They have a three-fold ob ' ject in vieW, namely :. First to secure a reduction in the rate of sugar ; second to create a prejudice against American l sugar producers with a hope that the American people will , demand a reduction in the. duty on sugar low , enough ; to destroy the American industry and give them control of every pound of sugar consumed in the United States and at a price fixed by them ; third, to recoup their, lost profits sustained during the early part of the year. 1922 when they reduced the price of Cuban 96 sugar to 1.67 P61" hundred pounds for the purpose pivdealing a deiath blow to the beet sugar producers of America, who. had contracted with the farmers for beets at $12 per. ton for the yield of beets for the year 1921. The greater part of the sugar made from those beets was neces sarily: marketed in the early part , of the year 1922. The sugar companies of America Their credit and capital were have been successful in their well planned death blow to the 'sugar producers of our country if outside assistance had not been secured.- The Fordney-McCumber act increased " the rate of Cuban sugar 16c per hundred pounds, not $4 per hun dred. pounds as the refiners are1 now trying to have .the American sugar consumer believe. I hope for an early in vestigation of the present high price of sugar,' as well as to the .necessary rate of duty required to save, the industry to America. I have no fears "whatever as to the results. I would like to have the tariff commission call Senator Sim mons as a witness and ask him to explauvhow it is possible to reduce the price of sugfr by importations' from Europe while Europe secures a- large part of 3 sugar from Cuba. Note the rates of duty European countries T are paying today as compared with our duty of 1.76 per hundred pounds. Italy, 2.6&per hundred; Germany, 3.12 per hundred; Belgium, 3.50 per hundred ; England, and United Kingdom, 5.00 per? hun dred; Greece, 6.81 per hundred; Spain, -15.75 .per hundred; JTherefinera control the production of sugar Jin Culja and the price at which it is soloV Reports show that they own j 32949 acres of land capable of producing 8,188,000 .tons of sugar; that being over three million tons morei than is 'cof.oamed in'America With a lower rate of duty they can destroy the American production and when that is done, God help the American consumer. To lower the rate would be a ; lo3a to the treasury and a further gain to the refiners.

J, t y ; The Statesman , editorial writer made a mistake a, few days ago in giving the rate of -duty on- Cuban sugar. The rate3 in the tariff law are in technical terms- according to tests by the polariscope, and a layman attempting to translate these terms is liable to mistakes."! JThe rates vary, according to the kind of sugar. There is no doubt about the rate of Cuban sugar, as given by Senator Smoot. ; The only certain remedy against the robbery of the American people by the sugar barbn3 and speculators is the production in this country, of all the sugar our people use. They (use four million tons. ; We produce half of it, and buy from foreigners mostly from Cuba, the other half ' And te only way to secure this doubled home produc tion is to provide still higher rates of dijty, in order to pro tect our horrid people against ruinous foreign competition.

There is nothing surprising in that expression .of . opinion, based on ' observation and reflec tion.

Mr. Towhley says that he was a' sincere believer In j the Social istic theories of state iand gov ernment ownership when he or ganized his league. But 'the ac tual experience of applying tBose theories to the ? government of North bakota convinced him that successful operation is impossible. Mr. Townley believed in state socialism and the farmers . of North Dakota believed - In Mr. Townley.- He now . says that he Is sorry, that he encountered eco nomic forges that are beyond gov ernment, control.

At the same time it is claimed that all poisonous bacilli are killed and objectionable forms of decomposition or fermentation are nullified; If would seem that this thing would appeal to the home brewers If they could get around to do it.
