to see that this tariff protection is not
torn down.
These facts must not be taken to in
dictate, however, that there will he nc
advance in the price of sugar. Sugar
today is selling relatively lower than
any other food product That Is, it has
advanced to a lesser degree as com
pared with pre-war years than any
other general article of food. What
these facts do mediate, however, Is
that any advance will be held within
moderate limits and that there will
be no runaway market engineered by
foreign interests.
This has a vital bearing on all the
inhabitants of the United States since
each person in this country has con
sumed approximately Ill pounds OF
sugar in the last year. 1t is expected
that every man, woman and child viii
account for at least 1872 to ia
pounds in 1928. The consumption gain
has risen steadily from 1854 ,479 tons
in 1924. to 5,671,S35 tons in 1925. AS
yet. of course, the total 1927 tonnage
can only be estimated.

LARGER j. S. SUGAR
OUTPUT IS PLANNED
Domestic Producers Expect
to Meet Cuban Restriction
That Way.
BY J. C. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch 10 Inc star.
NEW YORK, December 21.-Presi-
dent Machado of Cuba is expected In
the next few days to sign decree
permitting the Cuban sugar mills to
start grinding on January Is. At the
same time 1t is also probable that he
win announce that under the powers
conferred on him. Cuban production
for the crop OF 1927 and 1928 will be
restricted to 100000 tons.
1t can he announced authoritatively
today that the domestic sugar pro-
ducers of America are mot aligned
with the movement of Cuba and other
foreign countries to restrict the pro.
duction of sugar throughout the world
and thereby to raise prices. The
cane sugar producers of Hawaii,
Louisiana and Porto Rico and the beet
sugar producers of the Middle and Far
West are not interested, according to
their leaders. In the agreement which
has been tentatively arrived at be-
tween Cuba and some other producing
nations, for the restriction of output.
Against Output Restrictions.
The domestic producers have seen
no reason why they should restrict
production and are firmly determined
not to do so. In fact. they are prac-
tically certain to increase production.
even though they do not increase
acreage. This is especially true of the
Louisiana. Hawaiian and Porto Rican
cane growers. The leading factors i'm
the Hawaiian field anticipate increas-
ing their yield 20 per cent. without
the planting of additional acreage.
The introduction of the new Poi
canes in Louisiana has brought the
most astonishing results in increasing
production. Cane has been produc-
ing at the rate of from 25 to 40 tons
to the acre, with the sugar contents
as high as 1875 pounds to the ton of
cane. Last years cane production
averaged ST tons to the acre, with an
even greater drop in sugar content.
Corresponding gains have been made
in other sections through the use of
improved varieties and new methods.
These facts give an indication of Sc
curity and stability to the sugar
market which is gratifying to con-
sumers, who feel that they will not
he at the mercy of Cuba and other
foreign growers.
