WASHINGTON. !. 20. Am
nnVnti heet and Porto Khan cane
sugar interests asked the senate
finance committee today for a
duty of two cents a pound on
Cuban raw sugar, while Louis
iana cane producers and manu
facturers urge that he duty be
made 2.5 cents a pound. The rate
proposed in the Fordney bill i3
1.6 cents a pound, an increase oi
a sixteenin oc one rem
Underwood law duty and the same
rate in fjree under the emergen
cy tariff act.
Spokesmen for the American
beet and eane interests, in; con
cluding presenation of case, de
clared that their industries were
threatened with destruction and
would be forced to suspend if the
present duty were continuea.
This would leave the American
field open to the Cuban cane in
dustry, they said, adding that ev
ents last year when raw sugar
wen to 22 4 cents a pound indi
cated what would happen to Am
erican consumers under such a
condition.
The witnesses said the issue
before congress was whether tht-
American sugar industry, which
now supplies half the nation's
needs, was to be sacrificed to Cn
ba. They said there was a dis
position to Injure Cuba and that
if production in that country was
reduced to somewhere near the
pre-war total of 2,000,000 tons,
or half of the amount consumed
annually in the i'nited
States, the Cuban industry could
be put back on its feet.
Cuba Fights Rates
Louisiana producers charged
charged that the American pro
ducers in Cuba were the American
refiners who always had fought
against a duty on Cuban sugar.
They and the beet sugar industry
spokesmen also declared that the
Cuban producers had 1,250,000
tons of sugar from last year's
crop which "they were threatening
to throw on the American mar
ket at one cent pound.
In a brief filed with the com
mittee, Gray Silver, Washington
representative . of the American
Farm Bureau Association, sugges
ted that the maximum rate on
sugar be made 1.6 cents a pound
with authority given the presid
ent to Increase this rate "if it
should become evident that Ainer
lean producers were losing ground
to the detriment o the country.

Some Last Minute Suggestions
for Practical
We have sold thousands of Christmas gifts this year. We had planned
on a large trade so we laid in a specially large Christmas stock. Though
many gifts have been purchased from this there still remain a peat
many pretty, practical and unique gifts which some lucky friend will be
glgad to'receive. Many of these will have reduced prices for the last
few days of selling so you can now take advantage of the reductions in
some departments. But the most important of all things to remember
is
ftop Early In the Day
Our store is crowded to the door in the afternoon. We simply cannot
handle satisfactorily all the trade, so it is to your better service as well
as our convenience that you do your shopping early in the day.
