NEW YORK, October 20-Claus A. Spreckles, President of the Federal Sugar Refining Company, who declar- ed recently on his arrival from Eur ope that sugar was too high, empha- sized his remarks today by announcing that he would at once shut down the Federal Company's plant at Yonkers N. r., He said, Sugar must come down in price. According to reports I have received from Cuba conditions there are such, owing to the heavy cane growth, that they expect to be- gin grinding the new crop about one month or sir weeks earlies than usual. Cables from France show the beat crop to be unprecedented in purity and sugar contained than in record years. Beet sugar producers of Europe will have a surplus amounting to over eighteen thousand tons, and I cannot see where there will be any exports of sugar to Europe for at least six months more. Sugar has been advanced in price three quarters of cent in the last two or three weeks and this ad- vance, bears the earmarks of specula- tion and not because of legitimate con ditions. cannot but expect when this new crop begins to come in or in an ticipation it it in the next thirty days, sugar must drop."

New Minister of Chile
 Has a Delicate Task
(By The United Press)

Santiago, Chile (By MaiD. Feb. 10.-The direction of the foreign policy of Chile, and at present the handling of the communication with Peru, which may result in termin- ating the forty-year-old Tacna-Arica controversy, is under the guidance Of the youngest foreign minister in Chile's history.
 Ernesto Barros Jarpa, the present head of the foreign office, is only twenty-eight years of age. He has held his post for six months. He was the only member of the preced- ing ministry to continue at his post when the new Tocornal Cabinet was formed two months ago.
 The youthful chancellor rose from the ranks of journalism to his pres ent high position He was appoint ed Under-Secretary of Foreign Af- fairs when President Alessandri took office a year ago, and was later ele- vated to the head of the depart ment when Alessandris first cabinet fell.
 The honor of having been the youngest cabinet minister Chile has ever had falls to President Alessan- dri himself. He was Minister of Public Works when only twenty three.
 Many of the under secretaries are in their twenties and early thirties, Under Secretary Crucnaga, of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is no more than thirty; the Under-secre- tary of Justice is thirty, and the Under-secretary of War is in his twenties.
 The selection of young men to fill these high governmental positions is a feature of the policy of President Alessandri. It's justification is the popular approval which it has en- countered.
 So far, however, the Ministry of the Interior-ex- -officio head of tho cabinet-continues to be entrusted to one of age and experience. Dn Ismael Tocornal, present government head, has grown grizzled in the political service of his country, and his ability to keep placated the vari- ous clashing party factions motivat- ed the president in seeking him to

 OIL TESTS TO
 KEEP GOING
Report That Scott Syndi- cate Would Abandon Field Erroneous-Lease Extension Granted.
(From Fridays Dail!)

Those interested in oil develop Iment in Northeast Arkansas will be gratified to learn that the Scott Drilling Syndicate, operating ill Poinsett county, will continue it's program of test well drilling there, hear Harrisburg. It was reported |some time ago that the company was planning to abandon the field; but, according to news item ap- bearing in the Modern News of this date, operations will continue. The fourth well, located one hundred fleet from the No. 2 test north of Harrisburg about two miles, will soOn be drilled In order to avoid previous sources of trouble, the fourth venture will be started with To fifteen inch casing, according to the News.
 The Modern News, published at Harrisburg. says in tis latest issue:
 "A large crew of men has been ct work at test oil well No. 2. They have moved the derrick at that loca ton about 100 feet from the No, 2 we'll, which was plugged, and, of reset all the machinery, and dig new pits, which will take several days, and perhaps it will be the first of March or possibly later before the drill can be started in the new hole
 Nearly all of our people were ready and willing to extend their leases in compliance with MT. Scott's request, and as we believe he was justly entitled to the extension he asked for, we feel sure that nearly every person will make the exten- sion of same.
 "Mr. Scott informs us that when lie starts another well he will set 15-inch casing in first and will keep the hole as large as he can as he goes on down.
 we do not know what Mir. Scott has spent here in an attempt to pi iHs, Itt dH oif WSi, De1 wv "o"As estimate the amount to be around S250,000.00. This has been total loss to him and he is now starting in just where he was at first, ex- cept for having the experience and learning the formations to a depth of about 2,300 feet.
 "TLese operations of MT, Scott cover a period of about two years and during all that time we have rot made a single prediction as to the outcome of any of the work or wells, but we are going to make the prediction now that the next well will be an oil we'll"

In conversation with Q representative of the Press this afternoon, Mr. Pierce said he was at present undecided as. to what business he would take up. He said he was thinking more of taking needed rest after which he would enter upon some line Of endeavor here.

 Joker Found in Law.
 The National Union of Farm Loan Associations, represented in Washington by w. w. Flanagan, national secretary of the advisory committee, charged that because of a joker" slipped into a bill passed in January, 1918, which provided for continuing the temporary or ganization" of all farm loan banks, farm loan associations were depriv- ed of the right to vote, as provided for in the original act.
 The bill referred to authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to buy $2O0, 100000 worth of bonds of Federal land banks and provided that so long as the Treasury holds such bonds the temporary organiza- tions of the farm loan boards should continue in power.
 Representatives of the Farm Loan Associations charge that this will have the effect of depriving farm loan bank members of the right to vote for at least twenty years. They attack the provision as unconstitu- tional.
 Deprived of Voting Right.
 Despite the fact that the Farm Loan Associations own $20,000, 900 out of $26,000,000 of capital stock Of the twelve Federal land banks they have been deprived of the right to vote and to participate in the selection of directors of the Federal land banks" declares a statement issued by the associa- tion's heads in Washington.
