R3iw (Duty Pw Poet) Pir otoiwirai----(NtiiVxXriai
In April 1917 the cables told of a plan proposed by Herbert C.
Hoover, then in London, which he described as "a plan by which the
Allies can consolidate under one head the whole purchasing of food
staples from our market, and not only will competitive bidding be
abolished, but by co-operative buying on our side we can arrange the
proper balance between the rights of producers and consumers."
This plan was favorably received by
the sugar refining industry, which had
been on 'a war basis almost from the
beginning of the European War.
The war had brought the Allies into
the Cuban market, resulting in severe
domestic and international competition
with no increased supplies. Naturally
prices of refined sugar, both to the
American public and to the Allies, rose
under this forced draft.
Domestic sugar refiners, since the
outbreak of the European War not only
have safeguarded the United States
supply but have maintained the lowest
sugar prices in the world.
This brilliant record is due largely to
the fact that sugar refining is in the
hands of large business units, with an
excess of refining capacity sufficient to
supply all domestic needs, and so far all
demands of foreign countries.
In the spring of 1917 there was a
serious attempt at the disorganization
of the sugar refining industry, following
a long scries of attempts at destruction
of sugar ships.
Accompanying these incidents were
widely circulated sensational reports
predicting a sugar famine and sugar
shortage, causing widespread appre
hension. At that time, even with the assurance
of ample supplies on hand, retail sugar
prices rose in some sections to 20 and 25
cents a pound.
The efforts of the Franklin Sugar
Refining Company to allay public
alarm, to check hoarding to accept a
price less than that which it could easily
have secured, and to distribute its
product fairly and evenly among the
trade, were of real public service.
While there were great supplies of
sugar in far-away Java which ordinarily
would have gone to Europe, yet the
necessity for saving ships became so
great that' Europe turned to Cuba for
even larger supplies than previously.
It takes a cargo ship 150 days to make
a round trip between England and Java,
while a round trip between England and
Cuba can be made in 50 days.
Under these circumstances and seem
ingly to avoid paying proposed United
States war taxes on refined sugar the
European Allies purchased in Cuba the
sugar which ordinarily would have
come to the United States in the fall
months.
These conditions, and especially the
necessity of saving ships, led the United
States and the Allied Nations to urge
upon the sugar industry the adoption
by voluntary agreement of the original
Hoover plan, under the authority of
the Food Control Act, passed August
10. 1917.
The cane-sugar refiners and the
beet-sugar producers unanimously
agreed to the Hoover plan as a patri
otic act in the interest of the American
people and as an aid to the Allies.
This is the significance of the ap
pointment by the United States Food
Administration of the International
Sugar Committee to which the AUie-i
send ' representatives for England,
France, Italy and Canada, and to which
the United States contributes three
members.
Upon the success of the operation of
the International Sugar Committee un
der the directions of the Allied Gov
ernments, acting for practically half the
civilized world, will depend the read
justment of the world's sugar markets.
This plan is full of promise to all the
nations party to the convention.
It is an assurance that sugar, although
comparatively cheap in view of war
conditions, will not by reason either of
competitive or speculative activity be
increased in wholesale price.
Sugar will become stabilized in price
with sufficient profit to producers, refin
ers and merchants to maintain and
stimulate production and to cover the
cost of refining and of distribution.
The marketing of Franklin Cane
Sugars in cartons and small cotton bags
by this Company has helped amazingly
during the pinch of the fall months, in
giving a wide distribution among the
retailers of the reduced sugar supplies.
While a barrel formerly was the unit
of the grocer the same amount of sugar
put up in cartons and small cotton bags
can now be divided between two or,
more grocers and so serve a larger num
ber of people and prevent hoarding.
It will be necessary for grocers and
consumers to watch carefully their dis
tribution and purchases during the ap
proaching period of readjustment. The
refineries are now starting up and sup
plies of raw sugar coming forward but
it will take weeks, and possibly months,
before the return, of normal conditions.
Housewives can aid in conserving the
sugar supply by buying these package
sugars.
In war time and at all times it is our aim to safeguard the interest!'
of the public we serve.
