A bill in equity was filed

York Coflce and Sugar Exchange, Inc., and the lNew l
junction against transactions in sugar in either exchange.
There was an immediate reaction in the sugar market. Heavy
liQuidation followed the news. Sugar options declined .30 to 73
points. Sugar securities also broke about 2 points.
The government is toibe congratulated in its action. Gambling
in all food essentials should be stopped and ofienders punished.
A year ago raw sugar was 2.5 a pound; \Vednesday it was 6.25
cents. With refined sugar approaching 10 cents a pound wholesale,
the demand for a full explanation of the causes of therecent sky-
rocketing market will be redoubled. Congress before its adJourn-
ment registered the conviction, which is elementary, that speculation
is playing an important part in a rise which has cost American con-
sumers hundreds of millions of dollars—nearly half a bllllOi‘l if the
market stays up.
Mr. Stanley Baldwin was beyond doubt correct in telling the
Commons that the world-wide‘rise in sugar is largely due to in-
creased American consumption. He need not have dragged in pro-
hibition to explain that consumption. Year by year we eat more.

climbing from the five~million-tons-a-year market to six million tons
a year. One of the sure indices of prosperity in the United States
is an increased demand for sugar—sugar on the table, in candy, in
ice cream, and iced drinks. A second factor is the reduced acreage
in Cuba following the terrific slump of a year ago. Everybody
advised Cubans to go in for mixed agriculture, and some of her
bankrupt sugar growers did. The same slump in sugar deprived
Europe of its incentive to restore beet sugar growing. A third factor
unquestionably is speculation.
And the tarigi \Vell, in spite of protectionist denials, the tarifi
is unquestionably a factor in a double sense. It adds its direct and
immediate percentage to the charge for every pound. Indirectly it
adds even more. It provides, in the first place, an excuse and cover
for the speculative advance; in the second, it is thereto cushion

in from the East Indies or elsewhere to break the market.

Present Day Wonders
\\'e used to be told when we were boys: “It's great to be a
soy today. The world is opening up as never before. The telephone.
Fast trains. Steam heat. The general use of electric lightsl“
But how much greater is it to be a boy today. \Vith the wonders
of wireless only beginning to be unravelled. \Vith the conquest
of the air yet in its initial stages.
We can remember the first airplane flight. It was a flight only
by courtesy of the name. It was a hop. Fifty or sixty feet in dis-
tance and at a height of four feet. But it was thrilling.
And now we read that Lieutenants Macrcady and Kelley have
advanced the actual state of aviation by proving that a plane can
make a continuous flight of two days and a night. The fact that
they broke a world record means little beside the indication that
plane and gasoline can carry on for 2,500 miles without landing
and without fuel renewal. When the N04 made her famous trans-
Atlantic trip she flew only 1,200 miles on her longest hop. The
almost equally famous T2, the ship of the present record holders,
more than doubled that distance, flying at about the same speed.
Around this question of endurance swings the argument as to
the practicability of long flight passenger service. Now that motors
and gasoline supply prove serviceable for hope of thirty-six hours,
some believe the chief obstacles are overcome. Faster bying, they
say, will come later, and the prsent record of 2,541.2 miles will be
stretched within the same period of elapsed flying time to connect
New York and San Francisco or New York and England.
Translating this latest flight around a triangular fifty kilo
course into a cross country trip, one realizes the great area which
planes span from a single central starting point. Lieutenants Mac-
ready and Kelley might have flown from San Francisco to Honolulu,
or from San Francisco to either Columbus, Ohio, New Orleans or:
Detroit. They might have gone from New York to Panama. Such!
excursions as this will make our continent shrink.
