Thursday, September 23, 1937 ngKZflt ( WMHKNCRffi ~ Washington, September 21. "Until President Roosevelt signed the Sugar Quota bill after Con gress had adjourned it was doubt ful whether it would become a law or not. It is common report in Washington that Mr. Roosevelt had actually written a veto mes sage, and only at the last minute decided to let the bill become law, In view of promises by Senators that Congress would revise the whole thing before the subject comes up for revision in 1940. As it was, the President took oc f casion, in reluctantly approving the new sugar law, to make a few caustic remarks about the Sugar Lobby and the refiners back of it, who, he said, "unfortunately were able to join forces with the do mestic producers in the mainten ance of a powerful lobby in the National Capital and elsewhere. This lobby has cost the stockhold ers of these refining companies millions of dollars, and it has heen wholly unnecessary so far as the protection of the domestic beet and cane producers is concerned." The bill which arounsed the Presidential ire continues restric tions on imports of raw sugar, and limits the amounts of refined su gar from Cuba. Puerto Rico and Hawaii. These restrictions have .been in effect since 1934, and cost /flthe American people in -*1936, a 4psum which the Secretary of Agri culture estimates at $350,000,000, or about 2 1-2 cents a pound on all the sugar consumed. The Sec retary of State estimated the cost to consumers at about $3 a head PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A PAY ING POSITION IN 1938 W~sf Y Learn Beauty Culture fry _ A This is a real opportunity to learn a pro fession which will make you independent of I ordinary jobs. =T~"KING'S BEAUTY SCHOOL £ 229 South Elm St. Phone 2-1372 / 15 Greenst»oro, N.

The bill was passed by Congress over the protests of the Adminis tration. Secretary Wallace protest ed th&t it would cut the purchas ing power of countries exporting sugar, at the expense of American agricultural exports. Secretary Hull said it was unfair to Cuba and would handicap his recipro cal tariff policy. Secretary ickes declared the bill discriminated "in an extremely imperialistic manner" against Ha waii, Puerto, Rico and the Virgin Islands. Nevertheless, the efforts of the 27 processors of beet sugar and the 13 cane sugar refiners prevailed over Administration pro tests. Sugar Lobby Powerful The Senators from the sugar states, speaking, as they assured the President, for 70,000 cane and sugar beet growers, promised that when the quota system came up for action again they would see that refined sugar was dealt with separately, without any discrimi nation against the refineries of the island dependencies, in which they assured him, they would try to improve labor standards. And they promised solemnly ihat the next time they legislated on sugar they will "see to it that the American housewife is pro tected adequately." The President accepted these assurances as "a gentlemean's agreement that the unholy alliance between the cane and beet growers, on the one hand and the seaboard refining mono poly on the other, has been ter minated by the growers," and on that assurance he signed the bill. The Sugar Lobby has for years been known in Washington; as one of the most powerful on Cap itol Hill. The financial and polit ical influence which it has al ways been able to exert whenev er any proposed legislation threat ened the interests of the refiners has been amazing. According to experienced obser- THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA i vers who know pretty well what ever is going on behind the scenes s in Washington, the degree of po litical pressure brought to bear by the sugar interests on officials shaping the Government's sugar ? policy has seldom been matched 1 in Wahsington history. One Cab- inet member, who had previously * boasted that he, at least, was im " mune to lobby influence, finally threw up his hands and quit try -1 ing to fight the sugar crowd. The f pressure was too strong for him. "Mr. Roosevelt thought he knew 1 all there was to know about po -5 litical pressure," commented one r insider, "but he learned some new 5 ways he had never thought of in the sugar fight. Crop Control Doomed to Failure Another agricultural legislative j matter on which the President J yielded to a promise by Congres _ sional leaders looks as if it might J not turn out as the President | would like. That is crop control. : Well-informed sources predict 1 that nothing like the rigid crop | control plan which the President has in mind will have a chance of ' passing by this Congress when it meets again. Reports coming in to Washing [ ton from Senators and Represen tatives having farming constituen , cies indicate that, after talking with the folks, "back home," the members are inclined to the idea , that the present Soil Conservation , Act pretty nearly meets all rea sonable requirements of crop reg ulation. There is growing strength, how i ever, .behind the movement for a two-price standard for the major i export crops, cotton and wheat, particularly. Something like the old "domestic allotment" plan is being talked about. This would be calculated to guarantee the grower a price from products sold for domestic consumption which would assure him a "parity in come," and let him take his own chances on what he could get for any surplus in the world markets. Secretary Hull is opposed Ko this plan. Its opponents say that it would prevent large foreign purchases of American farm pro ducts at any price. Its proponents argue that it is the only way by 1 which American growers can re gain vital foreign markets; that its only alternative is complete Federal regimentation of agricul ture. Enough of the Administration's ! advisers are friendly to the two price plan to suggest that when Congress gets back to work it will, at least be well aired on Capitol Hill. The oft-repeated gossip that Postmaster-General Farley in tends to resign has been revived lately, more insistently than ever. The latest rumor is that he is considering an offer to become president of a well-known auto mobile manufacturing company. CRUTCHFIELD The farmers of this community are busily engaged in harveting their fall crops. Some tobacco crops have done right well since it began to rain, while others are hardly worth the trouble of pull ing and curing. We are very sorry to chronicle the death of Mr. Jess Burton, who 1 lived near here. He passed away | Friday morning, after an illness of several years standing. Dur ing that time he had suffered a great deal and had been confined to his bed a long time. Mr. Bur ton leaves his wife and eight chil dren to mourn his departure. The funeral services were con ducted at Mt. Hermon church Saturday afternoon by Revs. L. W. Burrus and T. S. Draughn. In terment was in the cemetfery, there. There will be a home-coming j at Mount Hermon Baptist church the first Sunday in October. It will begin with Sunday school at 10 o'clock and a sermon at 11 o'clock and will continue thru out the day with a number of, short talks by many others. Din-j ner will be served at the noon hour on the church grounds. Ev erybody is invited to come and bring a well-filled basket and have a good time together. This! church is two miles northwest of I Crutchfield. SWAN CREEK The Sunday school here Is still progressing nicely. There were 120 present Sunday morning. Mrs. Harvey Couch, who under went a tonsil operation last Tues day, is not recovering very rap idly, her many friends will regret to know. The revival at Swan Creek will begin the first Sunday in October with Rev. Mr. Bum garner of North Wilkesboro assisting the pastor, Rev. N. T. Jarvis, in the services. A cordial invitation is extended the public to attend. Miss DeEtte Swaim left Sim day for Winston-Salem, where she has accepted a position. A number of farmers in this ! community are through pulling fodder and curing tobacco. Mrs. Lela Dunnman of Norfolk, ; Va„ and Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Dunnman of Greensboro, were the guests of relatives here last week end. Mr. and Mrs. Jessie Adams at tended the homecoming at Bur lington Sunday. They were ac companied home by their daugh ter, Miss Jessie Lee Adams, who has been studying piano there for the past several weeks. Miss Anna Lee and Paul Swaim of Ronda spent last Sunday here with their grandmother, Mrs. Vina Swaim. Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Long and daughter, Peggy, of Arlington, visited Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Couch Sunday. Mrs. Ethel Myers and children and Mrs. Effie Bell spent last Sunday with Mrs. Glenn Swaim at Ronda. Rev. D. C. Swaim of Winston- Salem was a visitor in our com munity Sunday.
