HARDWICK DOES NOT ...
BLAME SUGAR TRUST

SAVANNAH. Ca. Sept 10. The
high price of sugar is not the result OF
manipulation on the part Of the Amer
lean Sugar Refining Company, but Is
the direct result OF lack OF production
Of raw sugars, according to Congress-
man liardwlck, chairman of the Con-
gressional committee investigating the
so-called sugar trust.
The fact that the Federal Sugar Re-
filming Company, the opponent of the
alleged sugar trust, has been putting
up the price Of Its product to n figure
even greater than that of the American
Sugar Refining Company shows that
the Increased cost IL from a lack OF
production" said Hardwick today.
while my committee will investigate
the added cost of sugar when we meet
again in October, I have no idea that
we will find 1t comes from the efforts
of the trust to make the people pay
more for sugar than 1t Is worth. The
Cuban crop Is short, the European beet
sugar crop Is short and so is the Amer
lean beet sugar crop. II Is natural that
there should be an advance"
