TARIFF ON SUGAR
SHIPMENTS URGED
BaItimorean Claims Heavy
Imports From Cuba Affect
Refinery Operations.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


BALTIMORE, April 30-Receipts of
100000 pounds of refined sugar from
Cuba through the port of Baltimore
during the past two weeks provides a
serious menace to domestic refiners and
will be felt at the Sl5,000,0 600 plant of
the American Sugar Refining Co. here,
according to an official of the COM
pany.
The local refinery, he said, loses prac-
tically a pounds worth of business for
every pound Of refined sugar imported
from abroad The Cuban sugar, under
the provisions of the 1880 tariff law,
pays no additional duty.
This amount of sugar is enough to
supply 20 per cent Of the requirements
of Baltimore for one year.
Last year 131, 100000 pounds of re-
fined sugar were imported through this
port, displacing corresponding volume
Of refining operations here, according
to Richard Monlmers, general superin-
tendent of the plant.
The tariff now in effect, it was ex-
planned, permits the importation Of
refined sugar at $2.12 the 100 pounds.
whereas raw sugar enough to manu-
facture 100 pounds of refined sugar in
Baltimore draws a duty of $2.14
But it is not the 2 cents difference
alone that is giving concern to refiners
in this country, it was stated. The
Cuban refiner has the advantage of
cheap tropical labor a lower investment
and lower overhead.
Hundreds of men have been thrown
out Of employment because of the influx
of refined sugar from Cuba, it was said.
Many of those who are working are
operating on shorter hours and several
refineries have been shut down.
In addition TO all this, it is pointed
out the Cuban refiners have another
big advantage. Freight must be paid
by the Baltimore plant on sugar brought
here to be refined. Additional freight
must be paid when the finished prod
uct is shipped to destination To many
of the latter places along the coast the
Cuban refiner pays but one freight bill.
During the year 1881, when 13l ,000,-
600 pounds Of refined sugar were i'm
ported here, the melt OF raw sugar by
the Baltimore refinery showed a loss
of 20.19 per cent, ta>Sng TIE period of
1925 to 1928, inclusive, as a base. ac-
cording to figures submitted to the
Tariff Commission by Ralph S. Stubbs,
vice president Of the American Sugar
Refining Co. - FRQ
He pointed out that unless the food
of refined sugar from abroad is checked
by proper readjustment of tariff rates.
the domestic sugar industry faces
disaster.
On top Of all this, 1t was asserted,
the Government is considering plan
whereby $4,000 long tons of Philippine
refined sugar may be admitted duty
free into the United States.

credit flowing from the Federal Reserve
to the banks was reviving demand from
the latter for corporation securities.
This weeks prices tell different story.
The explanation may be that the banks
were primarily interested in the new
Government short term loans of $450,-
000,0 for which they made subscrip-
tions amounting to 81 100000, 900.
The Reconstruction Corporation is
absorbing Treasury funds rapidly. It
Is again pertinent to inquire why the
Government does not float public loan
at rate of interest that will attract
cautious buyers and provide, through
this medium, for assistance to distressed
corporations and institutions rather
than by piling up load of Govern
ment debt, Debentures of the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation, guaran-
teed by the credit of the United States
and carrying a rate of interest between
3l2 and per cent, should, If properly
promoted, prove an attractive medium
of investment at a time when boarded
money is coming back into the banks
and there Is a sense Of insecurity among
those who hold all but the very highest
grades of corporation stocks and bonds.
II is not healthy or q desirable con-
dition for the banks of the country to
be the only important participants in
each new Government loan. AS they
increase the ratio of their earning
assets in Government paper. at time
when their deposits are decreasing, it
Is obvious that the percentage avail
able for the normal business needs of
the country will steadily diminish. On
the other hand forcefN appeal to the
public to subscribe to a Government
loan might rekindle some of the
patriotism that has been dissolved by
the n1aterialistic era since the war.

STOCKS END WEEK
Ill IN UPWARD TREND
), Market Closes Steady After
Sinking Spell During
First Hour.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, April 3o.-The stock
market ended April, another month of
declining prices, with a leveling-off
tendency today.
The list showed signs of sinking fur
ther into new low territory during the
first hour, then recovered and f1uctuated
narrowly in the late trading, closing
with numerous gains of fractions TO
point or so.
The turnover for the two-hour session
was under half a million shares, but
the closing tone was steady Brokerage
quarters felt that the market was so
sluggish that it was difficult to draw
any conclusions from its action, save
in so far as it reflected abatement of
the selling Of the past two sessions.
Some of the rails were heavy, but
tldustrtals and utilities were mainly
firm. Among issues rising about point
were Bethlehem Steel Borden, Allied
Chemical, Loews and Coca Cola, while
fractional advances appeared in U. S.
Steel, American Can, General Motors
National Biscuit, North American and
others. American Telephone was barely
changed.
Railroad securities were somewhat
unsettled by the order of the Interstate
Commerce Commission requiring the
Frisco Railroad to effect a reduction in
fixed charges before approving a recon-
struction loan. This was interpreted
as forcing voluntary reorganization of
the company, with a receivership as the
alternative
The situation Of the Frisco Railroad
has been well understood in financial
quarters, and the forcing of a volun-
tary reorganization was supported in
some quarters as a more permanent
and consequently more desirable solu-
ton of its problems than merely carry
ing it along with public funds.
Most of the rail stocks held about
steady, but Santa Fe slid back couple
of points, and Union Pacific. New York
Central and Pennsylvania from frac-
tions to point.

