The present upheaval in the world's sugar trade has been brought about by en- forced liquidation of some large stocks of raw and refined sugars held by American and Cuban interests. Its effect in Cuba, where some of the native banks have been forced to suspend payments and where the Government has put into effect a sixty-day moratorium, are of common knowledge. A feature of the disturbance has been the dumping upon the American market of a quantity of so-called *'distressed" sugar, in amount relatively unimportant to the whole supply, but sufficient, nevertheless, temporarily, to disorganize the trade. Part of this "distressed" sugar, forced. into the market under conditions of prac- tical bankruptcy, has found its way into Canada where it has, temporarily, upset trading conditions and made it impossible for Canadian Refineries to market their product except at a ruinous loss. It is pertinent to observe that the low prices quoted for this "distressed" sugar now being dumped in Canada, by no means reflect the true market price in the United States. Only a day or two ago the news- papers announced,that the American Sugar Refineries Company, the largest sugar refin- ers in the States, and who control some 40 per cent, of the production of that country, are selling sugar on the basis of 22% cents a pound, equivalent to 25 cents in Canada, at the present rate of exchange, several cents a pound higher than that contemplated for (Canada in the order made by the Board of (Comiherce, and since set aside. At the present time the plants of four of the largest Canadian Refineries are closed; thousands of men are out of employment; millions of capital are temporarily inactive and unproductive, The refineries have bought or are com- mitted to buy raw sugars to the value of over $60,000,000. Their sales in Canada, due to the conditions before stated, are at. a standstill. It follows that the financing of the raw sugar already under contract, should these conditions continue indefinite- ly, will be an imposible task for the refiner- ies with all their resources. The burden will devolve upon the banks if a eritical situa- ilon comparable to a panie is to be avoided. The question naturally arises, why have the Canadian Sugar Refineries allowed this situation to develop and what justification have they for appealing for public support of their industry in this crisis. The Refineries disclaim responsibility for the situation. They maintain that if they had been left to shape their own course the situation, so far as they are concerned, would not have developed. They frankly admit that had control of their business not been taken out of their hands by agents of the Government, they would now have no shadow of excuse for appealing for protection. What are the facts? For over a year the Board of Commerce, created by the Government, exercised ab- solute control over the prices at which sugar could be sold in Canada, and fixed the price, from time to time, on a basis contrary to all established commercial usages. At the same time the Trade Commission, another agency of the Government, refused permission to the refiners to export sugar, which they might have done and thereby reduced their liabilities very materially without injury to the domestic market. The refiners do not believe, when the situation is fully and fairl 'their request involves Huy seons hardship u ts the Public h at a time at a price materially lower than the price e world's markets, amounting gard for the national interests involved in keepin and. preventing the loss occasioned by unemploy taking into account the to purchase s in Canada for mon prevailing in 'sidering furthermore, the strong Government control went further and even prevented the resale abroad of raw sugars not necessarily needed in Canada. Government control caused the refiners ies to lay in additional stocks of raw sugars after the price had advanced and when it was economically less degirable to buy. Throughout all these transactions, thd refineries vigorously protested against the invasion of their rights and frequently gava warning as to what the ultimate result would be. They were met by assurances that their rights would be fully protected. In meeting their objections the Board of - Commerce promised that the refiners would be protected in a falling market to the'same extent that they had been depriv- ed, by the Board,.of their opportunity to take advantage of a rising market. The Board of Commerce, in a ruling dated June 11, 1920, laid down this prinei- ple: -- \ 'The Board will not recognize prices based on replacement values on a rising market. It will be its duty in good time, as it hopes, to as carefully protect the trader on a falling market by permitting them to average his cost down as it must now carefully protect the consumer in com- pelling the trader to average his costs up." The present appeal of the refiners to the Government and to the Board of Commerce is merely a request for a fulfilment of the pledge thus given. In the same judgment, as illustrating the powers of the Board, it says:-- 'The Board will prohibit all refiners from selling to other than wholesalers. It will prohibit wholesalers from buying from other than refiners. It will prohibit specu- lators from buying or selling at all." In other words, the Board assumed full power to control the price as well as the con- ditions under which sugar was marketed in Canada. i The ruling recently made by the Board and suspended by the Government, pend- ing a further hearing, was in strict conform- ity with the principles the Board had laid down and is in no sense an innovation. Sugar control and restrictions on ex- ports were finally lifted July 1st, 1920, but with the order revoking the restrictions a letter was issued from the Department of Trade and Commerce which practically once more tied the hands of the refineries so that they were not free even then to sell their products in the world's markets, where the price was still some six cents a pound' higher than the prevailing market price in Canada. Had they been left entirely free, even at this late date, to adjust their trade to the new conditions, Canadian refineries could have sold their products abroad at a price that would have protected them against the slump which has since ensued, and enabled them to meet later conditions without ser- ious loss. Again, they were prevented from doing so. a The actual cost of Government control the Sugar Refineries of Canada, irre- Se 'of the losses which now confront _ them in the osal of their present stocks, , is conservatively estimated at from twenty to twenty-five million dollars. The refiners have facts and figures to prove that their losses, if compelled to sell mn Sovibeti ion with "'distressed" sugar dumped into Canada from the States, will run into many additional millions, " The sugar refineries are in a different position from any other class of manufac- turers in Canada, whose products have not heen uhder Government control, and who 2 5 have not been denied the right to a free 'market. ---- av 1 analyzed, that pon the Canadian public. the contrary, ve already enjoyed in having been enabled at times to 10c. or more a pound; having re- the sugar industry actively operating labor and unproductive capital; eon- visability of keeping trade within the national boun- daries jnstead of sending it abroad where a C png ! onal boun anadian dollar is regarded as being worth only 90 cents or less; and having regard, above all, for the very grave necessity of main- taining Canada's industrial, financial and world-wide readjustment, the Sugar mercial equilibrium in these. trying days of - s of Canada believe that both the Government and the people will admit the justice and fairness of their position and will afford them the ® "temporary consideration necessary to meet the situation. if
