This will be his last 1 visit before the February penalty, imposed by law is put on. 1 24 2t Hoover said, "an examination was made of the costs and profits of refin ing and it was finally determined that the spread between the cost of raw and the sale of refined cane sugar should be limited to $1.30 per hundred pounds. The pre-war differential had averaged about 85 cents and Increased costs were found to have been impos ed by the war In Increased cost of re fining, losses, cost of bags, labor, Insur ance, Interest and other things, rather more than cover the difference, After prolonged negotiations the refiners were placed under agreement estab lishing these limits on October 1, and anything over this amount to be agreed extortionate under the law. "In the course of these Investiga tions It was found by canvass of the Cuban producers that their sugar had, during the first 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 $5.68 per hundred. The average sale price of granulated by various refineries, ac cording to our investigation, was about $7.50 per hundred, or a differential of $1.84. "In reducing the differential to $1.30 there was a saving to the public of 54 cents per hundred. Had such a dif ferential been In use from the 1st of January, 1917. the public would have saved In the first nine months of the year about $24,800,000." Next Year. With a view t more efficient organ ization of the trade in Imported sugars next year two committees have been formed by the food administration : 1. A committee comprising repre sentatives of all of the elements of American cane refining groups. The principal duty of this committee is to divide the sugar imports pro rata to their various capacities and see that absolute justice is done to every re finer. 2.

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 I wish to state emphatically that all of the gen tlemen concerned as good commercial men have endeavored with the utmost patience and skill to secure a lower price, and their persistence has re duced Cuban demands by 15 cents per hundred. The price agreed upon is about $4.G0 per hundred pounds, f. o. b. Cuba, or equal to about $6 duty paid New York. "This price should eventuate," Mr. Hoover said, "to about $7.30 per hundred for refined sugar from the refiners at seaboard points cr should place sugar in the hands of the consumer at from Zx2 to 9 cents per pound, depending upon locality and conditions of trade, or at from 1 to 2 cents below the prices of August last and from one half to a cent per pound cheaper than today. "There is now an elimination of speculation, extortionate profits, and in the refining alone the American people will save over $25,000,000 of the refining charges last year. A part of these savings gcss to the Cuban, Hawaiian, Porto Rican and Lousianian producer and part to the consumer. "Appeals to prejudice against the food administration have been made because the Cuban price is 34 cents above that of 1917. It is said in effect that the Cubans are at our mercy ; that we could get sugar a cent lower. We made exhaustive study of the cost of producing sugar in Cuba last year tnrough our own agents in Cuba, and we find it averages ?3.39, while many producers are at a higher level. We found that an average profit of at least a cent per pound was necessary in order to maintain and stimulate production or that a minimum price of $4.37 was necessary, and even this would stifle some producers. "The price ultimately agreed was 23 cents above these figures, or about one fifth of a cent per pound to the Ameri can consumer, and more than this amount has been saved by our reduc tion In refiners' profits. If we wish to stifle production in Cuba we could take that course just at the time of all times in our history when we want production for ourselves and the al lies. Further than that, the state de partment will assure you that such a course would produce disturbances in Cuba and destroy even our present supplies, but beyond all these material reasons is one of human justice. This great country has no right by the might of its position to strangle Cuba. "Therefore there Is no imposition upon the American public. Charges have been made before this commit tee that Mr. Rolph endeavored to ben efit the California refinery of which he was manager by this 34 cent Increase In Cuban price. Mr. Rolph did not fix the price. It does raise the price to the Hawaiian farmer about that amount. It does not raise the profit of the California refinery, because their charge for refining is, like all other re finers, limited to $1.30 per hundred pounds, plus the freight differential oa the established custom of the trade.
