The Truth About Sugar The Sugar Industry of Canada is confronted with a serious situation, and has ap- pealed to the government to come to its assistance. Ignorance of the circumstances leading up to this situation has led many people to enter objections to the measures of relief that have been proposed. The purpose of this statement is to put the plain facts before the people of Canada, . in the belief that at heart they want to play fair, and are willing to accord a square deal to everyone. trade has een Throughout all these transactioris, the rced liquidation of some large stocks of upheaval in the world’s sugar refineries vigotously pro : : tieir rights, and frequently gave the ultimate result would be.

The present appeal of the refineries t tha ' 1 oo . : ne the Board of Commerce is merely a request for a fulfilment of the pledge thus given. In the same judgment, ag illustrating the powers of the Board, it says: : - “The Board will prohibit all refineries from selling to other than wholesalers. It will prohibit wholesalers from buying from other than refineries. It will prohibit speculators from buying or At the present time the plants of four*of the largest Canadian fineries are closed, thousands of men have been thrown out of and millions of capital are temporarily inactive and selling at all.” ive bought, or are committed to buy, raw su- i over $60,000,000.
