SUGAR PROBLEM WORRIES
CUBAN PLANTATION HEADS
HAVANA, Aug. 25—The problem
confronting the Cuban government
as a result of the collapse of the
sugar market is set forth by Diatio
La Marina under the heading “The
Sugar Crop, a Dilemma for Presi
dent Zayas" as follows:
“According to the last weekly
bulletin sugar production, on July
16, reached a total oof 3.508,208
(long) tons. Six huge mills in Ori
ente province which continue grind
ing will swell the total of our crop
to 3.600.000 tons.
“Exports from the present crop
up to July 16 were only 1,552,572
tons, compared with 2,860,716 tons
the same date last year. We have
exported only 44 per cent of the
production, against the 85 per cent
of last year and we still have a
stock close to 2.000,000 tons which ;
as a result of the state of the
American and other markets, it will
be virtually impossible to place dur-1
ing the present year. The coming
crop will be started with a market:
so saturated that the prices will be I
ruinous.
“It appears that the United States
will not need this year even one
millions tons more of our supply
and. as Europe with its high ex
change does not care to pay cash,
the sugar sales commission will not i
be able to find an outlet for our !
surplus, which will exceed one mil-1
lion tons.
“This situation presents the fol- j
lowing dilemma: Leave the sugar
industry to its own fate; allow the
sugar to be sold at two cents a
pound, or at the price available
when a market offers itself; allow
foreign creditors to acquire those
sugar mills still held by Cubans;
allow foreign banks and the sugar
commission to sell to the highest
bidder the sugar plantations and
have, within a year, Cuba’s prin
cipal industry in the same state as
the railways, the telephone system,
the port warehouses, etc., entirely
foreign owned; or do something
practical; have the state, complying
with one of the highest duties for
which it is created, shield this in
dustry. as did the German govern
ment in former times; as Brazil
did more recently with her coffee;
as the Chilean government is doing
now with the nitrate industry.
“To be or not to be; that is the
question for Doctor Zayas.
“To fulfill its duty and protect
the sugar industry, the government
must do one of two things; become
the only vender in Cuba of sugar,
or buy a large part of the actual
crop to avoid the conflict produced
by excess world production. There
is no other solution. And there is
no time to waste.’’
BUILDING MAY BE RESUMED
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25—Offi
cials of the Building Trades Council
have ordered the unions in the Bay
cities to take a referendum fute on
the question of returning to work
on the basis of the terms submitted
by the industrial relations committee
of the Chamber of Commerce. The
acceptance of the terms of settle
ment would end a tie-up in the
building trades of four months and
result in a genera! resumption of
building throughout the bay district.
