[President Heber J. Grant Diary] Brother Lorenzo Elggren called and made an appeal to me, as he is representing a big candy company, that in my conference talk I do not discriminate against the candy people. He told how many carloads of beet sugar they bought for candy, and that McDonalds and Sweets use a lot of cane sugar, that the company he represents is four or five times as big as both of them and has never bought anything but beet sugar, thus sustaining home industry. I told him I would forget to make a strong appeal for home manufacturing, although I said, 'You know, Brother Elggren, it would really be better for the people if you could not sell any candy here, because it would furnish that much more employment.'
