PROTECTING AMERI-
CAN INDUSTRIES

American producers OF Cuban sug
ar are Directing strenuously to In
crease tariff protection for the Am
erican beet sugar industry.
They attempt to show that the pre-
sent duty OF 800 hundred pound.
Is sufficient to offset the disparity
between cost OF production in Cuba
and American fields and factories.
The fact remains that when dol
lar rate was In effect prior to the
emergency tariff act. American beet
sugar factories were preparing to "a
out Of business.
Naturally, Cuban producers are in
terested In no tariff or one as low
as possible for with cheap Cuban
labor they can outsell any sugar
produced at American wages.
The question IL. does this country
wish to maintain a tariff which will
give American beet sugar producers
an opportunity to develop this indus
try and sell their products at min
imum price equal to that at which
Cuban producers can lay their prod
ucts down on our shores
II is highly essential that we be not
dependent on foreign sup
plies for our sugar and to this end
our American farmers who raise sug-
ar beets and our factories which
must be protected from competition
which they cannot meet at our pre-
sent wage scale. Protecting the
American beet sugar Industry will
n no way prevent Cuba from selling
Ter product to this country for II
PRODUCES the bulk of the sugar crop
II there Is merit in the idea OF
ariff protection to foster and en-
outrage certain lines OF American
industry which need such protection

PRODUCTS which must be thus cared

THE LEAGUE AND AUSTRIA.

The last hope OF an independent

has disappeared. It Is a life-and-
death case that Chancellor Seipel has
brought TO the International Hospital
at Geneva. Tho doctors OF five nations
are In consultation, and by the end
OF the week this patient-country will
know whether II Is to be- continued life
or national death. The League. as
Lord Robert Cecil has said, has never
had major case Tho Leagues
achievements, which he reviewed.
highly crcditable AZ they arc admitted
to be, are minor. Now has come an
opportunity to show skill In a banning
case of first Importance. The best
that can be said at the moment Is that
DR.. Seipel, seems optimistic"
1t u not a simple economic mall
ady. There arc political complications
Ihere Is great surviving
Bureaucracy. There are wounds from
amputations that have not yet healed
and there is a temperament TO be
dealt with which feels miserable
but flnds comfort In wretchedness, .
But X financial nourishment can be
Administered for = year or two, II Is
anticipated that there VIII be strength
to overcome the other ailments. Fail.
ing this aid, dissolution seems certain
either tho falling away OF the re.
naming fragments OF an empire q
the countries that surround Austris
or tho union OF Austria with German,
or the Little Entente, which would b
sinking OF Its own separate existence
In larger sovereignty. The lsttes
would. as DR.. Seipel suggests, prob
ably mean war"
The life OF Austria and the reputa
don OF the League OF Nations Deepen,

serious case. Lord Robert Cecil
ambition for the League is gratitied
1t has before it one OF the greatee
OF international questions. The great
est of physicians. however. have ofte,

OF the delay in bringing the patient