CLOWNS To VIE
! WITH SANTA.
At KEITH'S

What is going to interest the
hundreds of children most at the
Fourth Annual Orphans Christ
mas Party given by the Carrier
Boys of The Washington Times
next Saturday morning at the
RKOKeith Theater-the happy
clown or Santa Claus?
Both will be there-Frank
Portillo, who knows how to please
the youngsters with comical
antics, and Santa Claus who loves
all the children and tries to make
them all happy.
RKO-Keith's will have special
program of comic films arranged
for the Carrier Boys guests and
Santa Claus will see to it that
each one receives q bag of
candies, fruits and nuts which
are so necessary to real
Christmas.
The RKO-Keith party is for
the white children. At the Lin
coin Theater a duplicate party
will be given for colored boys
and girls. There, too, goodies
will be given by Santa Claus and
q special program shown. Both
parties beginning at 10 o'clock in
the morning.
The Potomac Food Distributors
Association of Southwest is CO.
operating with the Carriers in the
matter of fruit and nuts, and
every department store in the
city has helped with toys.
Transportation will be furnished
to and from the theater by the
Diamond Taxicab Company, with
every other company in this line
ready to aid if they should be
needed. Through the help of
the various business houses and
the RKO-Keith Theater, these
parties both promise to be the
greatest ever held for the city's
unfortunate tots, by The Times

Franco-German Equality

Germanys latest threat in her struggle to throw off the crippled status in which she has been left by the Versailles treaty, is to organize and train a"youth militia of 3,000,000 men. This is her reply to French insistence on holding her to an army strength of 100000. France may as well recognize that she can no more continue lim- iting German military preparedness than she can continue collecting German separations. A beaten nation has rebelled against the conqueror, and there is not much that the eonqueror can do about it. To send another French army into Germany would be futile, and would antagonize the sentiment of the civilized world.
 France remains strong in arms, leader of the worlds militarism. Germany obviously fears France as France lately feared Germany. The German claim for equality in arms, absurd as it would have seemed decade ago, finds much sympathy or tolerance in world opinion. If it is unreasonable. how is anyone to convince the Germans of that fact? And in the end, they are the judges.
 Probably the only way France can hold down German armament is by reducing French armament. It is French arms. not German arms that hold the biggest present threat to the worlds peace and good will. Great armies on both sides of the Rhine would mean inevitably another war, possibly another World war. If France could bring herself to accept the equality principle, and then limit German armament by limiting her own, there would be some hope of real disarmament all around.

regard as do the democrats. It is perhaps beneficial for this probate district that it has virtually been removed from politics. The same thing holds true in many of the other larger cities of the state. particularly New Haven and Hartford. The judges of probate there are not regarded as ofiee-seekers nor as dispensers of political patronage. but as men of high standing in their community and unimpeaehable character. And that is as it should be-
 The younger generation in this city has come to think of Judge Slavin not in terms of democrat or republican but as the real representative of the people in an exacting position. one for which all men of the legal profession are not qualified. Perhaps some day the office of judge of probate will be made appointive in order to remove it from the realm of politics, so-ealled. We hardly think. though, that in Connecticut our ap- pointive positions are linked less frequently with politics than elective ones. We think that districts like Waterbury which return judge like Dennis J. Slavin to office by bi- partisan endorsement have solved the prob lem of separating the office from politics.

A Book a Day
Oratory Made Him a Power
 in Political Life
by BRUCE CATION

The great political battles of the days of Bryan, Roosevelt and Wil-' son live again in "Beveridge and the Progressive Era" by Claude G. Bowers, and the late Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana gets his just dues as an uncom- monly able and devoted statesman.
 Beveridge was first and fore- most an orator. He paid most of his way through college by win ming oratorical contests. He pro- jected himself into politics, after graduation, by his speeches.
 Going to the senate while still young, he soon lined up with the progressive group, fought val- antly for Roosevelt measures while the latter was president, stood out against Taft after T. R. retired, and became one of the most ef- fective campaigners in the Bull Moose fight of 1912.
 MT Bowers studies his career in detail and offers some fascinating sidelishts on his associates. He is caustic in his discussion of Taft. for instance, and he leaves Roose- velt's activities following the 1912 campaign looking less admirable than Roosevelt's admirers will like; and he presents about as intelligent and far-reaching a summary of the whole progressive movement as you can find anywhere.
 Also, he shows that Beveridge himself contained many of the ele- ments of real greatness. All in all. I doubt if the year will pro- duce a better biography.

