AMMONIA PRODUCTION.

In the year 1922 the production
of .sulphate of ammonia and am
monia in other forms in the United
States is estimated at about 473,-
600 tons from the .by-product coke
ovens alone, according to the latest
|Ul S. Geological Survey reports:
This indicates that with the gas
works output the 1922 total will ex-
coed the figure for 1920, which was
100000 tons, and was the largest
hitherto.
More than half of the sulphate OF
ammonia is used in agriculture as a
fertilizer, most of it as an ingredient
of. commercial fertilizer mixtures.
1t is gradually coming into use as a
top-dressing by itself, however, as
people get to know it better.
The exports of sulphate. of am
monia from the United States in
1922 will amount to considerably
over 100000 tons, most of it going
to Japan. Apparently our present
production is greater than our home
consumption.

THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCiATlON

Charges made in connection with
the gouging Of some 200,0OO0OO
or $50, 100000 from the American
people by stockholders and profiteers
in sugar seem to require explanation
from Secretary Hoover. Before in
vestigating the conduct of others in
%yolved in this scandal, Secretary
Hoover should remove every suspic-
ion that his own official acts were
responsible in large part for the ex-
stortion to which the consumers OF
sugar have been subjected during
the last two months.
Secretary Hoover is simply quib-
bling when he says that the bulletin
issued by the Department of Com
merce did not assert in explicit
terms that there was an impending
shortage Of sugar and thereby as
sist the stockholders, gamblers and
profiteers who have already taken a
heavy toll from every American
household.

The tendency of medical science
is toward preventative measures. 1t
lis easier and better to prevent than
to cure. Pneumonia, one of the
most dangerous diseases, that medi-
cal men have to contend with, often
follows cold or attack of the grip.
The cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the
pneumonia germ. The longer the
cold hangs on, the greater the dan

The statement BY Cordell Hull,
Chairman Democratic National
Committee, issued on March 23 call
ing upon President Harding to di-
rect the Tariff Commission to make
a,report so that he might reduce the
existing sugar duties SO per cent
under the flexible clause of the
Tariff law brought from President
Harding such an order to the Tariff
Commission, including promise
that he would make such reduction
if it was found that the Tariff was
even partially responsible for the
abnormal prices which prevail. The
President, however, took the occa-
sion to state that it was hard to be-
lieve the tariff had anything to do
with the increase in prices.
This statement is at variance with
the entire Republican tariff policy.
The high tariff is imposed for the de-
liberate purpose of increasing prices,
and in the case of sugar was i'm
posed for the specific purpose OF
beneflting the beet sugar interest. A
high tariff opens the door to pro-
iteering, so that prices are pyramid
ed by jobbers, wholesalers and re-
tailers before the highly taxed COM
modities reach. the consumer.
