sci Of the national association Of own

and declared that under the minimum

would have turned in a surplus for di-
vision between the public and the en-

Mr.. Walter said the financial struc-
ture of credits depends upon the legis-

with the railroad problem. The asso-

Palmer Says II Cents a Pound is
Enough For Sugar.
Washington, Aug. 14,-Thru license
regulations and the power Of the food
administration to procure the cancel
lation Of licenses the department OF
Justice hopes to reach some cases OF
profiteering that would be more diff
cult to reach thru the food control.
This position of the department was
made plain in circular sent to dis
trict attorneys today. The circular
said:
Where sugar Is retailing for more
than II cents pound it indicates that
some one is making an unreasonable
profit.
"All dealers in sugar, except hetail-
ers doing a gross, business Of 100000
or less" said the circular. "are still
subject to license under the Washing
ton food control act" In addition, tho
regulations governing dealers in sugar
prohibit the licensees from charging
an exhorbitant or unreasonable stor-
age charge.
