character OF Government aid given
them two years ago-pegging the
price. Up to the present the Secre-
tary has remained adamant-no
price pegging, he says, but merely
the purchase Of surplus crops to be
used to help fill the dinner baskets
Of the underprivileged-the unem-
ployed on relief and others who are
receiving some measure Of aid from
the Government.
In the opinion Of the citrus fruit
growers, that kind of aid is entirely
inadequate. 1t fails altogether to
restore confidence. Confidence is q
sine qua non in the business Of
marketing perishable fruits, And
confidence, the Floridians insist,
can easily be restored if the Federal
Governmet will only peg the price"
fix price at which the Government
will take fruit of the hands of the
producers If their market fails.
Such price fixing, the Floridians
say, would Immediately restore
confidence in the market which has
been lacking. Fruit will move, 1t will
sell in large quantities, and the up
shot will be the purchase of a COM
paratively small amount Of these
fruits by the Government-and
what Is purchased can be used for
people on relief.
United in Demand.
About two weeks ago delegations
representing the three great citrus
fruit producing areas Of the coun-
try, Florida, California and Texas,
went to Washington to discuss the
situation with the Secretary. They
united in a demand for a price peg
ging plan. They explained that the
crops were developing in big way,
that there was danger of further
depressed market. Mr.. Wallace,
however, took the view that the
public-the voting public in all the
States-has crouch because of the
New Deal administrations program
Of killing the little pigs several years
ago. He told the delegation, 1t is
reported. that he was through with
the idea of purchasing foodstuffs
and destroying them-as he might
have to destroy some Of the perish
able fruits II the Government guar
anteed to take over all surplus citrus
fruits. He said the voters wouldn't t
back the administration up.
Down here in Florida the growers
are complaining that politics, not
good planning by the administra-
ton, is interfering with effective
Government aid to the citrus indus
try. Florida is . Democratic State,
the only time 1t ever kicked over the
traces and Topped into the Repub-
ucan fold was In 1o28-when 1t
voted not for the G. o. p, but

nominee. There seems no slight

glance, even though many of them

Gen. Wesson keeps his finger on
the trigger Of the IA ordnance dis
tricts, S Government arsenals.
Twenty per cent Of the 10000 900
worth of contracts for new ordnance
material has been placed In the
Pennsylvania district. Gen. Wesson
says that the Ordnance Department
has a practical policy Of standardiza-
ton Of ordnance designs that enables
commercial concerns to manufacture
with equipment now installed. Five
arsenals, employing $4,000 men, are
working at capacity producing tanks
and machine guns for the infantry,
combat cars for the cavalry, limbers
and caissons for the field artillery,
just In case of trouble. Another
boost In the gigantic preparedness
program, which this stalwart general
feels is "the only sure and safe guar
antee Of peace" continues through
the new educational orders.
Gen. Wesson has had practical
and distinguished record. Born in st.
Louis, Mo-, in 1878, he was graduated
from West Point in 1900. Education
did not stop there. Between far
flung details, Gen. Wesson was grad
uated from the Ordnance School Of
Technology, the Army War College.
His ordnance tours" began in 1907.

Florida Citrus Growers RiIed at Wallace
For RefusoI to Peg Prices

to know what they are talking about
say that President Roosevelt is still
very popular with the rank and file
Of the voters all over the State
although they admit there is a con-
siderable group Of the more con-
servAtive variety which does not
care at all for some Of the New
Deal policies.
Florida Democrats have for the
most part stuck faithfully to Roose-
velt and to the New Deal. They
probably would vote for him for 4
third term, although 1t would 20
against the grain for many of them.
The congressional group so strong
which has been spending a week In
Florida at the invitation Of the
Florida State Chamber Of Com
merce and Gov. Fred Cone has indi-
Gated q sympathetic attitude toward
the problems which confront the
sugar planters and the citrus fruit
farmers. They have driven through
miles and miles of orange and
grapefruit orchards.
Great Possibilities,
This is the tiptop Of the State
OF Florida, or very near it, for Just
outside Lake Wakes is Iron Noun
tain, in Mountainlake Reservation,
with an elevation Of 3240 feet. The
very fact that this is the highest
point in the entire State, which
could swallow up all Of New Eng
land except q small portion Of Yer
mont, Is significant. The agricul-
tural future Of the State, II given
freer hand, has almost limitless
possibilities.
The people Of Florida are restive
under restrictions that limit the
State to a production Of about $4,000
tons Of sugar, even less under the
1899 quota recently announced by
Secretary Wallace. This quota is
particularly distasteful to the Flor
idians, because $4,000 tons of sugar
is less than is consumed within the
borders Of the State during the
year.
They see no justice whatever in
any controlled sugar situation which
prevents Florida growers Of sugar
cane from at least supplying the
Florida markets with their products.
Starting with the premise that
American sugar producers, includ-
ing beet sugar and cane sugar pro-
ducers, are permitted to furnish
only about 2,000,0 900 tons OF sugar
to American consumers, although
Americans use nearly 1000, 900 tons
annually, the Florida sugar growers
hold that the Limitation Of Ameri-
can produced sugar merely plays
into the hands Of foreigners. In
more recent days they have pointed
out what has happened to the cot
ton farmers in the United States
since the Government undertook to
curtail rigidly the production of
cotton in this country. For every
pound Of cotton-and they reach
into the millions-that the Ameri-
can production has been cut for
eign countries have produced
pound or more in addition to their
former production. The result, the
sugar people say, has been to aid
not the American producers Of cot
ton but those in foreign nations.

The world sugar problem has been

five years, excluding the United

the voting power in the general con-
