of bags yearly from each produc
ing country. These quotas were
based on deliveries made during
the past years and established a
healthy relationship between sup
ply and demand.
The United States ratified this
agreement and ruled that the cus
toms officers be instructed to re
fuse clearance papers on any cof
fees shipped over and above the
quota of any country, in violation
of the agreement. This ruling
gave all producing countries con
fidence and immediately most
countries established minimum
selling prices for their various
grades.
Bidding Spirited
The official ratification by the
United States government of this
quota agreement made coffee
buyers in this country realize
that no more coffee could be had
at the old low level. Spirited bid
ding ensued lor trie Better graaes

prices towards much higher levels.

Uncle Sam teeis:
1. That the loyal American
housewife Is not going to object
to paying a few cents more per
pound for her coffee when she
knows that by so doing she will
perhaps save millions or lamiues
from want or actual starvation in
coffee-producing countries.

2. That hiaher orices will great-

tions with Latin-American nations
during a world crisis when their
friendship is soreiy neeaea.
3. That this increased income
to these countries will . enable
them to purchase more American
made goods which will result In
further reduction of unemploy
ment in this country.
The coffee quota agreement Is
scheduled to remain in effect un
til October, 1943, but its present
success indicates that the agree
ment may become permanent on
coffee as well as other commod

Little Complaint
So far most of the burden has
fallen on the American coffee
rnnstern and nackers. who have
been forced to pay higher prices
for green coffee long before it
was possible to pass this Increased
expenditure on to the retail trade.
Surprisingly the trade in general
has taken these advances with
little complaint, realizing that
during this present world crisis
full cooperation is required on
the part of everyone In the industry.
