producing one-fifth of the worlds to-
tai, and as a country almost entirely
dependent upon its sugar crop. Cuba
was the first to suffer from the ex-
cessive world supply and the collapse
of sugar prices. Its first desperate
concern was to retrieve the American
market against the inroads which had
been made by American insular sugar
producers. The United States was the
largest absolute sugar consumer in the
world.
The United States supply of sugar
is derived from three sources: First,
from beet and cane sugar grown in
the States, of which the cane is a
small proportion of the beet; second,
from cane sugar grown in the Philip
pines, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands. and third, from cane
sugar grown in Cuba.
Significant changes have taken
place in the sources of the United
States sugar supply. In the fve-year
period 1922-1926 Cuba supplied 56.2
per cent of all the sugar marketed for
consumption in this country, as COM
pared with only 282 per cent in 1882.
On the other hand, the proportion
furnished by our insular possessions
increased almost uninterruptedly dur
ing a 35-year period from 14.8 per
cent in the period 1897-1901 to AIT
per cent in 1882. In the meantime
the proportion furnished by produc-
ers in the continental United States
has changed but little. being 23.7 per
cent of the total in 1882.
The United States market for Cuban
sugar is, of course, circumScribed by
the historic American policy of main
tanning a tariff for both revenue and
protection Ever since 1789 every
tariff act has afforded protection to
the sugar industry, excepting only the
act of 1890. which admitted sugar
free, but protected domestic produc-
tion through a bounty. In the last
IS years the tariff on sugar has varied
from low of 1856 cents q pound
under the tariff act of 1913 to the
present highest of all rates OF 2.5 cents
pound under the Hawley- -Snott
tarin Of 1880, the Fstes on Cuban
sugar being 20 per cent less In every
instance.

REQUIRE due consideration. The prob

Government is also involved in the
sugar question. as sugar provides about
25 to 80 per cent OF all customs rev.

Brookings Institution, DR.. Philip q.
Wright calculates that the United
States Treasury received in 1882 $l24,-
500 900. or S113 per capita, revenue
from foreign sugar. But the consumer
paid S216, 100000. or Sl97 per capita

things being equal. if there had been

With these figures in mind. DR..
Wright defines the tariff makers
problem as being: How great de-
gree of ineffectiveness it is wise IN
the interest of national f-sufficlency
to protect" The sugar question to be
answered in the United States is: How
much sugar shall we grow in the
United States, how much shall we
purchase from the Philippines, Hawaii,
Puerto Rico and the Virgin ISLANDS,
which are within our tariff wall, and
how much from Cuba? The United
States can, of course, very largely
control its sugar production by means
of its tariff. Aside from economic
considerations. however, there are his
toric and political reasons that In
fairness should enter into any regula-
ton of the United States sugar I'M

from a paragraph in Elihu Roots let

Hawaii's Trade Balance
Placed at $2O,OOO,O 900

HONOLULU -Hawaii's trade bal
ance during 1888 is expected to be
about 10000 900. or roughly 20 per
cent of the entire export trade value.
The five principal sources of income
for Hawaii exclusive of Federal ap-
preparations for local expenditures
are raw sugar. canned pineapple,
coffee, canned tuna and tourists. The
tourist crop" in fact is reckoned as
the third crop" in the islands, with
a 1888 income or value of mere than
$5,000,000. The islands income from
all sources, exclusive of Federal ap-
preparations, will exceed S100,0 100000
for 1888, while the amount OF money
spent for imports is expected to be
around S80,000,000. Thus the islands
have received revenue substantially
larger than the total amounts sent
out of the Territory for goods pur-
chased for consumption here.

United States Principal Customer.
At the time of the Spanish Amer
lean War, Cuba produced about $780,
900 tons of sugar, which was approx
mately third of her previous maxi
mum production. The United States
was then, as she is now, the principal
market for Cuban sugar. In the years

pendence upon sugar is indicated by
the fact the sugar crop yields on the
average about four-fifths of the ma
tional income.
The annual world production OF
sugar at the outbreak of the World
War had reached 20,600,000 short
tons. of which about 81 per cent was
cane sugar and about Al per cent was
beet sugar. The beet sugar fields were
located chiefly in Central Europe, and
during the war these were neglected.
As a result high prices stimulated the
production of sugar cane outside the
war zone. With the end of the war
the sugar demand-actual, potential
and maginary-started sugar growers
in practically all countries, and espe-
cially in the fighting countries. madly

The treatment Of this problem is OF

Since the war Cubas sugar indus

brilliant editor of the Diarlo de la

This illustrates a condition obtain
ing in many basic industries. 1t was
particularly true of sugar and, since
sugar is the commodity upon which
Cuba's economy depends, the sur
feited sugar market of recent years
shook the island to its foundations.
Sugar cane, "the sweet stick OF the
East" is supposed to have been in
digenous to India. 1t did not become
an article of household consumption
until the middle of the sixteenth
century. Almost Immediately Cuba
