HIGH PRICES

DUETO STRIFE
I'urtiHan Squabbling Takes
Place in Washington;
' Action Delayed
WASHINGTON, 1). O Th pre,
ant tiiitn sugar prrre are one of the
fruiia of partiaan urifv stirred upu
hrre early last year when the Repub
lican look control of the special ea
iou of Conjrrvs.
AIomk in Auiruti, after the parti
an had thoutrd all aummer about
the vcraxarrlsa of Kovenunent con
trol, the question of continuing the
Sugar Equalization Hoard another
year and buying the Cuban sugar
rrup came up. At that time there wa
at lat one member of the Board It
lf who Ihouicht it wa lime for the
Government to gel out of the mar
ket, and the cntiment among the
majority in Connect aeemed to urge
such a couite. One rliool of rron
omitt holding this theory argued
thai the peace treaty would b tinned
and all the nation would be released
from their war alliance and reuly to
go Into the market on a tupply and
ilrmand ltl.
Then cam October with world
maikct still unsettled and when the
Sugar Hoard appeared before Con
grvt it urged thai it existence ,b
continued until December 81st, 1U2U,
and hat it be authorized lo purcha.e
the coming Cuban rop. Hut Congress
ttill teemed to favor getting out of
the market and there wa no action.

uf tupply and demand would have to
ba allowed to ntr an unready field
aguln uft' r thai date. In other word,
with an actual existing ugur shori
ng, the bar were 10 lie thrown down.
There would b no market control.
There would be no wholesale distri
buting teheme and every corner of the
world wa to get what It would pay
for. Itealiiing what their failure to
art wa bringlngon, (ongrrt at the
latt minute got' buy and on Ifecemb
brr 20th the Sugur Equalization
Hourd wa continued' for another six
month.
By thl time, however, the C- ntral
Cuban agency had gone out of exis
tence and control of the market could
not be secured through one agency
a before, but the market mutt be
rhatrd down wherevir Cuban pur
chasm were pottible. Mianwhile the
allied nation who controlled the Cu
ban market list year hud unbound
heinaelyr from their alliance and
were alroady In the field at our com
petitor. Betide in renewing the life
of the Hoard Congress hid failed to
provide it anew with its former pew
ert of equalization and distribution
I In fare of the new aituation the
Board haa been forced to art in the
moot serviceable capacity posible
and will continue to mako available
purchases and the l.c?ning opera
tion. But to go in'o theOban field
at this time would m-an lhat it would
become a bull in the rrnrket, driving
prices up against itself i nd against
.Ml either purchase-. . In otVr words,
Congress acted so late that it I now
ImpoBtihla for the govsmmrnt agen
cies to rrurc control of the Cuban
supply by purchasing operations with
out "ky-rorketing" prices. And since
it !: going out of business In July it
would lie uneconomical to purchase
the entire crop.
Uncle Sim will undoubtedly secure
the bulk of the Cuban crop" by de
fault", becaue most of the other in
ternational bidder will be limited to
their purchases. It it estimated that
tin re will be approximately 4.200,
nun lo-it available The nation of
Europe are limited at to purchasing
power and only part of their pur
chase can b sugar. It ia estimated
that the UniUd State will g't con
siderably mora than half tha Cuban
supply.
Had wr bought a control or the
entire crop in October or November
prices would have been somewhat
ttabalixrd by this lima. A It is, how
ever, Janmry prices are considerably
above normal. February quotations
are slightly lower and March prlcis
show further receding with the fore
cast thai the sugar flurry may end
with the coming of Spring and a re
turn all over th world lo mora near
ly normal condition. Memwhile,
with a greater consumption in this
country than ever before, with abnor
mal condition generally .and with
with th necessity for high quota
tions to ecure preferred sugar stock
from other field than the Cuban and
with tome isolated hoarding and pro
fit, ering still going on, the law of
supply and demand is gradually work
nz bock into its own.
