CHAPTER VI-Continued
10

About an hour later, when a party
of six had just harmoniously settled
down to Sundays cold supper there
was an interruption. 1t began with
a ring at the doorbell, but that was
nothing in doctors household; nor
was Meta's appearance a moment
later. What was unusual was the
lowed Meta; the sound of her voice.
For a moment Vic didn't know
the voice at all, or the little tinkle
of high laughter, or the person in
the lace-edged hat and frilly silk
coat, frilly blouse, frilly sweeping
skirts who stood there. Then the
whole world turned upside down and
she got to her feet and tried to
speak, but couldn't hear her own
voice and tried again with better
luck.
''Mother!" she said.
"My dear, the proverbial bad PEN
nyl" Mrs. Herrendeen laughed,
coming in to sit down at the chair
Quentin provided, and looking about
the circle gayly. "Well, you're hav-
ing a party!" she said. She was
introduced, all the voices spoke to-
gether cordially.
''Vic looks astonished, and well
she may!" the newcomer said, be-
ginning daintily on her meal. mo,
no wine, Quentin" she said easily
to the son-in-law she had met only
moment earlier. 'I'll have coffee.
Would I be horrible pest if asked
for hot milk-I've had my coffee
for so long with hot milk that I
can't seem to get used to it any
other way!"
She loosened the frilled coat; Vic
toria noticed with disturbed heart
that her mother, under the first i'm
preston of business, of frippery, in
her clothes, also gave distinct eff
feet of shabbiness.
The group broke up early; they
were all tired, and Magda especially
so. She took possession of Victoria's
one email spare room gayly, OBJ
serving that she did not mind it at
all; her trunks often had to stand
out in the hall. Victoria, suddenly
feeling fiat and discouraged, and
that the long day had been too
much for her, and that it was
formidable thing to be managing a
busy husband, a houseful of chill
dren, five servants, and to be fac
ing besides the prospect of illness
and fresh responsibility, satisfied
herself with only a few weary mo-
ments of conversation with her
mother, as the latter prepared her.
self for bed.
Mrs. Herrendeen assured her
daughter that she would be asleep
in ten minutes and must be awak-
ened in the raorning-"unless some
body'd bring me just the simplest
?"-but Vicky was not so
fortunate. She lay awake most of
the night trying to fit her mother
into her so completely changed life,
wondering what would happen now,
disturbed by hundred vague i'm
pressions and fears of she knew
not what. Her poor faded mother,
so gallant in the 'laces and frills,
the outworn, badly worn finery!
There was no alternative; Mother
must be made guest of honor in
this already crowded house for as
long as she chose to stay. But
even tonight's glimpse of her had
made Vicky feel upset and insure
of herself.
''If had any character l wouldn't
do thisi" she reproached herself.

other limitations imposed because
OF the national necessity for econom-
ical use of our sugar supply. The
retail price of sugar in the United
States for many years before the
World War averaged below cents
per pound, but housewives will recall
the narrow limits placed on sugar
purchases, and even more vividly pay
ing Is and 80 cents per pound.
Sugar is on every table 1t is one
OF the essentials of modern life. 1t
is imperative that we insure to the
American people an adequate and de-
pendable supply of this great neces-
slty under all circumstances, and at
a fair and reasonable price. OF course,
the safest and most dependable source
of supply would be sugar produced
in the Continental United States. It
would seem the part of wisdom that
we not only protect but encourage
American sugar production At the
present time the United States pro-
duces less than a third of the sugar
it consumes.

Sugar cannot be produced as cheap
ly in the United States as in tropical
islands where cheap labor abounds.
If there were neither tariffs nor
limitations upon the Importation of
sugar into the United States our sugar
industry would be destroyed There

and the Philippines could produce
Over 265,000 people are directly

not less than 100000 of our popu-

industry. Over 100000 acres of land
are devoted to sugar beet and sugar
cane production. In addition to the
army of workers directly engaged in
the fields and factories producing the
sugar, there is still larger army en-

