HEAVY PROFITS taxes
URGED BY HOOVER
Food Administrator Declares
PriCe-Fixing Will Not Elm
mate Profiteering

WASHINGTON. July 10.-Govern-
mental price fixing will never eliminate
profiteerng, Food Administrator Hoover
declared today in a letter to Senator
Simmons chairman of the senate finance
committee. Hoover urged heavy proflts
taxes as the only means of returning
to the public money taken from them
by profiteers. He declared, however,
that the price fixing policy will be con-
tinued because of the shortage now eX-
listing in nearly every community.
Hoover's letter was written at Sim
mons request to give the senate infor-
nation as to the probable effect of gov
eminent price fixing on proposed war
tax legislation. Many members reared
price-fixing had in many instances had
so far reduced profits that increases in
war profits or excess profits taxes would
be impossible without injuring business.
Hoover's letter disposes of this the
DRY in the view of Senator Simmons.
Hoover declared, for instance, that IL
the price of sugar had not virtually been
fixed by the food administration through
agreements between producers and re-
finers, sugar would be retailing at 20
cents a pound. This, he said, would
add $500, OOO, 900 year to the country s
sugar bill.
But even with the price fixed, Hoover
said, beet sugar producers will profit
heavily, some making as high as lOO
per cent. The only way the govern
ment can reach these profits, Hoover
pointed out, is through taxation.

The Germans delivered local attacks
in the Vilers-Bretonneux area, but these

On the Flanders front, the British
carried out an operation in the vicinity
Of Merris, northeast of Nieppe wood, by
means of which the line was advanced a
short distance and prisoners taken.
The statement reads:
Increased hostile artillery activity
early last night east of Villers-Breton-
neux was followed by local attacks
which were repulsed. Early this morn
ing the enemy's artillery and machine
guns developed considerable ACTIVITY
from the vicinity of Villers-BretonneuX
to the Ancre.
"a hostile raiding party was driven
off yesterday afternoon south of Buc-
quoy.
During the night advanced our line
a short distance by a successful local
operation in the neighborhood of Merits

FOR COTTON
PRODUCTS ARE FIXED
Reductions of 20 to 80 Per
Cent Are Approved by
President

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Prices for
cotton products showing reductions of
from 20 to 30 per cent, as compared with
quoted market prices, were approved
today by President Wilson. The prices
were agreed upon at conferences between
the price fixing committee of the war
industries board and a committee repre-
senting cotton goods manufacturers.
The new prices are:
36-inch 4Sx4S 800 yard sheeting, 90
cents per pound.
36-inch 56x60 400 yard sheeting, &c
cents per pound.
So 1-2-inch 64x60 $50 yard print
cloth, SO cents per pound.
SO 1-2-inch S0xS0 400 yard print cloth,
"a cents per pound.
Prices on standard wide and sail duck
were fixed at 81 IL and per cent from
the list. and standard army duck 33 FER
cent from the list.
The war industries board announced
that a committee is at work on list
comprising a full line of staple cotton
fabrics for the purpose of establishing
prices. This list is expected to be an
nounced in a few days.
The prices announced today are to re-
main in effect until next October l. Be
fore that date the industry will meet
with the price-fixing committee to agree
upon prices for a further period of nine
ty days.
The new prices affect chiefly cotton
piece goods, of which the government is
a heavy purchaser. They apply, how
ever, to civilian as well as government
purchases.
The price-fxing committees action
with regard to finished cotton is be-
lieved to be the forerunner of price-ix-
ing on virtually all other commodities
of which the government is a large pur-
chaser.
