AMERICAN SUGAR SENT TO FRANCE American Price Rigidly Regulated by United States Food Administration. CONSUMERS HERE PAY 9c. Sugar Coat It Centi a Pound During Civil War Refiners' Profit Now Curtailed. Puitar la H'IIIiik imluy llirou(lioui America at from b lu U cent a pound to the cnimimirr, even though there la a world ahortUKe which hua mluceil thla liatlon'a euaar allotment to TO per rent, of uuruinl. Throiifh the efforts of the United Htates food administration the auttar luarkel lias been renulaied aa far aa the producer, rellner and wholesaler la concerned. The food aduilnlatratioti has no power to rernlute retail prices en eiit hy iiuhlle opinion. Even thonnh more than RTi.txiO tuna of auitar have 1 been shlpMd to Franco In the last four minus the retail arocer's auaar price la around S In rente. lie should aell thla sujfNr at H to 0 rents, the food admlnlatrallnn believes, and auks the American housewife to pay no more than this amount. Last AnKuat when the food admln latrallnn waa nifiinlaed the price of auger rose suddenly to It rents a pound. Kurlna the Civil War siiftsr post the coiiMiimvr X rents a pound. Hjr reKiilaiJon of the su.'ur murket and rediieliiR the prire to 8Vi and 0 rents and keepinx It from sdvsnclnr to 20 rente (he food admlnlstratlnn haa av ed the Amerlrsn piihlle nt lent $180, OtitMNKl In four months, seconllng to atalement msdeby Herbert Hoover the other day. "It la our atern duty to feed the al lies, to malulaln their health and strength at any rnet to ourselves," Mr. Hoover declared. "There hns not been, nor will be sa we see It, enough sugsr for even their present meairre and deprcsslne: ration unless they send ships to remote tuarketa for It. If we In our freed and gluttony force thera either to further reduce their ration or In send these ships we will have done rinmaire to our abllltlea to win thla war. "If we send the ships to Java for 250,000 tone of sugar next year we will have necessitated the em ployment of eleven extra ships for n year, Theee ships If ueed In transporting troops would take 150.000 to 200.000 men to Franca." Reason for World Shortage. Aa Mr. Hoover pointed out, the doited Suites, Camilla and Knglnnd were siignr lmMirtltiR countries before the wnr, while France and Duly were very nearly sc-lf supporting. The mnln sources of the world's suirar supply was (ieruniny and neighboring powers, the Went Indies and the East Indies. German sugar Is no longer available, aa It Is used entirely In Germany, which, Hi so absorbs sugar of surround ing countries. Kuuliind can uo longer buy l,4O0,00C long tuna of sugar each year from Germany. The French sugar produc tion baa dropped from 7.ri0,0t)0 to 210,- 000 tons. The Italian production bus fallen from 210,000 tons to 75,000 tons. Thus three count rlea were thrown upon Fast anil West Indian sources for 1,02.000 tons annually to maintain their normal coiiaumptloir. Because of the world's shipping shortage the allied nations Blurted drawing on the Went Indies for Miigiir; East Indian sugar took three times the number of ships, since the dis tance was three times, as great. Sud denly the went was culled on to fur nUli and did furnish I.OMHhi tons of sugar to EuroH when ,'liK,(MK) tons a year was the pre-war demand. The allies hud drawn from .lava 400,000 tons before the shipping isltmitton be came acute. "In spite of these shipments," Mr. Hoover stated the other day, "the English government In August reduced the household sugar ration to a basis of 2-1 pounds per annum per capita. And In September the French govern ment reduced their household ration to 13 2-10 potinda a yenr. or a lilt over 1 pound of srjfttr a month. Even this meagre ration could not be filled by the French government It was found early In the full. America was then asked for 100,000 tons of sugar nnd succeeded In sending 8.1,000 tons hy Peceniher 1.' Tie French request wns granted beennse the American house hold consumption waa then at least M pounds per person, and It was consid ered the duty of maintaining . the French morale made oar course clear." Today the sugar situation may be aummarlaed by stating that If America will reduce Its sugar eon sumptlonv10 to 16 par esnt thla nation will b abl to send 200,000 mora aoldlera to Franco. Sugar today sella at aeaboard re fineries nt $7.20 a hundred pounds. The wholrsiile grocer tins agreed to limit hla profit to 23 renta a hundred plus freight, and the retail grocer Is MtippoMcd to take no more than 50 cents : hundred inlands profit. Thla regu lation wi.h mnilo hy the food ndmlnls-'t-iit inn, which now asks the housewife ii re M'co M'gnr consumption as much, as prsinl'ilc, tiHlnif other sweeteners, snd slxo remind her that she houli) psr no mor i,,in ti cents a pound for jiigiir Control o Cane Refiners' Profit. "Inilnedlntely iimii ilie estnMnli mem of the food nilinliilairulli'ii," Mr. Oooter said, "an esn liutloo waa Biade of the costs ami profits of refin ing snd It wus flmilly determined "in. the spread between the cost of nil and the sale of refined nine euvur should he limited lo ll.'Ul er hundred miiiiii. 