THE ANSW Err.

Shortage, the law of supply and de-
mand and the war are several reasons
advanced by the sugar kings" for the
high cost of sugar. They say there
will be no material reduction until the
war ends. Some admit that specula-
tive gambling on the Coffee Exchange
helped to keep the price soaring.
Some fellows We're shrewd enough to
buy low and sell high" said one, "and
there you are. What can be done
about it?'
Ne1 ertheless. the World says 1t has
discovered that thousands of COM
plants from all parts Of the country
have been forwarded to Washington
demanding an investigation, and that
an informal inquiry has been made.
The informal inquiry will probably turn
into an official one.

This is the story revealed by par
tial inquiry into the high cost of sugar
made by the World. The biggest bulk
of this huge profit went to the Gu
ban American Sugar company, the
American Sugar Refining company. the
National Sugar Refining company, the
Arbuckles and the Federal company.
An official ofone of these COM
panies frankly admitted that the
profits were large, but claimed
that, in some cases, the money was
made in investments as well as
from the Increased cost of the
product.
Another official admitted that the
labor cost of producing raw sugar had
not been nearly as high as labor cost
in other lines.
Recently there has been a drop in the
cost of the raw product of nearly 1A
cents, with only slight reduction N
the wholesale cost which has not ma

Three weeks ago raw was up to 6%

over cents. The wholesale
drop was less than q Of a cent, the
more recent wholesale quotations being
a fraction over cents pound. Re-
