Chairman. if that is discrimination. may I say that the beetsugar industry in this country is being discriminated against far more than is either Hawaii or Puerto Rico. In my own State of Wisconsin there are refineries that have been closed for several years. These refineries have not opened even under the JonesCostigan law and probably will not be opened on account of the quota system that will be in effect after this bill is enacted into law. Those refineries have the capacity to refine beet sugar. but under the operation of this bill they will be prevented from operating because we limit the supply of beets. and when you limit the supply of beets in a beet area we are to that extent limiting the operation of the beetsugar refineries. The beetsugar refineries are all forced to curtail their production.