'J he pre-war ilifTi n ntliil bad vera ted uImhiI K't cents mid liKrcnwd costs were found In have been Impos ed by the wnr lu lnrrened rom of re fining, )oiic, r ii of ImgK, labor, Insur snee, Intercut mid 'Mher things, rather more then nier the (inference. After prolonged m'KoilniliiiiN Hie reflnera were placed under agreement estab lishing tlii-M- limit on Oi'toh'T 1, and anything over this amount to he agreed extortionate under the law, "lif the roiirse of these Investiga tions It was found by csiivhss of the Cuban producers that their sugsr had, during the firm nine month of the past year, sold for an average of about ii.ii tier hundred f. o. b. Cuhn, to which duty and freight added to the refiners' cot amount to almnt $!i.M per hundred. The average sale price of granulated by various refineries, ac cording to our Investigation, wss about I7..V) per hundred, or a differential of fl.U. "In reducing the differential In ft .SO there wus s saving to the public of T4 rents per hundred. Had such a dif ferential been In use from the 1st of January. 1D17. the public wonld bsvo saved In the flrf nine months of the yesr about CtiO00" Next Year. ' ' With view to more cfllrleot organ isation of the trude lu lmiorted sugars next year two committees have been formed by (he food administration; 1, A committee comprising repre sentatives of all of the elements of American cane refining groups. Tha principal duty of thla committee la to divide the sugsr Impmis pro rata to their vsrlous (-opacities and aee that absolute Justice Is done to every re finer. . . i 2. A comailtte- comprising three rep resentstlve of the English, French and Italian governments; two repre sentatives of the American reBnera, with a member of the food administra tion. Only two of tha committee bave arrived from Euroie. but they repre sent the allied governments. The du ties of this committee are to determine the most economical sources from a transport point of view of all the al ilea to arrange transport at uniform rates, to distribute the foreign sugar between the United Slates and alilea, subject to the approval of the Ameri can, English, French and Italian gov ernments. Thla committee, while holding atroog vlewa s to the price to be paid for Cuban sugar, has not had the final voire. Thla voice has rested Id the governments concerned, together with the Cuban government, and I wish to state emphatically that all of the gen tlemen concerned aa good commercial men have endeavored with the utmost patience and skill to secure a lower price, ami their persistence has re duced Cuban demands by 15 cents per hundred. , The price agreed upon la about S4.00 per hundred pounds, t o. b. Cuba, or equal to about $0 duty paid New York. "This price should eventuate," Mr. Hoover said, "to about I7.S0 per hundred for refined sugar from the refiners at aeaboard points or should place augar in the hands of the conaumer at from S'i to t cent per pound, depending upon locality and condition of trade, or at from 1 to 2 cents below the price of August last and from one. half to a cent per pound cheaper . than today. "There la cow an elimlnution of speculation, extortionate profits, and In the refining alone the American lieople will save over 125.000,000 of the refining charges lust year. A part of these Havings goes to the Cuhun, Huwalliin, Porto Itlcan and Lousintilaa producer and part to the consumer. . "Appeals to prejudice uguiust the food administration ltuve been inuile because the Cuhun price is 34 'cents above Hint of 1H17. It Is said In effect that the Cubans ate ilt our mercy; that we could get augur n cent lower. We made exhaustive study of the cost of producing sugar In Cuba hist year through our own ngenis in Cuba, and we timl it uveruges .Vo..'ii), while immy producers are nt a higher level. We found thut an average profit of at least n Vent per pound wus necessary In order to maintain nnd stimulate production or that a minimum price of $1.37 waa necessary, and even this would stifle some producers. "The price ultimately agreed wns 23 cents above these figures, or ubout one fifth of a cent per pound to the Ameri can consumer, and more than this amount has been saved by our reduc tion In refiners' profits. If we wish to stifle production In Cuba we could take that course Just at the time, of all times' In our history when we want production for ourselves and, the al lies. Further than that, the state de partment will assure you that such a course would produce disturbances In Cuba and destroy even our present supplies, but beyond all these uiulerlal reasons la one of human Justice. This great country has no right by the might of Its position to strangle Cuba. "Therefore there Is no Imposition upon the American public.
