Proposed Sugar Quota
For Hawaii Attacked

HONOLULU, Hawaii-A dispatch
from Washington that Hawaii's sugar
quota under the proposed crop-restric-
ton plan might. as a gracious gesture,
be increased by $50 tons, has been
received here with mingled incredulity.
amusement and Indignation. This
American territory now produces more
than 1000,0 900 tons of raw cane sugar
a year.
The quota proposed by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture and enviSaged in
the Jones-CoStigan bill is 935 900 tons
The suggestion that. with mainland
beet sugar quotas greatly increased.
Hawaii might be given an additional
ESQ tons has caused sugar leaders
here to believe hat Hawaii Is being
purposely ignored in plans for larger
quotas for domestic producers gen.
orally. L. L. McCandless, Hawaii's
Delegate to Congress, apparently has
not been able to do anything about
an increased quota.
1t Is felt here that on the basis
of the proposed new beet sugar quotas
Hawaii's annual output should be
placed at approximately 900 900 tons.
