Of Cuban costs and may establish an
entirely new method of procedure in
figuring future costs, with profound
effect on the future of the American
sugar industry.
Cost Figures Padded.
Briefly, the contention is made that
the reputed costs gathered by the CON-
mission so far as Cuba is concerned,
are not costs at all, but are loaded
with heavy profits to the Cuban
growers, and, for that reason should
not be considered. If the contention
prevails the commission will have to
compile new figures on an entirely diff
ferent basis.
The commission gathers its figures
in the United States, Hawaii, Cuba
and Porto Rico for the purpose of de-
termining price differences. .u,,an
producers. on account of the fertility
of their fields, the climate, cheap la
Dor, and other factors produce sugar
much cheaper than it can be produced
in the United States and its posses
sions. A tariff duty of 1.76 cents
pound, imposed under the Fordney-
McCumber act, is designed 10 .naDle
producers under the American flag to
meet Cuban competition which they
claim they could not do otherwise.
What the tariff commission wants
to learn is whether the 1.76 cents
protection is too great. Upon its find
ings it will make recommendations to
the President who is authorized under
the flexible provisions Of the tariff
law to readjust the tariff, up or down,
by a maximum of so per cent. If the
protection it too great-that is, if the
cost of production in Cuba is not
L76'cents a pound less than it is in
the United States, Porto Rico and
Hawaii-the tariff could be lowered
to minimum of about seven-eights
of a cent pound. The President.
not the commission, however, would be
the final determining authority.
Cuban Costs Up 100 Per Cent.
Figures introduced by refiners of
Cuban sugar before the commission
this week show the cost" of produc-
ton to have increased in Cuba by al
most 100 per cent between December.
1922, and May, 1928. These figures
cannot be compared with similar fig
ures from any American field, it is
claimed, because such data has not
been obtained. 1t is charged also that
they represent only small proportion
of authentic Cuban figures.
The Hawaiian producers in a brief
filed by Royal ID. Mead and in tes-
timony given BY W. Jeatt Lauck,
economist, attack these figures. claim
ing that while they are alleged to be
the cost figures, in reality they con-
tain the entire profits accruing to the
growers of sugar in Cuba. Cuban
growers and mills, they claim, are

Selection Of Judge Curtis E. Will
bur as the successor to Edwin DENLY
as secretary of the Navy meets gen.
erous well wishes ut the hands of
American editors. Judge Wilbur's fit
ness for the position is very gener-
ally accepted. There is, however,
some difference of opinion as to the
motive that impelled President Cool
idge in the selection. Some editors
call it good political strategy, while
others look upon it as devoid of poll
tics and the wise selection of a good
man to fill a position which right
now is in decidedly bad repute.
"The good wishes of the country, A"
will 60 with Judge Wilbur into the
Department of the Navy" and adds
doubtless his appointment has its
political significances. Most appoint
ments do. In its larger aspects, how
ever, it will be taken rs a recogni-
ton of the vital interests of the Ia
cific coast in the United States
navy"
At variance with this political view
the Wilkes-Barre Record says JUS
tice Wilbur is not a political choice.
Mention of his name suggests no un-
derground motives Of the kind that
sometimes influence high appoint
ments." While the Butte Miner de-
clares "his appointment is sure to
please good many Californians and
to very marked extent may help the
Coolidge campaign there"
An UInimneachahle RecOrd
The new secretary will strengthen
the cabinet, in the opinion of the st.
Paul Pioneer Press, which says "hc
is an able man with an unimpeach-
able record, free from associations
with the wing of the party which has
been discredited by the oil scandal"
To this thought may be added the
Manchester Unions suggestion, "the
navy just now needs a friend. Judge
Wilbur should be admirably fitted to
fill the role"
In an editorial ardent in its praise
of the retiring secretary the Grand
Rapids Herald, of Mr.. Denby's own
state, concludes that the first csbi-
net vacancy President Coolidge has
had to fill is particularly significant
fthe type of cabinet Coolidge would
desire. 1t is to be hoped that he may
shortly have the opportunity for con-
tinuing demonstration through the
choice of new attorney general"

wife and the average man-an in
quiry by the tariff commission into
the relative costs of producing sugar
under the American flag and in Cuba,
chief source of our supply.
The inquiry was directed into the
costs of sugar during the period n year
ago when the rising price of the
Cuban product, dominating domestic
markets, shot to such heights that
the government took legal action de-
signed to end the alleged profiteering.
When numerous factors, including a
generous yield Of domestic cane and
beet sugar, plus supplies from Porto
Rico and Hawaii, toned down the
price to average reach, pubic in
terest waned. It is an unusual tes-
timonial to public memory that the
present inquiry, touching prices then
under hot fire. has received virtually
no mention whatever.
For that reason. perhaps, there has
been overlooked thus far the injection
into the inquiry of factor that tends

judicial position ain order to take
plunge in the turmoil and complexi-
ties at the national capitol was Of
itself a great sacrifice" on the part
of Judge Wilbur, according to the
Portland Express and Advertiser,
which adds that he "had little to
gain in prestige by his change and
much to lose of peace and comfort"
The fact that Judge Wilbur is a
graduate of the naval academy while
generally accepted as adding to his
fitness for the new post is not con-
sidered by many editors rs important
as his ability as lawyer and a jur-
list. "At this time" says the New
York Times "the fact need not be en-
phasized that a secretary learned in
the law will be welcomed by the coun-
try and by the United States navY.
To that qualification the merit of an
understanding of the spirit and tradi-
tons is added in Judge Wilbur's
case"
Is Test Of Coolidge.
"The appointment is good one,"
says the Buffalo News, at ought to
satisfy even the administration .baiters
in Congress" With less assurance,
the New Orleans Times Picayune says
1.-The choice seems wise one, though
of course Judge Wilbur's service as
cabinet officer will constitute the
final test. In a very real sense,
President Coolidge's ability to select
counsellors of the right quality and
equipment is on trial before the coun-
try"
The Norfolk Ledger Dispatch sees
in the appointment a wise, selection.
1.-The navy ITSELF it declares will
welcome man who was we'll ground
ed in its traditions during four years
at Annapolis, and the versatility, ex-
perience and standing Of Judge Viii
bur should tend to restore public con-
fidence, shaken need.cssly in many
respects by scandal and rumor."
A high estimate of his character and
ability from his own state is Express
ed by the Pasadena Star News which
says "Judge Wilbur is splendid
type of man for cabinet service. He
has the ability to discharge onerous
and delicate duties meritoriously. And
his character would give the country
assurance of uncompromising honesty
in all his official action, with fidelity
to the interests of the neople and
alertness and faithfulness in the per-
Torrance of every official duty.
