was made by the American Sc

der the present coming the

Cooley Hits Sugar Law
As Cause of Price Rise

"our sugar insurance policy"
Much Of the current dislo-
cation In the sugar market Is
caused by the banning Of Gu
ban sugar In the United States.
Cuba formerly supplied about
3 million tons Of sugar out Of
the annual United States con-
sumption OF 10 million. and was
the largest foreign supplier.
Now Cuban sugar goes TO the
Soviet bloc countries and the
Cuban share Of the American
market has been reallocated 10
friendly countries.
Sugar withheld
Some OF these countries have
held their sugar off United
States markets because OF the
higher world price.
Mr.. Cooley said the United
States should return TO the
system Of paying q premium
price for sugar that Ia neces-
ary TO assure US Of supply and
price stability, and strictly en-
force the provision OF the law
which summarily withdraws
from any country permanent
ly any part Of its quota which
II fails TO fill because Of more
