ARGENTINA HAS
I
BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 15 (by As
sociated Press).—There appears to
be little chance that the United
States or any other country suffering
from sugar shortage will receive any
help for some time to come from Ar
gentina.
The sugar growers of Tucuman, the
principal sugar-producing province, ap
pealed recently to President Irigoyen,
saying they had a surplus of 50,000
tons, and asking him to revoke the
decree forbidding exportation. Labor
organizations raised a protest, declar
ing that exportation would result in
an advance in the price to domestic
consumers, and saying that the sur
plus which the Tucuman growers had
on their hands should be kept for the
benefit of Argentina. Soon after
President Irogoyen announced that
he w;ould not revoke the decree.
Now comes a report from the direc
tor of rural economy and statistics
estimating that this year’s harvest
will amount to 260,000 tons, and say
ing that while there will be a sur
plus of 52,154 tons, it should be re
tained in this country as a reserve
stock.
