PALMER'S MISTAKE IN HELPING LOUISIANA GROWERS. ‘The attitude of the Administration ‘ug been singularly stupid on sugar, ‘or instance, when Attorney General Palmer ruled that consumers in the ' territory served by the Louisiana planters should pay twice \s much for their sugar a3 consumers va the Auiantic Seaboard, the retail price of sugar in Atlanta, Ga., soared © forty-two cents a pound and It was ndoubtedly higher in smaller com- wunities, New Yorkers were getting ugar then at twenty-three cents o yound retall. On the 10th of last Ootober it was suite apparent to everybody in the ugar business that the market waa ciutted with sugar beyond the point of Smmeiiiate absorption, In other words, the supply was away ahead of the demand, There started from Washington to New York about that date the “Flying Squadron” of the Department of Justice to expose food profieers in the metropolia. With thé “Squadron” was John B. Floyd, who had the title of statisticlan, Mr, Wloyd, on reaching New York, said: “The people of the United States will pass through another period of short supply of sugar before tho end of the year and in the early months EXPOSURE MAKES TARIFF SUGAR BILL “STICKY" Fordney Measure Faces Hard Fight. in Senate, Though Penrose Backs It.

An effort on the part of Senator Penrose to railroad the measure over Aber important Senate business Wednesday afternoon was blocked by Senator Pat Harrison of Missis- mppl, the leader of the opposition of 1921, 1 have no doubt.” ‘We are now in the early months of 1931 and the surplus supply of sugar in the country amounts to 1,260,000 (ong despite the predictions of a@ shortage by a statistician on the Gov- ernment payroll.

P, LOBBY IN HURRY TO PASS BILL. Senator Penrose'’s declaration to the Senate yesterday that he intends force to the Fordney bill. While the Proponents of the trick tariff bill failed in the effort to make it “un- finished fusiness," Senator Penrose served notice that he would renew his miotion at an opportune moment. “I want it understood,” Penrose said, “that I shall seek to have the tariff bill made ‘unfinished business’ at the earliest opportunity, and 1 shall renew my motion whenever an opportunity presouts iteelf."* Meantime tho long provision re- lating to tariff impositiong on sugar is becoming the storm centre before the House Ways and Means Com- mittee, where the permanent tariff measure is being framed. The rep- resentatives of the sugar interests are concentrating thelr forces in Washington and making a deter- to hurry the passage of the Fordney| Mined fight to accomplish their ob- Emergency, Tarif Bill indicates that|Ject. With Chairman Fordney, from the men back of the measure want to rush it through before thé people have a chance to learg what it is all about. The Evening World's expose of the real motive of the measure— the reimbursement of the sugar in- terests and their allied financial in- stitutions—has already set up some jdable hurdles in the path of tM rush programme, although The Evening World correspondent iq jn- formed that a canvass has beey made, and that Representative Fordney and Senators Gay, Smoot and Penrose Delieye they have the votes to put the bill -over. Their hopes lie in the fact that they have taken care of every agri-~ oultural and stook raising interest that has suffered: business losses. The bill looks out for the wheat grower, the tobacco grower, the cot- ton grower, the frozen*meat industry, the butter and egg industry, and so on. It touches the interests of every member of Congress having an agri- cultural constituency. To these is held out the implied threat that if they oppose the sugar amendment the smendment in which they are most vitally interested Is in danger. The word has been passed that the bill will bave to go. through in ite entirety The original Fordney Bill has. been parsed by {he House, But after tt reached the Senate Committee on Finance amendments were tacked onto it, Seven of these amendments were added last Saturday The trickery underlying the bill is shown by a statement given out to the Washington corre. spondents on Saturday that wie Increase on sugar would amount to anly 283 per hundred pounds until the retail price reaches 10 cents a pound, The Evening World thas wn thal the increabe to be passed along (thy consumer amounts to four cents a pound, and that the provision that the retali price shall not + 1 10 cents a pound Is of no yalue because it is made to apply to a condition that will not ox ist, = BROKER TOOK BACK GEMS, NURSE SAYS Sues for $2,500 Gifls She Declares Louis K.

EVENING. WORLD EXPOSURE STIRS UP ALL) CONGRESS. ‘The Senate Js the principal hope to balk this gigantic scheme to.boost the value of the holdings of the sugar people, approximately $12,000,000, by & mere waving of the legislative wand. If the Senate should adopt the Gay amendment there is no question about the ability of Representative Fordiney and his protectionist lleu- tenants to drive the provision through the House when it comes up in the shape of a motion to agree to a con- ference report. The sop thrown to Democratic members from agricul- tural regions, the “protection” of their products will insure the continued support of some forty of the minority. The Evening World's exposure of the magnitude of this scheme to mulot the many for the benefit of the few was read with interest by Sen- ators .and Representatives to-day, The faots submitted by The Evening World maké it certain that the sugar amendment will be the storm centre of the opposition to the Fordney bill in the Senate, Senator Hartison has indicated that he is prepared to filibuster, if neces+ sury, to defeat the Fordney bill, He served notice that its consideration cannot be rushed ahead of the Dis- triet of Colunvbia Appropriation BIL and other pending measures, Even Senator Penrose admitted, on his return to Washington a couple of weeks ago, that @ large number of manufacturers do not want any “tarift tinkering" at this.time for fear tt will further demoralize our trade relations with Europe.