to meet our unemployment problem
takes a large burden from our tax
payers.
The people of the United States can,
If they wish, secure cheaper sugar
by allowing unlimited and untaxed
importations Of tropical sugars. BY so
doing they would save in the daily
sugar bill of the average citizen
slightly more than one-half cent
per day. or about 2 dollars per year,
but by so doing they would do in
estimable harm to the American peo-
pie in multitude of ways. In addi-
ton to the destruction of the great
industry itself, they would injure
many millions, farmers, manufac-
turers, business men, workmen on
farms, factories and railroads.
Many Of the articles which are now
produced or manufactured In the
United States can be produced more
cheaply in Asia or Europe, where
wages are lower and living conditions
inferior.
Peril in Foreign Products.
II we admit these foreign products
without tariff or other restrictions we
would have available many things at
costs lower than We now pay, but we
would not have the money to buy
them, as we would find our mills and
factories closed, our workmen unem-
ployed, business demoralized, the
farmer in despair. This would in
eVltably bring lowered wages and liv-
ing conditions, in order to enable our
country to compete. This is, of course,
an unthinkable condition to tolerate,
let alone invite.
The increased cost to consumers re-
sultlng from our established policy of
protecting and encouraging American
manufacturers and producers is far
greater in almost all lines than in the
case OF sugar. 1t has been estimated
that the total increase in cost to con-
sumers by our policy of protecting our
industries is over $4,000, 100000 annu-
ally, but the cost of disseminating this
policy would be many times that
amount in dollars, besides the irrepar-
able and inevitable damage to the
American people from lowered living
standards.
With the purpose of preserving this
great industry, with its great econom-
lc and social advantages, from de-
struction by imported sugars, and
insuring the American people the ben

the sugar industry. AS an illustration,
on an average each acre of sugar
beets contributes $35 to the income Of
the railroads of the country each year.
The sugar industry consumes vast
quantities of iron and steel, copper,
coal, limestone, oil, cotton and other
products of American farms and fac
tories. 1t builds and maintains great
retineries with their complicated and
expensive machinery. 1t furnishes tre-
mendous tonnage to the railroads.
1t pays annually vast sum in
taxes to the Federal, State and local
governments.
The by-products of the industry
contribute greatly to the live stock

Of the National Broadcasting Co.
The measure would continue the
present quota system of dividing do
mestic consumption between cane and
beet sugar producers of continental
United States and off-shore possess
s1ons and Cuba. 1t also would levy a
processing tax of three -fourths of a

bill has been recently introduced in
the Senate by Senator OMahoney Of
Wyoming and myself, and in the
House of Representatives by Congress-
man Marvin Jones of Texas.
This bill, largely drafted by the
sugar section of the Agriculture De-
partment, is in accord with the mes
sage of President Roosevelt delivered
to Congress on February %, 1887. The
bill does not go as far in encouraging
the development of the American sugar
industry as I would like, or as those
engaged in that industry would wish,
but it is the result of the meeting and
compromise of conflicting opinions
and interests and is a decided ad-
vance in the promotion of the welfare
of this industry over any preceding
measure.
Sugar is the only one Of our prin-
cipal agricultural crops of which no
surplus is produced and the American
demand for which must be largely
supplemented by importation. The
sugar problem is also complicated by
the situation in our insular posses
sions and in Cuba.
1t is impossible, therefore, to treat
the American sugar industry in the
same manner as other agricultural
crops.
BY sending to Congress a message
devoted exclusively to sugar legisla-
ton, the President gave recognition
to this fact.
This bill is therefore drawn as a
single independent and complete leg
islative unit, not confusing series
Of amendments to existing or pre-
existing acts. 1t is, further, perma-
nent and not temporary or emer-
gency legislation.
Prior to 1884 the only efforts to
protect the American sugar industry
had been by tariffs. These efforts
had proved futile. The highest tariff
in the history of the industry, enacted
in 1890, was followed by the lowest
Evening star., 1937-03-16

price of sugar and the smallest re-
turn to the sugar beet grower. The
difficulty was that the increased tariff,
by reducing imports OF Cuban sugar,
made sugar production in the Phil
ippine Islands, Hawaii and Puerto
Rico extremely profitable and led to
enormous increases in the sugar pro-
duction of those islands. This sugar,
produced under tropical conditions,
with cheap labor came into the
United States without the payment
Of any tariff. The importation from
Philippine Islands of tax-free sugar
increased in 10-year period from
10000 tons in 1928 to 100000 tons
in 1888. The American sugar indus
try was in imminent peril Of destruc-
ton. The combined effect OF the
tariff and the increased tax-free i'm
portations from our insular possess
sions also brought financial disaster
to Cuba.
The American trade with Cuba was

disappearing and the distressed con-
dition Of the people OF that island
threatened insurrection and rebellion
which could readily spread to other
lands. This was not condition az

it threatened to a substantial degree
the entire United States.
Experience having demonstrated

that the American sugar industry
could not be protected or even survive
