ST SISAL Tim The Slary Is a Sat 8ML con else story of ths sisal trust rhlch may be nssd In any paper with ?r without credit to Farm Implement lavs. A complete monopoly of ths sisal Ibre output of Yucatan. Mexico, has jeen obtained by the Comlslon Reguadora del Mercado d" Henequen committee to regulate the alsal fibre narket), a body created by Yucatan aw. A big advance In the price of binder ! .wine will be one of the results. 1 The Comlelon Reguladora la now | composed of supportera of Qen. Car*anza, head of the de facto government it Mexico. To finance the monopoly :he Comlaton has enlisted the aid of Mew Orleans bankers, who In turn lave prevailed on banks In New York, Chicago and St. Louis to take parts if the large loan required, and which will be secured by warehouse receipts in the fibre stored In New Orleans md elsewhere. A company composed it American bankers and members of the Comlslon has been formed and will receive a large commission on all fibre sales in addition to the Interest paid the banks on loans. The Comlslon Reguladora was crested three years ago to buy surplus stocks of sisal fibre to prevent them Crom being dumped on the market and bearing down the price. The Comlslon fixed a certain price as the one required by planters to malts their crop profitable, but was unable to get sufficient flaagcUl backing in Mexico to carry out its plafi. With the power Carranza behind it the Comlslon a as driven out the fibre dealers and ao Yucatan sisal can be purchased .hrough any agency other thautbj Comlslon. . . --*oe^A\?tV'?i3!3Sr Having a complete monopoly the Comlslon can dictate the price at all times. The price It is now demanding Is 2 cents higher than the price it pronounced profitable to the planters in the beginning. It is 2 cents higher than the price wb4ch prevailed a year ago. It is 1V4 cents higher than the average price paid for sisal by binder twine manufacturers last season; hence, If no farther advance is made, the price of twine lx^JT? to he Increased that much over the "price of 1918. And there is no telling how high the price wllj be raised by the Comls!ofi before the required amount of fibre for next season's twine supply fias been purchased, and In the sue needing years. -* In advancing the price the Comlson has ignored the law of supply and iemand; for last year, notwithstandng the consumption of sisal fibre was he largest In the history of the trade, here was a large surplus In Yucatan. Jnder normal conditions of competlion, such as existed before the Comslon seized the market, the price vould have declined from last year's isure. The price Is therefore arblrary and unwarranted. Thus the American farmer Is to be orced to pay tribute to a fibre trust lnanced with American capital; for intil such time as other fibres suitable or binder twine can be obtained In ufftclent quantities, the farmer must lepend on s'.3al for the greater part of lis twine supply. Conditions make It mposslble to obtain an adequate supily of manila fibre at this time. For very cent added to the price of twine hrough the operations of the sisal nonopoly, $2,500,000 will be added to he binder twine bill of the American armer. Is this monopoly amenable to the ntl-trust laws of the United States? ; f it were purely a Mexican affair, or f the financial backing were obtained ; rom other countries, the United States rould be powerless to Interfere. But ince the capital Is contributed by jnertcan banks from deposits of merlcan depositors, the combination hould be amenable to American law. ustlce to the farmer requires that the overnment take such steps as may oe iken lawfully to prevent the flnanctg of the monopoly with American toney.
