Change to Relieve Industry at Horns Demanded by Association Head. - When asketl to comment on the recent disclosure made by Harry J. Brown, Washington correspondent, that the sugar division of the de partment Of agriculture intends to make a counter drive for passage of a simple resolution continuing for another two years the present unsatisfactory sugar control act that will expire. March 1.-IB40. to nullify efforts of the congressional bloc from beef and cane growing states, H. A. Benning of Ogden, Utah, president of the United States Beet Sugar association, had the following to say: v "We have been aware Of the fact for a long time that the administra tion In Washington has been un friendly to the beet sugar industry. On more than one occasion the president, or one of his cabinet members, have burled unwarranted charges of Inefficiency against the Industry. The recently Issued, but later suppressed, pamphlet of the sugnf division of the department of agriculture, which indicated that It was opposed to any change In ex isting ratios that would take any thing away from Cuba and give It to American beet and cane farm ers, served definite warning on us that any relief we might receive from the destructive competition of peon produced sugar from Cuba or the Philippines would have to he won orer the opposition of the ad ministration. Plus Faith In Congress "I feel sure, ' however, that our senators and congressmen are fully alive to the needs of our farmers and that the Informal congressional committee that was recently organ ized to study the problem and to prepare hew legislation for passage at the next session of congress, is well able to tuke care of the situa tion without being unduly Influenc ed by employes in the department of agriculture. "There are many who will agree with me that It Is high time that Hie sugar division ot the depart ment of agriculture devote their anorgles to their sole legal duties, which are to carry out the wishes of congress through "a fair and un biased administration of the sugar eontrol act, and leave the matter of new legislation to senators and congressmen who are elected hy the people to perform this service. "If the farmers of these Irrigated western states expect to bo able to Increase their acreage of this one major American crop of which we do nof already produce a aurplus, and which will pay them A larger net cash Income year after year thart any other major farm com modity, and at the some time give them a soundly balanced farming nntl livestock program, they must tako every opportunity to protest against nny governmental policies which put a greater value on the welfare of foreign producers while overlooking the needs ot our own citizens."
