States, covering both cane and beet
sugar. and our island Possessions, the
commission finds, are from 200 TO
nearly 900 per cent Of the cost Of
producing Cuban sugar. varying from
about four and one half to about six
and one half cents a pound. The fig
ures indicate that the tariff at the
present time fails to equal the differ
ence between costs here and in Cuba.
Tariff Reduction Unlikely.
For this and other reasons, it is
regarded here as unlikely that Presf-
dent Coolidge, at the conclusion Of
tho investigation. will find a basis
upon which he can apply the fex-
ible provisions Of the law to bring
about reduction in the tariff. On
the other hand, it is thought likely
that the administration will urge
the further expansion Of the sugar
industry In the United States to place
consumers here less at the mercy of
the Cuban producer than at the
present time. This policy was advo-
Gated by Secretary Wallace and other
officials here during the term Of Presi-
dent Harding and probably will be
brought to the fore again by the
present administration.
Among the interested parties"
preparing to present their views to
the commission at it's public hearing
are the beet sugar farmers. The
beet sugar crop, due to tariff pro-
lection, was about 100000, 900 pounds
greater this year than last-a fact
that probably saved the consumer
from much higher sugar prices. than
those which prevailed last spring.
AS soon as the crop was available
the effect Of its competition with
Cuban sugar was seen in failing
prices. The price reductions started
in October and November, as soon as
the beet sugar came on the market,
and prices remained down as long
as beet sugar remained a factor.
At the present time, beet sugar
farmers are receiving guaranteed
prices on the beets, which run
up to about SO a ton. and make
farming profitable in the beet belt.
The farmers, naturally, are opposed
to any tariff reduction which ulti-
mately would lower the price of
sugar beets.

TIME $25, 10000 to be paid Co
lombia by the United States
under the terms of the treaty
agreed upon last year - of
which $1O,000,000 already has been
paid-may be as bread thrown upon
the waters, for the payment of the
first $5,000.000 installment little
| more than year ago was con-
tributing factor in bringing about a
complete reorganization of Colom-
bias fiscal system, which bids fair
, the most prosperous of the Latin
| American republics.
This reorganization was brought
about by an American mission of
| financial experts, selected by the
J State Department, which has re-
| turned to the United States with
| glowing accounts not only of it's
own success but of the bright future
| which awaits Colombia and the great
| increase in trade relations with the
! United States which will be brought
j about directly by Colombia's wise in
vestment Of the funds which this
J country is now paying her.
| When Colombia was assured Of the
| funds provided under the treaty with
! the United States she straightway
! began planning how to spend the
/ money to the best advantage, and
| found strong national sentiment in
| favor Of investing the entire amount
| in comprehensive program for
public works, with railroad con-
| struction predominating. But before
| entering on this program the gov
| ernment sought to have its entire
II Grn 1.r r. DC.
! and after some discussion requested
| the United States for a financial mis-
| sion of advisers to assist her in bring
| Ing this about.
Members of Mission.
The mission from the United States
was composed of Prof. Edwin Walter
Kemmerer of Princeton University,
chairman; Howard NJ. jefferson of
| the New York Federal Reserve Bank
| DR.. Fred r. Fairchild, professor of
political economy at Yale University;
| Thomas r. Lii, certified public ac-
| countant, and DR.. Frederick B. Lu-
| QUEENS, professor of Spanish at Yale
| The mission found Colombia taking
| it's problem very seriously and
anxious to profit from advice. A spe-
! cial session of congress was con-
/ Vened, special commissions were ap-
| pointed from Colombia's fourteen
| departments to assist in the work
| and as soon as the financial mission
] prepared and proposed legislation con-
1 gress enacted it into law.
The result was that in less than a
| year Colombia has brought about
1 more far reaching changes in her
! financial system than any country
ever attempted in a much longer
\ period. The new laws have placed
| Colombian currency upon the gold
| standard, they have given her new
general banking law which con-
! forms to the best modern practices
| in the United States and Europe. A
| system of banking super vision and
! control, closely modelled on the New
| York state law. has been put into
effect. Colombia was given, with
| some modification, what is known as
the American uniform negotiable in
struments law. now in operation in
forty-five American states. the Dis
trict of Columbia, Hawaii and the
Philippines. A new bank of central
issue has been created with an au-
, thorized capital Of s10,000.o00 and
a paid-up capital at present of some
thing like 5000, 900 in gold.

Huge Profits ON Cuban Sugar
. Shown by Tariff Board Data

The average cost Of production Of
the Cuban sugar that went skyrock-
citing in American markets last
spring was 2.15 cents a pound, laid
down at the mill in Cuba, according
to preliminary figures covering So per
cent of the total 1922 crop, compiled
by the Tariff Commission.
In addition, the commission states,
the cost of marketing this sugar
amounted to slightly more than one
sfth of a cent a pound. It is assumed
that that figure covers transportation
to New York. the chief port Of entry
The duty of 1.76 cents a pound, i'm
posed under the tariff act, would
bring the total cost Of raw Cuban
sugar, laid down in New York, up to
about AS cents pound. According
TO the commissions figures, the cost
OF refining sugar Is placed at / cent
D pound, making the total cost Of re-
fined sugar slightly in excess of 8
cents a pound. This compares with
T. selling price that varied between 8
and IL cents a pound, approximately.

Months Investigation.
The commissions figures have been
gathered after many months of in
hestigation. They have been compiled,
she commission asserts. for tho pur-
s,ose of assisting the President in as
Of production Of sugar in the United
States and In tho chief competing
countries" The figures will be used
at q public hearing January Is next,
when tho Tariff Commission will hear
the views Of interested parties on the
edvisability of reducing the present
tariff on sugar.
The hearing will be the first to be
held by the Commission where a
commodity of general. everyday use
Is involved. There has been consid-
erabIe agitation for q reduction in
the tariff on sugar but the tariff COM
snission determined for the late Pres
adent Harding early last summer that
the tariff had no connection with the
sensational increase in prices and
the commissions decision was an
bounced at the White House at the
time.
It was pointed out by the commits
efon at that time that the price Of
sugar varied, almost over night, to
y greater degree than the entire tar
tff change brought about by the op-
eration of the new tariff law. Since
then, however, the commission has
been making thorough study Of
sugar production at home and abroad
10 ascertain If production costs have
materially changed, for it is only on
'rhat basis that the President and tho
Ncommission can act.
