A policy of discrimination
against the sugar industry in the
American Territory of Hawaii

Adams sugar bill, Samuel Wilder
King, Hawaiian delegate to Con.

King asserted it is "fundamen.

different category from other
American producers of sugar.
He said:
There may be a need for q
program for control of the sugar
industry, its provisions may re-
Quire quota restrictions, excise
taxes and benefits payments.
But certainly in any special pro-
gram the fact that Hawaii is as
domestic as Louisiana can not

Recommendations for "prohibi-
tive tax" on farmers who produce
in excess of their quotas has been
recommended to congressional
committees by Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace as a means of con-
trolling production, records Of
House Agricultural Committee
hearings revealed today.
The high tax was proposed as a
"laSt resort" in the Secretary'S
ever.normal granary plan. Pro
duction control, Wallace contends,
would be undertaken only If sur
pluses threatened to disrupt farm
prices and income.
Continuance of the present soil
conservation program, crop insur-
ance, commodity loans to enable
farmers to carry over Surpluses
from years Of big yields to lean"
years, and storing of commodities
against years of drought and
flood comprise the first steps Of
the program.

A congressional battle for a
world arms or naval limitation
conference. to be called by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, was shifted to the
Senate today after the House had
approved the $526, 100000 annual
naval supply bill.
Before final House action yes
terday on the measure, a dramatic
attempt was made by Representa-
tive Umstead CD of North caro-
. lima, in charge of the bill, to write
in an amendment requesting Mr.
Roosevelt to call world powers to
Washington to work out a plan
reducing the size of navieS.
Rayburn Steps In
Caught by surprise, the House
apparently was ready to approve
the proposal when Representative
Rayburn of Texas, Democratic
leader, stepped in. He opposed it
on the ground no Administration
officials had been consulted.
1t is expected that the proposal
will be raised in the Senate during
consideration of the measure de-
signed to provide the Navy with
funds to operate next year and to
carry on the expansion program
toward a treaty navy"
While the Naval Appropriation
bill, as approved by the House, con-
tains less than last years amount,
1t was attacked bitterly by spokes-
men for the "Little-Navy bloc" as
inviting war.
Arms Farley Sought
Representative Knutson (R.) of
Minnesota, who appealed to PreSi-
dent Roosevelt to take steps to halt
"a mad race" of nations to arms,
introduced separate resolution
calling for an arms conference.
The House bill carries fourteen
million dollars toward construction
OF two new battleships, estimated
8 to cost sixty million dollars each,
and provides funds to carry on the
naval building program.
Strong House sentiment for an
adequate national defense was dis
played as all attempts to slash the
bill were beaten. A final effort by
Representative Biermann CD, of
Iowa, to reduce the total to four
. hundred million dollars was re-
jected, 257 to 83.
