CUBAN SUGAR INDUSTRY
Capitalistic Plot To Dominate Say
Havana Newspaper
[Associated Press Dispat

lASSOcldl6Q fTeSS DlSpaLcn.I ~.
Havana, July THE, newspaper
that a ''capitalistic plot" to dominate
the Cuban sugar industry has been
formed and that all the Cuban sugar
centrals will be owned by foreigners.
The newspaper asserts that when
the Cuban sugar business is found in
foreign hands, it is almost certain
that the price of sugar will rise as if
by magic and that the business will
be on an even more stupendous scale
than now.
When American capitalists began
an invasion to secure control of Cuban
centrals," the paper continued, they
toresaw an era Of prosperity and
bought, without sparing their millions
as many sugar properties as were for
sale. The price Of the product rose
to % cents, and then IL was seen that
good part of the crop remained in
Cuban hands and that the Cubans as
pired to obtain the highest possible
price. Then the price fell like an av-
alanche from twenty three to three
cents.
First bank crisis, then a currency
crisis. There was no money to pay
for refining, nobody to buy this years
crop from the Cubans. Our sugar
men now find themselves owing large
sums - of money to the banks. They
have not been able to sell their crop.
With the termination of the morator-
ium will disappear the restriction
against pending commercial obliga-
tions. The sugar men will have to
pay or go bankrupt. The banks are
not interested in holding sugar cen
trails.
ON the other hand, there exists
much Idle foreign caDital which ia an
xious to make a killing. Right now
a powerful company Is being formed
10 acquire every central and planta-
ton whose owner cannot pay. The
properties secured, the debts will he
paid: So what is worth from five to
ten Is secured for one. A case of on
portunity." ~

Once again the flowers Of summer
Blossom DER this earth SO fair;
Virgie, dear, thou art not with us
And these joys thou wilt not share.
Thou art Journeying to the homeland
Where there is no need of sun;
We must bow our heads and murmur
Lord, thy Will, not our, be done.
Yes, our Virgie we will miss thee
TlR.cnSi the struggles of this life:
But we know that thou are resting
Where there Is no care or strife
Virgie has passed through the valley
OF the shadow, dark and drear
See, the angels come to great her ,
Saying. Soul come over here"
Now she beckons from the homeland
To the mother and brothers left alone,
am resting now with Jesus
For me you must not mourn.
No dear heart we would not call thee
Back to earth to suffer more.
We will stay and wait Gods coming
Till we meet on onder shore.
