Sugar Cost 35 Cents a Pound During ClviJ War—Refiners' Profit* Now Curtailed. flugwr is Belling today throughout America at from 8 Vi to 9 cent» u pound to lire consumer, even though there is a woUd shortage which has reduced this nation s sugar allotment to 70 per cent ot Donnai Through the effort* ot the United States food administration the sqg tr market haa been regulated as Ar as the producer, refiner and wholesaler la concerned. The food administration haa no power to regulate retail prices except by public opinion. Even though more than 85,000 tons of sugar have been shipped to France In the lust four month* the retail grocer s sugar price Is around 8 to 834 cent9. He should sell this sugar at 834 To 0 eents, the food administration believes, and asks the American housewife to pay no more than this amount Last August when the food admin istratlon was organized the price of sugar rose suddenly te It cents a pound. During the Civil War sugar cost the consumer 35 cents a pound, By regulation of the sugar market and reducing the price to 834 and 9 cents and keeping It from advancing to 20 cents the food administration has sav ed the American public at least $180, 000,000 In four months, according to a statement mado by Herbert Hoover the other day. "It Is our stern duty to feed the al lies, to maintain their health and strength at any cost to ourselves," Mr. Hoover declared. "There has not been, nor will be as we see it, enough sugar for even their present meagre and depressing ration unless they send ships to remote markets for It. If we in our greed and gluttony force them either to further reduce their ration or to send these ships we will have done damage to our abilities to win this war. "If we send the ehlps to Jav* for 250,000 tons of sugar next year we will have necessitated the em ployment of eleven extra ships for one year. These ehlps—If used in transporting troops—would take 150,000 to 200,000 men to France." Reason for World Shortage. As 31r. Hoover pointed out, the United States, Canada and England were sugar Importing countries before the war ' whIle France and Italy were very nearly self supporting. The main gouroes ot the worlds sugar supply was Germany and neighboring powers, the West Indies and the East Indies. German sugar is no longer available, os It is used entirely In Germany, which also absorbs sugar of surround ing countries. England can no longer buy 1,400,000 long tons of sugar each year from Germany. The French sugar produc tion has dropped from 750,iKX) to 210, 000 tons. The Italian production ha* fallen from 210,000 tons to 75,000 ton*. Thu* three countries were thrown upon East and West Itidinn sources for 1,925.000 ton* annually to maintain their normal consumption. Because of the world's shipping shortage the allied Dations started drawing on the West Indies for sugar; East Indian sugar took three times the number of ships, since the dis tance was three times as great. Sud denly the west was called on to fur nish and did furnish 1,420.000 tons of sugar to Europe when 800,000 tons a year was the pre-war demand. The ailles had drawn from Java 400,000 ton* before the shipping situation be came acute. "Tn spite of these shipments," Mr. Hoover stated the other day, "the English government in August reduced the household sugar ration to a basis of 24 pounds per annum per capita. j pound of sugar a month. Even thl* Today the sugar situation may b* *ummarizod by stating that If America will reduce it* sugar con eumptlon 10 to 15 per cent, this nation will be able to send 200,COO more «oldiers to France. And In September the French govern- 1 ment reduced their household ration I to 13 2-10 pounds a yenr, or a bii over ! its j meagre ration could not be filled by the French government ft was found early ln th* fall. America was then asked for 100.000 tons of sugar and succeeded in sending 83,000 tons by December 1. The French request wa* granted because the American house hold consumption was then at least 55 pounds per person, and it was consid ered the duty of nmin'aining e French morale made our course clear."

The wholesale grocer has ugreed to limit his profit to 25 cents a hundred latlon ivus made by the food adminl» tratlon, which now asks the housewife to reduce sugar consumption ns much as possible, «sing other sweeteners, and also reminds her that she should pay no more than fi cents a pound for sugar. Control of Cane Sefinero' Profit*. "Immediately upon the establish ment of the fond administration." M» noover said, "an examination was j made of the costs and profits of refln ! ing and it was tinully determined that i the spread between the cost of raw 1 and the sale of refined cane sugar should be limited to $1.30 per hundred ! pound*. The pre-war differential had ' averaged atout 83 cents and increased J costs were found to have been Impos cd by the war In lnoreused cost of re fining, losses, cost of bags, labor, lnsur I ance, iniarest and other things, rather j more than cover the dllterenca After j prolonged negotiations the refiners were placed under agreement estab lishing these limit* on October I, and anything over this amount to be agreed extortionate under the law. "In the course of these Investiga tions It was found hy canvass of the Cuban producers that their sugar had, during the flist nine months of the past year, sold for an average of about $4.24 per hundred f. o. b. Cuba, to which duty and freight added to the refiners' cost amount to about $5 66 per hundred. The average sale price of granulated by various refineries, ac cording to our Investigation, was about $7.30 per hundred, or a differential of $ 1 . 84 . "In reducing the differential to $1 80 there was a saving to the public of 54 cents per hundred. Had such a dif ferential been In use from the 1st of .Tauuary, 1917. the public would bava saved in the first nine months of the year about $24 800.000." Next Year. With a view to more efficient organ ization of the trudo In Imported sugars next year two committees have been formed by the food administration : L A committee comprising repre sentative* of all of the elements of American cane refining groups. The principal duty of thi* committee Is to divide the sugar Imports pro rata to their various capacities and see that absolute Justice 1* done to every ra finer. 2. A committee comprising three rep resentatives of the English, French and Italian governments; two repre sentatives of the Americun refiners, with a member of the food administra tion. Only two of the committee have arrived from Europe, 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 lies to arrange transport at uniform rates, to distribute the foreign sugar between the United States and allies, subject to the approval of the Ameri can, English, French and Italian gov ernments. This committee, while holding strong views as to the price to be paid for Cuban sugar, has not had the final voice. This voice has rested In the governments concerned, together with the Cuban government, and l wish to state emphatically that all of the gen tlemen concerned as good commercial men *.ave endeavored with the utmost patience and skill to secure a lower r n b a , or egual to about $0 duty paid New York. "Thi* price should eventuate," Mr. Hoover said, "to about $ 7 .30 per hundred for refined sugar from the refiners at seaboard points or should place sugar in the hands of the consumer at from 8^4 to 9 cents per pound, depending upon locality and conditions of frade, or at from i to 2 cents below the prices of August last and from one half to a cent per pound cheaper than today. price, and their persistence has re 1 ducert Cuban demands by 15 cents per | I hundred.
