ad.
dressed Congress as follows:
Members of the Congress You have
been called into extraordinary session
to give your consideration to national
problems far too pressing to be long
neglected.
We face our task of legislation and
administration amid conditions as diff
ncult as our government has ever con-
tempated.
Under our political system the peo-
pie of the United States have charged
the new Congress and the new admin
istration with the soluton--the read
justment, reconstruction and restora-
tion which must follow in the wake OF
war.
1t may be regretted that we were
20 lily prepared for wars aftermath,
80 little made ready to return to the
ways of peace, but we are not to be
discouraged. Indeed, we must be the
more firmly resolved to undertake our
work with high hope, and invite every
factor in our citizenship TO join in the
effort TO find our normal, onward way
again.
The American people have appraised
the situation and with that tolerance
and patience which go with under
standing they will give TO us the in.
fluence of deliberate public opinion
which ultimately becomes the edlct of
any popular government They are
measuring some of the stern necessi-
ties and will join in the give-and-take
which is so essential to firm re-estab-
lishmen.
First in mind must be the solution
of our problems at home, even though
some phases of them are insepnrably
linked with our foreign relations. The
surest procedure in every government
is to put its own house in order.
know of NO more pressing problem
at home than to restrict our national
expenditures within the limits OF oui
national income, and at the same time
measurably INT the burdens Of war
The Glenwood post., 1921-04-16

maturer revision OF our tariff laws
should be based on the policy of pro-
lection, resisting that selfishness which
turns to greed, but ever concerned with
that productivity at home which is the
source of all abiding good fortune. 1t
Is agreed that we cannot sell unless we
buy, but ability to sell is based on
home development and the fostering
of home markets. There is little sen
timent in the trade Of the world. Trade
can and ought to be honorable, but
1t knows no sympathy. While the del
egates of the nations at war were de
batting peace terms at Paris and while
we later debated our part in complet-
Ing the peace, commercial agents of
other nations were opening their lines
and establishing their outposts with Il
forward look to the morrow's trade.
1t was wholly proper and has been ad-
vantageous to them. Tardy as we are,
it will he safer to hold our own mar
kets secure and build thereon for our
trade with the world.

SUGAR rs PLENTIFUL
Beet Crop in 1920 is 27 Per Cent.
Above Record in 1915

Beet sugar production in 1920 ex-
ceeded the former record of 1915 by
Y ~ per cent. and reached the high
. figure of 2,219,200,000 pounds, &C.
cording to. d preliminary estimate of
the Bureau of Crop Estimates of the
Department of Agriculture. The in
creased yield was the result of a COM
blnation of large acreage and favor
able weather conditions. Produc-
tlon OF cane sugar is estimated to
have been 385, 5,974,000 pounds, so
that the total estimated sugar crop
for the United States was, 2,6O5,17
000 pounds. This was Is per cent.
above the record sugar production for
the United States in 1916 and So
per cent. above that of 1919. Beet
sugar has been gaining on cane sugar
production for many years, taking
the lead as early as 1906.
Sugar produced in. the United
States is said to be approximately
one-fourth Of the quantity consumed,
and both the total and per capita
consumption have steadily increased.
The per capita was II pounds a year
during 1901-19Q5, and 78 pounds dur
ing f9O6-191O.
In 1913 and 1914, the two pre-war
years, the per capita consumption
rose to &c and 905 pounds, respec-
lively. In the first year of the war. I
1915. it dropped to S7.5 pounds, and
IN 1915 to 1876 pounds. "A rise:t
$50 pounds was noted in 1917, Amer
ica's first year in the war. DESPITE
the popular impression Of a sugar
scarcity in 1918, the rate that wear
was 1877 pounds, followed in 1919 by
84.2 pounds.
Then came period of extraordin-
ary sugar consumption with 90
pounds in 1920, and the total rose to
the enormous quantity of 9,75O.OOO.- |
oOO pounds or 1,000,0QO,OOO pounds |
more than in the preceding wear
Last years Hawaiian sugar cron
was the smallest, of the five years
ended Sept. 80, 1920, according to re-
vsed figures of the bureau. The pro-
duction OF 555,727 short tons of su-
gar in 1920 was per cent below the
average Of the preceding four years.
There was a drop Of S per cent in the
harvested cane area and of per cent.
IN the cane yield per acre, due to a
somewhat unfavorable year for cane
production, Thus the total cane pro-
duced for sugar was about 8 per cent.
below the average Of the four years
!9l6-l9. However, the cane harvest
In 1920 yielded two pounds Of sugar
per short ton more than the average.

ing to testimony given yesterday be-
fore the House Committee on Agricui-
ture by Thomas E. Wilson, of Chicago.
president OF the Institute of Ameri-
can Meat Packers.
Wilson appeared on behalf of 200
packing companies to voice their op-
position to tho Norris s-McLaughlin
bill. which proposes the establish
ment of new federal commission for
the regulation and control OF the
packing industry in the United states.
Wilson told the committee that the
proposed legislation would "simply
divert the largest single Industry In
America from energetic efforts to ad-
just itself to a changed and dinicutt
situation" and declared that the ultt-
mate result would be as harmful 10
the live stock producers a. to the
packing industry itself.
SAYS PROFIT 10 CENTS PER HEAD.
In discussing profits in the indus-
try, Wilson pointed out that the net
profit to the Ave big packers on live
stock slaughtered by them amounted
to nineteen cents per head, and said
that II this were refunded to the
millions Of producers 1t would amount
to such a small sum. to each iDdi-
vidual that he would scarcely realize
II.
"On the other hand" he continued,
''if the entire net profit. which was
equivalent to less than a quarter OF
cent on each dollar Of sales was
distributed between the tens Of mill
lions of consumers who purchased our
products. there would not be coin
small enough in denomination to
make the change as he bought his
dollars worth. II is the immense VOL
ume of business gradually accumulat-
ing these small fractions that make
