made in Washington today by the
Farm Administration sugar division
head that Government plans called
for virtual elimination of the domes-
tic industry.
Sugar beet producers may be
crushed, but they will not die an easy
death and the administration will
find the question one Of the hottest
political pokers thst has been
handled for months" warned S. r..
Warrick, president of the Nebraska
Beet Growers Association.
Faith in President Roosevelt was
expressed by Warrick and F. E. Hud-
dleston, president of the wyoming
Montana Beet Growers Association.
II don't believe President Roosevelt
will indorse the sentiments expressed
by Weaver" Warrick declared.
81 still retain much of my conf
dence in the President and I feel he
will not see fit to allow this discrim-
ination against the American pro-
ducer," said Huddleston.
Gov. E. C. Johnson Of Colorado
dispatched a long telegram to the
President, Secretary Wallace and Sem
ator Pat Harrison objecting to the
plan.
At Scots Bluff, Nebr.. Warrick
said:
Beet sugar producers Of the West
don't expect friendly action from
Secretary Wallace. They do expect
it from the President.
"The threatened revolt of the House
will be concurred in and assisted by
a general revolt of beet sugar pro-
ducers In irrigated sections OF the

SUGAR GROUP
TO SEE PRESIDENT
House Members Say Gov
ernment Program Would
Destroy Industry.
BY the Associated Press.

BY tne ASSOCldJeu FTeSS.
Militant opposition to administra-
ton sugar control plans among West
ern Congressman led today to ar
rangements for conference be-
tween them and President Roosevelt
late in the afternoon.
Speaker Rainey made this known
soon after visit to the White House.
Only a few members are to attend
the conference.
Representative Taylor, Democrat, OF
Colorado, will head the protesting
group.
Sugar State Representatives yes
terday appealed to Rainey to get a
conference for them with the Presi-
dent, following testimony before the
Agriculture Committee by Govern
ment officials indicating that encour-
agement to the sugar beet growers
could not be expected from the ad-
ministration.
At the opening of hearings on the
administration sugar bill, A. j. S.
Weaver, head of the sugar division
of the Farm Administration, outlined
plans for hating the expansion OF
the sugar-beet industry.
Under the program the Secretary
of Agriculture would be given broad
powers in setting production quotas,
and this provision, together with the
Presidents recommendation of quota
of 1,994,000 tons for Cuba, as against
LAS, 900 tons for continental United
States were the centers of today's
controversy.
Weaver said the purpose of the
production quotas was to protect grow
ers from "the immediate effect Of call
ing a halt on the expansion Of pro-
tected industry.
He indicated the Governments pro-
gram called for further production
cuts below those recommended in the
present program.
Representative Carpenter, Democrat,
of Nebraska, who was named chair
man Of a committee to confer With
the President on the sugar program
at a caucus last Saturday. predicted
a revolt of House members against the
administration IF President Roosevelt
confirms Weaver's statement that the
domestic sugar business is to be de-
molished."
Representative Cummings Demo
crat, of Colorado, member of the
Agriculture Committee and a beet
sugar farmer, charged at the hearing
that "the object of this bill is to give
us shot in the arm and then ease
us out of business while we are still
unconscious
Weaver answered it was the object
of the administration program to halt
the sugar-beet industry before it be-
came any larger, and he warned that
the disorganized world sugar market
and its low prices might become even
more disorganized if the program were
not adopted.

STOCK SPECIALIST
TELLS OF ACTIVITY
Charles C. Wright Admits
He Made $4,000 in
Alcohol Pool.
Nv the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Charles c. Wright, specialist on the
New York Stock Exchange in Amer.
ican Commercial Alcohol stock, told
Senate Investigators today he per-
sonally made $138,000 in the stock
during pool operations last Spring and
Summer.
Wright was called by the Senate
Banking Committee as an example of
a market specialist profiting from
personal transactions in the stock he
was handling and therefore in a po-
sition to know the inside condition
of the market.
Says Crash Was nightmare"
He contended the sudden crash in
the stock from 1875 to 90 in July
cost him heavily, and was might
mare"
After Wright disclosed his profits,
however, Ferdinand Pecora, commit
tee counsel, commented that the
nightmare wasn't SO bad after all"
Wright testified that stop loss orders
speeded the fall of the stock and
frankly added they were an "evil" In
such a security.
Explaining the operation Of pools,
Wright said that often when they get
started the price is carried by the
public far beyond the plans Of the
pool operators.
1T is carried up by the craze" he
explained.
Referring to the pool in American
Commercial Alcohol, Wright said there
was no effort to manipulate the
security.
He said Thomas E. Bragg, the
trader who operated that pool, was
"the cleanest In the Street"
Pecora asked If he remembered
when the stock went up to 897s on
July Is last Summer.
NEARLY Ruined Me-"
It'll never forget it," Wright said
feellngly. They nearly ruined me
in it,"
He explained that as specialist he
was held responsible for the execution
of every order and in one day lost
S45, 600 or s50,000 attempting to MAIN
tain a market.
Questioned by Chairman Fletcher,
Wright said he lost by trading in the
stock and not as a specialist.
There were times when there
wasn't even a bid" he said earnestly.
"One time I bought 10000 shares at
10 points down from the last sale in
order to make a market and then it
dropped 80 points more"
Wright said there wouldn't be a
market if specialists stopped trading,
that they we're held responsible by the
exchange for gyrations in a stock.

While we are specializing about
the possible causes of dry weather
In our own region, we may note, for
whatever 1t may signify, that In
England they are giving serious
thought to problems caused by fall
ing of the water levels in streams, a
phenomenon that has been develop
ing for couple of years now. That
may be mere coincidence, but on the
other hand it may suggest that con-
ditions affecting a far wider area
than just our group of half dozen
dozen Western states are at work.
1t may be that the areas which now
seem to be particularly wet, not, dry,
such as some parts of the EAST" are
the exceptions, and that either the
whole world or at least the northern
hemisphere is in the dry phase of
long time cycle.
Everybody now knows, Of course,
that radical climatic changes do take
place. That the ice caps at the poles
have advanced and retreated Is
proven by the evidence of our hills
and valleys and lakes and soil. Even
some of the ancients surmised that
there had been great climatic
changes in Europe, by which the cold
in central and northern Europe had
greatly moderated. But these changes
come over such long periods as to
mean nothing to any single genera
ton of men.
Whether there really are definite
cycles, subject eventually to meas
urement, whereby weather condi-
lions vary within relatively brief
period of years-say fifteen-year-
wet to dry cycle or forty-year wet

Chance for Speculation
as to Climatic Changes

to dry cycle-is not yet known. But
there seems reason enough for even
a nonscientific person to suspect 1t.
A hundred years hence, when
vastly greater amount of reliable in
formation about weather happen
ings has been gathered in this
and other countries, 1t may be pos
sible to predict the next swing toward
dryness and the next swing toward
wetness with real accuracy, so far
as any large area is concerned.
Meantime we here in Iowa may rest
on the fact that drastic changes in
climate do not seem ever to come
rapidly, and that several times in
the past this region has known pro-
longed dry spells, only to emerge
again into compensating wet spells.
