NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 22.-Charles
A. Farwell, spokesman for the Amer
lean Sugar Cane League, today urged
an upward revision in the ceiling
price on sugar to encourage larger
production in the United States,
which now grows only about 30
per cent of annual requirements.
FarWell said that far from being
assured of an ample sugar supply for
1912, this country faces a possible
shortage, if we attach. any impor-
tance to the Japanese threat
production for 1912 depends upon
conditions over which we have little
CONTROL" FarWell said in a state
ment.
If the shipping situation in the
Pacific remains critical, or becomes
worse, there is every likelihood that
we will get no sugar whatsoever
from the Philippines and greatly
curtailed supply from Hawaii. Or
dinarily we count on these two areas
for about 100000 tons annually.
of course a war with Japan,
which is far from being beyond the
realm of possibility would have the
practical effect of absolutely blocking
the Philippine supply of sugar and
almost all of the Hawaiian sugar

Higher Sugar Ceiling Urged
To Expand u. S. Production
Sugar Cane League Spokesman Warns Presen,
Supply Depends on Pocifc Shipping

Farwell said the present ceiling
price, $50 cents pound. "is not
high enough to encourage or permit
the needed expansion of the domes-
tic industry
He added that "if public opinion
permits the retention of the present
price ceiling indefinitely. the domes-
tic sugar INDUSTRY will be throttle5
and the additional supply of sugar
needed from the Western Hem
isphere will be mostly furnished by
Cuba, which enjoys a lower pro-
duction cost, owing to the miser-
ably low wages paid by that coun-
try's sugar industry, and which can
expand its production greatly at
present prices"
Estimating United States sugar re-
quirements for 1912 would be "at
least 100000 TONS" he said domes-
tic, Hawaiian, Puerto Rican, Cuban
and Latin American sources would
supply probably 100000 tons.
Farwell suggested that if prices
of other crops continue to rise and
production costs increase, sugar beet
producers, who are counted on for
100000 tons of the sweet in 1912,
may switch to more profitable crops,
which would make the probable
shortage, as now seen. even more
acute

Curb on Auto Ports
Modified by Nelson
BY tn. Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Limitations imposed on the out
put of repair and replacement parts
for automobiles and light trucks
have been modified by Priorities Di-
rector Donald NJ Nelson.
The original order provided that
spare parts makers could produce,
from September Is to the end of
the year, 60 per cent of the number
of parts sold by them in the first
six months Of the year. This worked
a hardship on many producers, who
have their heaviest output in the
latter part of the year, Nelson said.
The new amendment provides
that a producer may select either
the first six months of this year or
the last six months of 1910 as the
base period on which to figure his
curtailed production.

This is the opinion Of one Of

At an early age we should

says, even letting them make
what is obviously a wrong choice,
if the outcome doesn't involve too
severe a physical or moral

The reason for this she sums
up in the story Of 12-year-old

Another situation, says the psy-

cation. Many ambitious parents

such a situation. He said: MY
