On a seventeen thousand acre plan¬
tation in the Everglades section, on a
line between West Palm Ec-ath and
Fort Myers and about 100 miles north
of Miami, there is now actually being
produced sugar cane surpassed by none
other in the world. In fact, it is there j
that scienticts developed a cane which :
resists the dreaded mosaic disease;
which some years ago almost devas- ■
tated the Louisiana sugar «ane crop, !
The Florida development has Jong j
ago tion passed and is the stage producing of experiments- | \
now raw sugar
at a lower unit cost than can be done j
in proximateiy Hawaii, or Porto Rieo, and at ap- 1
the same cost as in the ]
Philippines. That is true, Florida con- ]
gressmen say, in spite of the fact that I
the Florida sugar producers pay an !
American scale of wages much higher 1
than is paid in “off shore” areas, and 1
in addition to that they furnish free >
housing for sugar farm workers, free
schools for the workers’ children,
food, merchandise and other supplies
at cost, free medical care, hospitaliza¬
tion, ar.d recreation facilities. The j
Florida wage scale is said to be higher i
than the average farm wage scale of i
this country.
Florida’s congressional representa
tives point out that in spite of ail this,
under A A A regulations, last year.
Florida sugar farmers were permitted
to produce only 89,258 short tons of
raw .sugar, whilst thousands of acres
of the richest sugar farming land in
the world in the Everglades were
forced to lie idle. It is estimated that
if it were not for quota restrictions,
Florida give employment sugar farmers at good alone couid to j
wages i
more than 100,000 workers.
The Florida sugar growers have just !
announced the position they will take
in the approaching sugar question, aa
follows.
1. They are opposed to any and all
processing and excise taxes on
sugar that will increase the cost
of this vital necessity to the
American people.
2. They are opposed to benefit pay¬
ments to sugar producers, as
] being unnecessary and unwar¬
j ranted. They believe the sugar
Industry should stand on its own
• feet.
; 8, There sjiould be no restriction
; on continental production of a
non-surplus crop. Less than 25%
of our sugar requirements are
produced in continental United

Sugar, 8 necessary commodity over
which wars have been fought, prom¬
ises to hold a prominent place in th*
legislative spotlight in Washington
this winter. Sugar usually holds the
boards before Congress for a time
each session. When the sugar ques¬
tion comes up there is always a big
parade of figures, statements and sta
ti dies under the banners of Cuba,
Porto Rico, Hawaii, the Philippines,
\: ,-gin Islands, ar.d other so-called
“off shore” areas, from which this
country, for some reason ,or other,
buys seventy-five per cent of the su¬
gar its citizens use.
Ninety-five per cent of the cane su¬
gar used in our coffee and for other
sweetening is purchased from the
same areas. It is over these facts that
the annual sugar war in Congress is
waged. Congressional committees
hold hearings and Senators and Rep¬
resentatives make speeches on one or
another of the several sides- of th*
question. which is to
' The big question sure
come up early in the debate is why
continental American sugar farmers
are permitted to produce only five per
cent of the cane sugar used in this
country. It will be argued that when
the United States buys from “off
shore” areas sugar which this coun¬
try could produce if permitted to do
so, the United States has the sugar
and the “off shore” people have the
money, but if ccntinentaj American
sugar fanners were permitted to grow
as much sugar cane as they can, the
United States would have both the su¬
gar and the money, and the money
would be spent in this country.
Labor and employment questions
will ajso be brought into the debate
with an inquiry as to why the Amer¬
ican sugar farmer, who employs
at American wages, should be
excluded from a market that
to him.
