And yet there is a great and growing demand for the further extension of federa) control, owner ship and interference by paternalists and socialists and plain demagogues. It is perhaps a result of public indifference to public responsibility that has led this surrender of local to national authority. In that sense we get back to Jefferson's prediction that public indifference would result in public corruption. When people become too lazy to keep their own doorsteps clean, the community must do it in self-protection far 1 100 and It is no great task to centra rnment, but to de centralize it is a chore of great nitude.

No department, no post, no individual ag a Legion- naire can endorse or oppose any can- didate for office nor endorse or op- pose any pa tform. Some men and women who are Legionnaires are in politics, but they are In as clitl- zens, not Legionnaires.

New Pr POU JUST WHAT AMERICAN LEGION IS Cuban Complaints ‘The latest assault upon the pro- ducers of domestic sugar, which means principally the sugar beet farmers of the United States, is by far the most vicious and misleading of any which have preceded {It dur- ing the long fight to keep the Amer- fean sugar industry on a competl- tive basis with the cheap labor of Cuba and other foreien fields. In some respects, however, the) agents of the Cuban. interests are Go- ing to such extremes: that they are in danger of being hoist by thelr own petard. Here, tor example, {s a sample of some of the propaganda being broad- cast by those who would remove the American tariff on sugar and place us wholly in the power of the for. eign producers, just as today we are in the power of the British rub- ber monopoly: “The American tariff on sugar,” says a widely circulated syndicate article, “is ruining Cuba, a friendly neighbor to which we owe, at least, friendship and decent treatment. “Cuba's commercial balance of trade with the United States has fallen in the last year from $167, 000,000 to $85,000,000. Cuba, with commercial generosity, continues buying in our markets, while we, with our cut-throat sugar tariff, are doing all we can to strangle the prosperity of Cuba. * * * “Leaving out any question of de- cency it is against the interest of this country to destroy Cuba's sugar industry. A lttle while ago Amer! cans were eagerly buy!ng for $25 a bag of sugar that can be bought now for $5 to $6." The American beet farmer knows the buncombe in this statement, but the American public 1s Ikely to be misled. The misleading of the public, and possibly of Congress, is the purpose of this propaganda. The truth of the matter fs that Cuba 1s trying with all her might to ruin the American sugar Indus- try; trying to ruin {t by over-pro- duction, creating a world surplus, and by dumping the Cuban raws on the American market. The truth of the matter ts that Cuba was responsible for the $25 a bag for sugar which ts mentioned in the article. That price was obtained at a time when Cuba had contro! of the market’ and proceeded to run away with {t. Sugar prices remain- ed almost out of reach of the Ameri. can consumer until the beet sugar crop came on the market and broke the “corner” which made the Cubans so rich they had the “dance of the millions.” an orgy of “Nigh living and free spending of American money from one end of the island THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 1926 ee Cuba {s not keeping her werd with; America. A good many years ago when Cuba was asking for preferen- tlal treatment under the American tariff and when she was granted a reduction of 20 per cent from all tariff rates, the Cuban sugar crop areounted to 850,000 tons, Cuban sugar bargns, on their oath, assert- ed that it would not be possible for ba ever tc produce more than 2,500,000 tons a year. They added that all they desired was to send to ed States enough sugar to what America herself could not produce, Instead of $50,000 tons a year, or the “sworn maximum” of 2,500,000 year probably 5,500,000 tons. That shows how much America’s “cut-throat” sugar tariff is ‘chok- ing’ and “ruining” Cuba. Even un- der the present tariff, denounced by the Cubans as the highest !n all his. tory, the Cuban production of sugar hax increased from 4,000,000 to 00,000 tons a year.
