Is Introduced
Measure in Senate Gives
Board Power to Regu-
late Prices and Sales
and to Place Embargo
Neso Tork Tribune
W0s1J,n0for Eyren,.

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-The Sugar
Equalization Board is given control
over the sugar crops Of 1919 and 1920,
and the President is authorized to
regulate prices, sales and distribution
of sugar, including the placing Of an
embargo on exports of sugar from the
United States until December 81. 1920
under the terms Of a bill introduced
IN the Senate to-day by Senator Nc
Nary. of Oregon, chairman of q sub
committee of the Senate Commerce
Committee recently appointed to draft
Legislation to prevent tremendous in.
crease in the price of sugar.
The subcommittee met only one day
and heard representatives of the Sugar
Equalization Board. The McNary bill
was drafted and agreed upon by the
subcommittee as the solution. It gives
the board the same powers exercised
by the United States Food Administra-
ton so far as sugar is concerned. and
places responsibility Tor the conse1va-
ion OF the sugar supply and its dis
trihution in the President.
Will Prevent Speculation
These powers are extended. the bill
recites, "by reason OF the existing con-
ditlons due to war. 1t is essential
to the national welfare" it continues,
chat action be taken by the govern
ment of the United States to secure an
adequate supply aud equitable distri-
button of sugar for the people of the
United States at reasonable price
for the year ending December 81, 1920 !;
to prevent local or general scarcity,
monopol ization, boarding, Injurious
speculation, manipulations aud private
controls affecting such supply, distri-
button and movement of sugar for the
year ending December 81, 1920"
The President is directed to vote the
stock held for the benefit of the United
States in the United States Sugar
Equalization Board, to control the
sugar crops until December 81, 1920
and to have the board carry out until
that date substantially the same plans
and methods of securing an adequate
supply Of sugar for the people of the
United States and an equitable dis
tribution thereof" as the board has
used in the past.
Board to Make Contracts
The board is further authorized "to
exercise all the powers as have here
tofore been exercised by the United
States Food Administrators. including
the making of such contracts or agree
ments with producers and refners Of
sugar, or other persons, as may be
deemed necessary"
The President is authorized to il
cense the importation, manufacture
storage, sale and distribution of sugar
, until December 81, 1920. No concern
can handle sugar without license
Unreasonable, discriminatory or un-
fair" charging Of prices will result in
having the license revoked.
The President is further empowered
to place q complete or partial embargo
upon the shipment Of sugar from the
United States at any time he thinks
such step necessary. Any vessel
caught trying to carry sugar from the
United States after an embargo has
been declared shall have its charter
revoked and the vessel shall be for
feited to the United States.
