CONTINUATION OF
SUGAR EQUAL|z|NG
BOARD NECESSARY
Otherwise Cuban Crop Will
Increase to Is or 20 Cents,
the Attorney General
Declares

washington, November 17-Unless Con-
gress continues the sugar equalization
board during 1920 the price Of Cuban SUI
gar to American consumers will increase
to Is or 20 cents a pound, Attorney Gen.
erai Palmer said in letter to Senator
McNary, republican, oregon, which the
senator made public today.
Mr.. Palmer expressed the hope that the
bill offered by Senator McNary to con-
tinue the board in existence would be
enacted.
Regarding the agreement between the
attorney general and producers for prices
of II and IS cents for Louisiana sugar,
Mr.. Palmer wrote:
ut was considered by this department
advisable to establish a maximum price.
Understand this is not a fixed price. and
competition has the same field as before
The same factors that would reduce the
price by the importation of Cuban sugars
in competition with beet and Louisiana
sugars still exist, but these maximum
prices as now established ana agreed
upon could be taken as prima facie evil
dence in cases where price in excess
of these prices is charged
Replying to an inquiry by Senator Nc
Nary as to what steps were being taken
by the sugar board to control prices,
President Zabriskie said dealers were re-
quested to confine themselves to fair
and reasonable profits and that the de-
partment of justice was prosecuting those
exacting 'inordinate profits"
