Sugar Quota
And Good Neighbors'

Washington, d. C.
Sugar Quota
And Good Neighbors'
In 1884 latter long and extensive
hearings" as the Congressional
Record puts it, a sugar law was
passed. The law stabilized the
sugar industry by establishing
quotas to be raised. imported and
refined and provided for benefit pay
ments to growers for following GER
tain agricultural and labor prac-
tees. Again, in 1887, after long and
extensive hearings it was renewed.
Behind that phrase long and eX-
tensive" lies the story of a ferocious
battle on the part of the sugar in
terests to defeat the administration
measure. Each time they failed,
but early this month in 40 minutes
and in the teeth of the state depart
ment, the department of interior,
the department of agriculture and
the White House, the law was so
rewritten by the house of represen-
tatives as to amount to defeat of
administration wishes.
The senate is as yet to act, after
studying reports from the above
named departments. The bill as
originally written authorized the
secretary of agriculture to estimate
the amount of sugar required by
American consumers for a definite
period. Then, according to a pre-
scribed scale, it apportioned quotas
among the producers of continental
United States, Puerto Rico, the Ha-
waiian Islands, Cuba and other for
eign countries.
AS passed by the house, the pres
ent measure would increase the
amount of sugar purchased from
the beet and cane sugar growers on
the mainland and reduce the
amount of raw and refined sugar
purchased from other growers.
This step, if finally enacted into
law, says the administration, would
be a slap in the face of good-neigh-
borship: Cuba alone would have
her quota cut by SO, 1000 tons of raw
and S 1000 tons of refined sugar.
And it would completely dislocate
the computations of Secretary
Wickard who thinks that the sugar
quotas and benefit payments for
certain practices have kept the sug-
ar situation pretty well in hand.
The only lobby I ever heard the
President mention by name is the
sugar lobby" 1t is n of the
most powerful pressure groups in
the capital.

Chemical Output, Home
Use at NeD Highs

NEW YORK. Jan. 4.-Produc-
ton of chemicals of virtually every
sort was at the highest levels on
record in 1910. and the industry
held itself able and ready to sup
ply the vastly greater needs an
ticipated by the stepping up of
national defense and British re-
quirementS in 1871.
Domestic consumption of chemi-
Gals set new high and so did eX-
ports. The preliminary index of
domestic consumption of Cher ical
and Metallurgical Engineering set
an all-time high of 1542S in Octo-
Der, with the average for 1895 as
100, and was estimated at $50 in
November.
Previously the index had crossed
100 only for several months in
1897 and near the close of 1899.
bot il remained we'll above that
level throughout most of 1910.
As TO export, figures on indus
trial chemicals show that the rate
of shipments overseas was virtu-
ally double the average rate for
the preceding three years since
September. 1899. The increase for
II months in 1910 over the average
for the same months in 1886 to
1888 inclusive was 113 per cent.
The gain over the 1899 period was
55 per cent. reflecting the sharp
upturn in the last four months of
that year.

Immediate Roosevelt policy of

Somebody indulging in a wild
flight of imagination, once wrote
"only 2 per cent of Americas

country's wealth." Similar an
nouncements have since been so
repeatedly prated that too many
persons unfamiliar with the facts
have swallowed it. 1t isn't within
a thousand miles Of the truth.
In no country are ordinary folks
nearly as we'll off as in the United
States. No other land has half as
many families owning their own
