CONTROL OF SUGAR
ABANDONED BY us.
Attempts to Govern Traffic Dis
continued by Government.
BLAME PLACED ON CONGRESS
Attorney General Palmer Declares
Legislative Department Failed to
Extend Life to Sugar Equali-
cation Board, as Requested.

Washington, Dec. abandonment
OF governmental attempts to control
the distribution and sale of sugar was
announced by Attorney General Palm
err.
After the sugar equalization board
Il dissolved December 81, the govern
ment will confine its efforts to prose-
cution of profiteering in sugar, Mr..
Palmer said.
Abandon Importation Plans.
This was said to mean the end of
the program for bringing in fresh sup
plies of sugar from Cuban and other
sources. Apparently little use can be
made OF the new authority conferred
upon Mr. Palmer by the president, who
designated him as food administrator.
"A conference has been held be-
tween representatives of the sugar
equalization board and depart
ment of justice officials in which the
sugar situation was reviewed" Mr..
Palmer said.
THE department has neither the
to control the purchase or distribution
of sugar. The only governmental body
having this power is the sugar equal
ization board, and it's control termin-
ates December 81.
Congress Fails to Act.
1.-The congress, although requested
to do so, has failed to extend the life
of the board. The department of JUS
tice will confine it's efforts in the fu-
ture to the enforcement of the pro-
visions of the Lever control act by
prosecuting all instances of sales of
sugar for an unjust or unreasonable
profit.
"The early termination of the sugar
equalization board will make it inn
possible to set any definite price on
sugar in the future or control its dis
tribution
every sale will be treated on it's

ing an unfair profit or Withholding of

jobber supplying the domestic con-
sumner will be proceeded against under

Prices May Rise Sky High.
Determination of the department Of
justice to abandon it's program was
said to give full leeway for a rise iii
sugar. prices. While federal agents
will continue to watch closely for prof
iteering officials said prosecutions nee
essarily would be limited to punish
ment of dealers whose transactions
