SEEK PLAN To KEEP
SUGAR PRICE LOW
Cuba May Face CHOICE Of
Cutting 1922 Production or
Paying High Buty.
by DAVID LAWRENCE.

President Harding is trying to
work out compromise between the
various sugar producing interests Of
the United States and Cuba whereby
the price of sugar to the consumer
shall never again go to the heights
that were reached during the war.
The President is constantly dis
cussing the problem with Secretary
Hoover, Senator Smoot and agricul-
tural senator's on the one hand and
the representatives of Cuban pro-
ducers on the other.
The big question underlying the
whole thing is whether the slight in
crease in the cost of sugar to the
consumer, which the producers saw
is inevitable if their industry is to
be preserved, will cause such dis
satisfaction as to be politically dan
gerous this year.
Back of the sugar problem is the
vivid recollection of inerdinate prices
after the war. when the government
let go and ceased regulation. The
administration knows that few
things come closer home than the
price of sugar. and it is therefore
that will satisfy the sugar producers
and the farmers and will not rouse
the ire Of the public as whole
"ubN oO
All the various interests concerned
both producers and refiners-are of
the opinion that whatever solution is
worked out the price of sugar must
go up slightly-pOssibly four-tenths
of a cent pOund--as it now is being
sold at less than the cost of pro-
duction. During the war. when the
gar industry through it's ability to
fix the price. the American people
bought sugar at a lower rate than
did the peoples of other countries. 1t
was only after the war, when the Gu
ban producers thought there was a
world wide shortage. and when the
government at Washington declined
to purchase the Cuban crop. but did
control the American domestic output.
that prices went up. 1t is realized
that as long as Cuba furnishes SO per
cent of the sugar consumed by the
American public some balance must
be preserved between Cuban and
American production.
American beet sugar producers
claim that the Cubans extended them
selves and really imagined that the
high prices Of sugar would continue
indefinitely. While they were holding
for higher prices something like 500.
900 tons came into the United States
from forty-four different countries.
and, even though the full duty was
paid. the imported sugar found a
ready market. This. however, caused
the accumulation in Cuba of a surplus
of about 100000 tons. 1t is this sur
plus, carried into the present grinding
season in Cuba, which is the monkey
wrench in the whole situation. If
somebody. tomorrow, could wipe out
that surplus and leave the Cuban pro-

Cuban crop would be limited for one
year. SO as to absorb the existing
surplus and restore the balance be-
tween America and Cuba.
The situation touches the heart Of
Cuba and Gen. CroWder, who has
just returned from there has reported
that there is a direct relationship be-
tween stable political conditions and
the settlement of the economic fac
tors involved in the sugar tariff. The
entire administration is agreed that
her production to 100000 tons dur
ing the year 1922, this. together. with
the surplus of 100000 tons, can be
absorbed by Europe and the Amer
lean people without change In the ex-
listing tariff of $3.50 per hundred
pounds against Cuba. After TINS is
once absorbed normal conditions. II

will be no need for an increase Of the

Cuba unless tn. duty of 81 is impose

IT seems certain that if Cuba doesn't
restrict her production for the year
1922 only-for there would be no de-
sire to restrict it afterward-the duty
of 50 per hundred will pass both
houses of Congress. President Hard
ing is anxious to avoid this higher
duty and believes it can be done If the
Cubans will do their part In fact,
there is a good chance of the present
duty being reduced to $50 per hum
dred pounds and this duty retained
permanently if Cuba will meet the
il922 emergency. Should Cuba fail to
respond. the President is determined
to take the side of the American sugar
producers. The influence of the agri-
cultural bloc would be exerted In that
direction. anyway, as the beet sugar
business is essentially agricultural
and the farmers are guaranteed

WOULD HAVE AVIATION
OFFICERS PAID ALIKE
Mr.. DENLY Asks for Extra Pay for,
Flying in Navy and Marine
Corps, as in Army.

Legislation that would place all
aviation officers of the Navy and
Marine Corps on the same pay status
as Army flyers was urged by Secre-
tary DENLY in a letter to Speaker
Gillett, yesterday.
Army officers, Irrespective Of rank,
receive extra pay for flying, while
onlyf those in the Navy with a rank
Of commander or under, or in the
Marine Corps with rank of major or
less, received extra compensation, the
Secretary said. 1t was a mistake, he
declared, to deny officers of the
higher rank added pay when they
take risks as aviators and are especi-
ally adapted to the service because
Of their experience.
Mr.. DENLY declared that unless the
discriminatory pay schedule was
abolished valuable officers Of the
higher rank would leave the service
for private employment.
Between January 1, 1919, and No
vember 30, 1921, the Secretary re-
ported, seventy naval officers met
death accidentally, while eighteen
Marine Corps officers were killed in
accidents. The majority of those
killed, he said, were aviators.

soon quite evident that q great many
cows could be placed in the commun-
ity on this plan, but the question of
raising the necessary funds was a
sticker.
1t was finally decided that the
county agent should go before the
Chamber of Commerce of Sedalia and
suggest the plan. He told them what
dairying had done for similar comun-
tiles and suggested that their COM
munity might be made a dairy cen-
ter. They asked whether the farm
er would take the cows, and how
much money it would take. A few
nights later another meeting was
held with the professor of dairy hus-
bandry from the agricultural college.
A tentative contract was read setting
forth the terms. The farmers were
asked if they would take the cows
and the committee was more than
swamped with applications.
An expectancy table was present
ed which showed the number of cat
tie the investors eorld expect to
have at the end of five years. This
showed a profit of about so per cent
on their Investment. besides making