S. to No Obligation. RESENTMENT GROWING. State Department Fears Situ- ation May Have Damaging Effect on Trade. By David Lawrence. (Special Correspondent of The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 (Copyright, 1921).—Europe's outspoken attitude toward a new assoolation of nations a8 revealed in tho cablegrams of the last twenty-four hours has made a profound impression here upon those who belleved it would be easy wonk to scrap the present League and lure Kuropean powers into any interna- tonal organization proposed by the United States. ‘What the Buropean correspondents have suddenly begun sending is no accidental discovery of the true state ff Wurope’s feeling, because diplo- mats here have known that a cool- ness toward the Harding proposals was springing up. But what has happencd |s the beginning of a series of warnings by Wurope to America that between the hard and fast alllance which at present is so closely interwoven with the Treaty of Ver- sadlles and a new association which resembles the Hague Conference and commits America to no obligations whatsgever, obviously Europe would prefer her alliange. The writer finds the Department of State naturally upset by the turn things have taken, for tho fear is expressed there that resentment against the United States will grow and will hurt American \ppportunity to do business in foreign markets be- cause on every side there will be discrimination. Butpin the Depart- ment of State sits the Democratic Administration where the Wilsonian viewpoint is reflected, #0 the true valuo of Europe's significant state. ments that the present League will not tbe scrapped for an empty asso- ciation of nations must be found elsewhere in Washington. All these developments are read bere in the light of te news that France and Germany and Great Brit- jan are considering an agreement on the method of paying indemnitics so that an economic unit may bo created on the gontinent of Hurope and thus diminish the requirements of goods that might otherwise have been bought from the United States. ‘The questions are ng longer political byt economic and many business men who want to see America's foreign trade expanded fear that Europe will not feel kindly toward the United States because in this moment of seri- ous disturbance she has stood aloof seeking all (he advantages without incurring any of the responsibilities or obligations. The reaction has just started in, If America can get along without Euro: pean markets, then the new attitude assumed by the powers is not to be feared. If America wants European, trade and an influence in the regut tion of world commerce and finano the warning just sent by the Buro- pean correspondents will be taken to heart, Disinterested judgment in Washington is that Warren Harding will come closer to the present League of Natio than the irreconcilable group ever dreamed would be the case WHAT IS DOING TO-DAY IN CONGRESS Manufactures Committee hear- ings on Cakler coal bill Foreign Relations Committee regumics cousideration of Borah Gimarmament resolution Democratic Senators continue filibuster against emergency tar itt bill, Jndieiapy Committee continues coneideration of France resolution for ammnesty-to political prisoners, HOUSE, Herbert Hoover appears bafore Agriculture Committee to give bis | views on legisiation to curb cot. ton and grain spovulation.

Presenting his Cabinet slate to the Chamber of Deputies, the new Pre- ica's hesitancy at entering the League of Nations. He also expressed his confidence in the future relations of the two countries. “The age-old friendship of France and the United States—and the un- forgetable remembrances of our oom- mon history, which has mingled in the past and will mingle in the fu- ture, if necessary, the blood of our soldiers on Ifberty’s battlefield— guarantee our union in peace time as well ae jwar time,” the Premier waid, “We are sur¢ our American friends will give us €or reparation for war damages, the game invaluable aid which decided the victory in the great war when we defended together the course of civilization. “We respect the scruples which make the United States hesitate over the initial form to be given the League of Nations, whose generous and beneficent principles they never have doubted.” ‘A statement isvued by the new Gov- ernment declared that more complete disarmament of Germany must be brought about in order to make peace reailly seoure. . Reparations comes next in the Gov- ernment programme, On this the declaration says: « “yhe reconstitution“ of our ravaged soll, our destroyed jndusiries and the equilibrium of our finances are pos- sible only if Germany executes the Versajiigs: To thie end our allies will give us. their suppert. “Uniess the frightful iniquity of war 4s repaired, a resumption of nor- mal rélations and Seareonioies ex- changes will remain impossible.” The declaration points out that none of Germany's factories was de- stroyed, that its forces of produc- tion remain intact and that the con~ ditions of exchange which defeat in- filcted upon her open the widest hopes for her commercial expansion. a E, CLARENCE JONES SAILS WITH BRIDE Mrs. William Hayward, and Son, Philip Morgan Plant, Also on Imperator’s Passenger List.