The Real Purpose

There can be no doubt after reading the various accounts of the recent convention of the independent republicans of this state that the intent is to defeat certain candi- dates on the regular ticket. There can be no hope of success for Professor Levitt and his cohorts at the polls this fall But if the election of Senator Hiram A. Bingham of New Haven is prevented, We think that the Bedding man and his party will call their undertaking complete victory. But will it be SO? Isn't Representative Augustine Lon- ergan of Hartford, the democratic nominee for senator, as wet as Senator Bingham! And isn't this the prime reason for the anti Bingham movement in g,o.p circles!
 Perhaps we are wrong in our conclusions but we certainly can't conceive of Professor Levitt allying himself with various dry or ganizations except for the sole purpose of unseating the urbane MT Bingham. There is admittedly little chance of Professor Mill ton Conover. political science instructor at Yale University. being elected to the Senate. Yet both Professor Levitt and Professor Irving Fisher. the noted economist. permitted Professor Conover to get the sena- torial nomination. Perhaps they are bit squeamish about crossing lances with Senator Bingham through the medium of votes. although Professor Levitt has repeatedly tried to inveigle the former to meet him in debate on the platform.
 Personally we believe that though Pro- lessor Levitt thinks democrats and republl- cans of Connecticut are dyed with the same brush. the former constitute the lesser of two evils. Hence his efforts this fall will be to draw votes from the republican candi- dates and permit the democrats to triumph once again and thus make the Cross regime of the state more complete. On the strength of the ticket adopted at New Haven last week the dry independents can't hope to secure too many votes In fact. they are apt to run last in the contest this fall with Norman Thomas and his socialistie friends polling many more ballots. But if Professor Levitt can convert sufficient dry votes to his cause. he will earn the undying gratitude of the over-worried democrats of the state.

Mayor Buckingham of Bridgeport has just inaugurated the city's most drastic economy program. Foremost on the list of economics was the diseontinuanee of telephone service in the homes of city employees paid by the city. One of the first acts of the Hayes ad- ministration was to strike of the list of free telephones that the city was paying for each month. New Haven did the same thing not SO many months ago and saved itself pretty penny annually. There is no reason why any city should supply such service and certainly in these hard times penny saved is dollar earned.

Washington One of the mos
 notable features of this politica
 campaign is the circumspectior with which the speakers art choosing their audiences and limit ing their messages to the mos,
 suitable areas.
 Many of our citizens are this year possessed of deplorable dis. position to hcckle and even to lend themselves to whole-hearted ren. ditions of the lusty boo and the
 Bronx cheer.
 So an unprecedented number oi political speeches are being made in the sheltered surroundings o1 rallies, clambakes and garden par. ties for which invitations are linn ited to the faithful while the gen. eral public depends on the reports in the next days newspapers. You can heckle a newspaper report, o1 course, but the results are not satisfactory.
 Governor Roosevelt began the campaign by coming right into the convention hall to accept the nom ination. Although it was a demo. cratic gathering and he received
 no razzberries, he really took I chance, considering the splendid booing his cause had received al earlier sessions.
 MT Hoover accepted renomina- ton before an exclusive audience of 4,00O republican admirers, most ly official, in Constitution Hall The bonus army, which might have picketed, had been carefully chased out of town. All potential ,hecklers were outside. The presi- dent will suffer little or no ex- posture to hecklers this year.
 Roosevelt must make more crowd appearances, but when he went to Connecticut where Al Smith fecl- ing is especially strong. he spoke to
 2,50O democratic politicians and their friends in pavilion while 10000 ordinary persons heard him through loud speakers on the beach. No platform appearance before the multitude.
 His speech on prohibition at Seagirt before democratic har- mony meeting was, according to the republicans, carefully circu- lated only through the wet eastern states.
 The seasons most effective boo ing was administered to Assistant Secretary of War F. Trubee Davi- son when he attacked the charac- tcrs of the evicted bonus march CTS in. a speech to the New York American Legion.
 Political speeches of that type were quickly abandoned and when Secretary of War Pat Hurley de- cided to attend the American Le- Eion's national convention at Port land to defend the president II necessary against any vote oi cen sure it was emphasized and re- emphasized that he wasn't repre-! senting the administration. Pat seemed to be heading into an espe- cially loud booing and the1thoughs was that this mustn't be consid- cred directed at Mir Hoover. Pats availability as a campaign speaker began to be questioned af- ter his famous long statement about the B. E. F. had been laughed full of~holes. He went to Providence and made an undis-
