Various Arguments Upon Sugar Bill
Quota Restrictions Americans In
Competition With Tropics -.

WASHINGTON-Vario arguments were con-
sidered by Roosevelt as he debated with himself
whether to veto the sugar bill or let it ride.
But one argument was not consdered-the
one put up by the continental U. S. refiners
lobby to the effect that well-paid American labor
would be placed in further competition with
low-paid, Sweated, tropical labor if quota retrc-
tonS on territorial Puerto Rican and Hawaiian
refined sugar were not kept in the bill
The government countered this argument by
proposing to insert wage and hour standards
applicable to all sugar refneries under the Amer
lean flag
Lobbyists and their congressional sympathizers
promptly turned that one down. Government
forces explain by saying that if the "sweated
tropical labor issue had been removed, con-
tinental refiners would have been left with prac-
ticaly no argumnt except that they wanted an
effective monopoly
Behind the government strategy related
to the Hawaiian-Puer Rican restrictions was
jerome Frank, brilliant former general counsel
for AAA now practcing law in New York.
He had supervised framing of the present
sugar act but kicked out because he cru
saded too forcefully on behalf of farmers and
consumers as against middle men in food indus
tries. Secretary Ickes and Franks friend, DR..
Ernest Gruening, chief of territories and possess
sons asked Frank to come back.
Frank had been offered huge fees to repre-
sent Hawaiian producers in whose cause he
believed and had turned them down. When
the chance came to do the same job gratis with
no possibility that he could be called lobbyist
SelllllS Ills government experience rTdLk glduly
jumped into the fight on that basis while a
dozen other former AAA worked pro
or con lobbyists for high fees.
The news men and photographers who stood
outside Senate Secretary Ed Halsey's office while
as they learned many hours later-Senator
Hugo Black was being sworn in as a Supreme
Court justice, supposed the notable occasion had
been carefully planned and prepared.
AS matter of fact 1t was only a spur-of-
the-moment idea Blacks part.
Black had come up from his office in the
Senates Education and Labor Committee to
greet and congratulate Mrs. Dixie Bibb Graves
as her husband. the governor of Alabama, hand
ed her credentials as the new senator replacing
Black.
Suddenly Black said:
I'm here, Ed HalSey's here. We're all here.
Why not get to swear me in and let's
get the whole business over right now. I've got
to go to Baltimore to see my boy in the hospital
tomorrow. anyway"
So Halsey telepnoned next door for Charles
F. Pace, for decades the Senate paymaster and
notary public. The job was done promptly.

With the war in China only q
few weeks old, Japanese financiers
and industrialists are beginning to
get a taste of what has long been
considered an inevitable adjunct OF
the next war-control of capital II
not actual conscription.
Okinobu Kaya, japanese finance
minister, made his announcement
innocuously enough, merely inform
ing Japanese business men that the
government finds it necessary to
readjust investment capital.
Kaya explained that this was
done in order to increase funds
available for expansion of NUM-
tions industries and foreign trade.
He further took the sting from his
announcement by assuring finan-
ciers that the government has no
intention of compelling business to
underwrite it's war bonds.

ertheless, that when short time

Bryant Conant, on his visit to California
DR.. Conant believes it should be some
body's job to attract the best brains into
government service. He also believes
this won't happen until stiff competitive
tests put premium upon ability and ex-
ceptional merit, and until such ability
is relatively we'll rewarded. The way to
attract the best brains, he says, "is to
offer them not the security of tenure
behind a civil service protective wall,
but a fair competition for places higher
up. We have too often given our academ-
ic prizes for the laborious accumulation
of credits by mediocre people with reten-
i've memories"
