Price Of Sugar In
New York Is At
New Low Mark
Decline Comes on Saturday
And Plantation Company
Stocks Decline Sharply on
The News in Honolulu.

Price of raw sugar dropped below
cents Saturday, Associated Press
dispatches said that in the New York
market duty free raws sold on basis
of 1916, the lowest record since
prewar days.
News of further declines in sugar
prices had a depressing effect on the
Honolulu stock market and was fol
lowed by some severe declines in SUI
gar company stocks, II. G.. & S. Co.
and Waialua each losing a dollar,
Oahu and Pioneer each q, Eva IS
and Wailuku quarter. Further losses
in some shares were shown at the
session of the exchange yesterday,
Eva losing another "a, Oahu IS and
Waialua and Pioneer a quarter. Nc
Bryde lost a and Olaa an eighth in
the two days.
Accompanying the news of the de-
cline of raw prices in New York came
a dispatch which said the Cuban COM
mission would go out of existence
with the beginning of the 1922 cam
paign. 1t appeared that the trade
looks for a throwing overheard of the
Cuban surplus when the commission
is no more.
Ou MAUI dCCOlulllS W ltpOl
in Honolulu men prominent in the SUI
gar industry took the decline philoso-
phically and some can be quoted as
taking a rather optimistic view, that
the lower price will tend for more
speedy absorption of the surplus sugar
of the last crop and tend to bring a
more stable and probably stronger
market when the next campaign
opens.
1t is recognized that there are sew
eral factors which may enter into
prices of the next crop. There are
insistent efforts to secure something
for the American interests in Cuba
from Congress. If anything be done
the beet growers of the middle west
and west will expect some relief as
well and if anything be done for the
mainland beet growers Porto Rican
and Hawaiian producers will have
right to expect some similar relief.
Another factor which enters into
consideration is the report that the
coming Cuban crop will be much
smaller than the last, there being
some rumors of reduction even down
to $500 900, which is 100000 tons
under this seasons production. SO on
Maui, at least, the tendency is to
make no forecasts on probable prices
but to await developments.

nese government in a statement made
public said that the Chinese Bankers
Association offered to pay the interest

ing on in China, organized by the
Chamber of Commerce educational So

China is settled and her reconstruc-
tion completed

Efforts which proved futile were
made by officials and the foreign
foreign banks to induce Sir F. A.
Aglem inspector general of the i'm

phasized the fact that Lloyd George

agreement against the interest of any

Baron Kato expressed perfect salts

China. The Chinese expressed their
qualification and representatives of
other nations said good start had
been made toward an agreement upon
Eastern questions.
Navy Reduction Prospects
Their are strong indications that
definite progress towards agreement
on the American proposals Tor naval
armament limitations. There is no
indication that the United States will
consider proposed notifications of the
5-53 ratio and it is understood that
Japan wants to retain the battleship
Mutsu which is nearly completed, in
which case the United States may re-
tain one of it's new battleships, per
haps the newly launched West Vir-
ginia, which it has offered to scrap.
Baron Shidehara of the Japanese
delegation is i'll and no Improvement

Indications point to an understand
ing" rather than treaty as to the
form a Far Eastern agreement will
take. Such an arrangement would be
classed as a "gentlemen's agreement"
and would not require ratification by
the senate. 1t is possible that the
naval reductions agreement will take
the same form, but that is unsettled.
1t is stated on British authority that
the committee of the whole on Far
Eastern questions intends settling de-
tails of the Chinese question which in
clude Japan's occupancy of Kiauchau
and part of Shanghai
President Harding is keeping in
close touch with the work of the con-
ference. Lodge sees the President
both before and after sessions. He
says the President is gratified at the
progress made this far.
Limitations of land ornaments was
taken up and considered for the first
time at the third plenary meeting of
the conference yesterday morning. In
calling the session to order, President
Hughes said that he took pleasure
in saying that gratifying progress
has been made during the first week
of the conference.
In presenting the subject of land
armaments and their limitations
Hughes said the subject presented no
problems for the United States for
its traditional policy was to maintain
small army.
France was considered most vitality
interested of any of the nations in
land armaments and especial interest
attached to what Premier BRAND had
to say for his country. He told the
delegates that France planned fur
ther reductions in the numerical
strength of its army. France, he said
was anxious to take all measures
possible to assure a lasting peace, no
nation more so, but France cannot
lay down her arms under present cir
cumstances owing to conditions that
closely touch her national integrity.
Owing TO unstable conditions France
must measure them with reference
to the consequences upon her
own security. He denied that France
is seeking military supremacy OF
Europe.

Treasurer Metzger
Talks About Tolls
ASSOCIATED PRESS

HONOLULU, Nov. 22-Treasurer
Metzger has issued statement in re-
gard to wharf tolls and the establish
ment of a wharf fund to be controlled
by the Harbor Board and says that
such a plan would result in the cur
tailment of legislative appropriations
for wharf maintenance.
"The law which establishes the
tolls cannot be construed so as to
create a special fund under the sole
jurisdiction of the Harbor Board"
says Metzger. There is also the
possibility that if the courts held the
harbor board should control such a
fund the revenues would fiuctuate
and result in the commission being
short of money at the time it might
most need it,"

BRAND Grows Dramatic

BRAND Grows Dramatic
Explaining more fully why he con-
sidered France in no position to re-
duce greatly her land armaments
BRAND said that while Germany is
apparently disarming she could with
her present machinery readily raise
an army of 100000 to 100000.
More than $4,000 Germans are receiv-
ing daily military training.
BRAND read excerpts from Luden-
DORIS writing which said that the ms
titutionS of war are a creation of God
and then he dramatically threw the
manuscript to the floor, eXclaiming:
How can anyone ask France to dis
arm under such conditions"
Others Pledge Support
Balfour for Britain practically
pledged his country's support for
France "in the face of such lust for
domination and Hughes assured Bri-
and that the United Staes fully under
stood the position of France, adding
There can be no will to peace until
the institution of liberty and justice
has been secured and there is no mo-
raj isolation for the defenders of IL
berty and justice"
Schanzer said that Italy is planning
to reduce it's army below 100000 men
and Kato said that Japan wants only
such an army as is necessary for pure
ly defensive purposes necessitated by
the Far Eastern situation"
Once more referring to Germany,
BRAND said: "If Germany's army is
to be in conformity with the peace
treaty there is no accounting for the
secret instructions of some of the
German military authorities. These
men are not only prepared for mill
tary service but for war, if needed.
The German government has done its
duty but the authority of the chan
cellor is little more than local and
the German government is weak,
There is still another organization OF
10000 former enlisted men and
France demands their dissolution"
Saturday afternoon there was
conference between Hughes, Balfour
and Kato when naval armament Ques-
tions were canvassed in the light of
the Japanese reservations. On Sun
day the greatest confidence was ex-
pressed in Japanese circles that an
accord will eventually be reached and
the position of Japan was set forth
as that of determination to attain
favorable agreement.
Japanese experts are emphatic in
insisting that in reckoning tonnage
the logical basis is tonnage. They
point out that a battle cruiser may
possess greater speed but is inferior
to a dreadnaught and in naval en-
gagements would be at a disadvan-
tage. They therefore claim that Bri-
tish and Japanese capital ships in
clude battle cruisers and this is not
an indication of superiority and
should not be so counted.
Japan has no positive program con-
cerning the general question of China
but is prepared to explain her posi-
tion as various points are presented.
