Mc HENRY SAVINGS AND LOIN ASSOCIATION Member: Fideral Savings aid Loa lasarascs Corporattii 3611 W. Elm Street/ McHenry / 385- 3000 When it comes to sugar, the Congress must assume a large measure of responsibilty for making the American consumer "pay through the nose." The federal controls on sugar date back to the Sugar Act of 1934. Between that date and 1962 this legislation helped maintain the economy of Cuba, while at the same time it provided generous substitutes for the American cane and sugar beet farmers^ At the present time, the Sugar Act results in a price of imported raw sugar about three times that of the world price. In addition, domestic producers of sugar beets and sugar cane operate under a stricter quota system than is applied to any other agricultural product. An artificial balance of 60 per cent domestic production to 40 per cent imports is maintained as a result of the existing law. With an embargo on Cuban sugar, thirty other sugar-producing nations have been assigned q.uotas under a complicated Ti&ririula that few can understand. It has been suggested that wealthy merchants and plantation owners are the principal beneficiaries of the existing system--and not the rank and file individual in the thirty nations involved. In fact, it is reported that the workers on these foreign sugar planations receive wages of from 7 cents to 30 cents per hour in contrast to the average American sugar worker's rate of $3 per hour. An unsavory aspect to the' pending legislation is the influence which lobbyists have had in the final legislative proposal. Sugar lobbyists who appeared before the House Agriculture Committee receive fees of from $3,000 to $55,000 per year. Orite may wonder what effect these highly paid influence peddlers have had on the final quotas allocated to their clients -- the thirty countries from which we purchase sugar. Congressman Paul Findley of Illinois, a member of the House Agriculture committee, is the chief critic of the sugar bill. Congressman Findley asserts that appropriate amendments to the measure would result in saving the nation and the American consumer $280 million per year or more th»n $1 billion over the five-year period covered by this measure. . , . The whole sorry subject is being aired during these final days of the first session of the 89th Congress. The extension of this Sugar Act may be sweet news to the sugar producer, but it strikes a sour note with the American consumer, including this member of Congress. At this writing the outcome of the sugar bill is certainly in question, with final action expected to come in a lastminute House and Senate conference.
