Sugar Warehouse, Sagua La Grande, Cuba. CARLOS ALFERT & CO. The above photograph shows the new warehouse of Carlos Alfert & Co. at Sagua la Grande, Cuba. This is one of the largest sugar warehouse in Cuba, having a capacity of 125,000 bags. It is of concrete and steel construction and was completed in May, 1918. Steamers load alongside dock. CUBAN EXPORT COMMITTEE ON SUGAR Action was taken by the Sugar Equal- ization Board on February 6 looking to the authorization of sales of Cuban raw sugar direct to countries other than the United States and the Allies. For this purpose a special committee was ap- pointed consisting of Robert B. Hawley and Manuel Rionda, both members of the Cuban Commission, and Edwin P. Shat- tuck, of counsel to the Sugar Equaliza- tion Board. The committee will have its head- quarters in Havana and transactions under its authority will be handled direct with the purchasing countries, but will be subject to the authorization of the Sugar Equalization Board in order that such sales may not interfere with the pro- vision of adequate supplies of Cuban sugar for the United States and the allied nations. An announcement was issued by the Sugar Equalization Board on February 7th relating to this action, as follows: "At the earnest request of the Cuban Government the Equalization Board has appointed a committee, to be known as the Cuban Export Committee, consisting of Mr. Robert B. Hawley, Mr. Manuel Rionda, members of the Cuban Commis- sion, and Mr. Edwin P. Shattuck, to act in behalf of the Equalization Board in the matter of shipments of raw sugar direct from Cuba to nations other than the United States and those represented by the Royal Commission on the Sugar Sup- ply.
