Chance for Rich Americans
To Get Titles and Parents

The recent insertion in a New York
paper of an advertisement in which an
unnamed European princess" offered
to adopt some person Of 'unquestioned
reputation" and possessed of the finan-
cial qualifications that should go with
an ancient and exalted title is Amer
ica's first introduction to a graft that is
providing many member of the i'm
poverished German aristocracy with

In Germany this sort of thing has
been going on for several years. Ever
since the decline of the mark wiped out
the funded fortunes of the German
nobility the adoption of social climb
ers," who long for the coveted en-
noblins particle won before their
names, or desire to adorn their cards
with a title. has provided a steady in

If properly adopted. No matter how
humble your origin. or in how plebeian a
calling you made your money, you can
become noble-if you have the price
It's quite touching in its new-found
devotion: the foster parent of perhaps
twenty five years taking under his pa
ternal wing fat ''schieber" of perha ps
nifty. whose wife has suddenly acquired
d hankering for social glory.
The foster child likewise acquires a
responsibility toward his new-found
parent. How could it be otherwise,
when name. title. rank and family have
just been conferred upon him? And as
the problem of making both ends meet
he's to face. the overwelling gratitude,
quite naturally. takes the form of a
substantial sum of foreign money. For
no German wants German money
To become merely noble is fairly in
expensive. A title like Graf or Freiherr
is more expensive. The cost of ac-
quiring princely rank mounts up into
money
Most of the nobility, of course, would
not stoop to such a procedure. What
ever its faults, the German nobility is
proud. Only the weaker brethren sell
their birthrght.
And now the game is being intro
duced here. To be sure, the object of
stipulating wealth in the present case,
attorneys for our unnamed princess tell
us, is merely proper desire to make
certain that the obligations of the fos-
ter chld'S newly acquired social posi-
ton will be properly discharged. A
cynic, however. might suggest that

Holds Sugar Price Changes
Acquit the Tariff of Blame

New York price of refined sugar made
from imported raws ranged from 21.5
to 26.5 cents per pound. Producers
of sugar in Cuba had waxed rich be-
yond the dreams of avarice. but their
cupidity knew no bounds Our sugar
bins were empty. the canning season
was approao hing and there was not
enough left of the domestic beet
sugar to supply the market and sta
bilize the price as it does for several
months every year. The 100000 tons
of unsold sugar in Cuban warehouses
appeared to be the only surplus stock
in the world. Under these conditions.
with the United States duty of only
! cent per pound. American and other
producers of sugar in Cuba met in
Havana on June 80 and formed a
combination. under the terms of
which they agreed not to sell US or
any one else another bag of raw
sugar at less than "a cents per pound
f. o. b. Cuba.
Break Cuban Combination.
This action so stirred our govern
ment that il secured the world and
found and brought in enough sugar
to break the Cuban combination. But
Notwithstanding this. our 1920 for
eign sugar bill amounted to the
which amount s66S.9021O3 went to
producers of sugar in Cuba. All this
under a 1-cent duty on sugar. Free
sugar or a low enough rate of duty
to put our domestic sugar industry
out of business would destroy the only
safeguard against the eXtortion
which these producers in foreign
countries. unrestrained By our anti
trust laws. can practice throughout
the year without fear of serious con-
sequences.
The extra $500. 100000 which. in
1920 the producers of sugar in Cuba
wrung from US over and above the
average pre-war price of their prod
uct was an amount sufficient to erect
a string of 400 beet and cane sugar
factories. which would supply us with
4 0O0. 900 tons of sugar annually, every
pound of which would be produced
and marketed subject to all of our
antitrust and trade regulatory laws
which forbid pools, combinations and
extortion. 1t would prevent future
sugar gougeS, render us independent
of the world for great staple food

ploiters to the pockets of American
