That the largest ships are not tn
most profitable to operate was tn,
opinion expressed. today by official
of the shipping board. who estimated
that it will cost between 100000

size of the crew and the tremendou

ACTION IN SUGAR RELIEF
EXPECTED NEXT WEEK
Attorney General Palmer Will Ex-
ercise Powers Conferred by
President Wilson.

Action by Attorney General Palmer
to increase the sugar supply of the
United States and to allocate the sup
ply now on hand to tide over tn"
present stringency, is expected next
week, as result of the authority
conferred in him yesterday by Presl-
dent Wilson, who by executive order
gave Mr.. Palmer the power exercised py
Herbert Hoover during the war.
Though the order gives the Attorney
General the power to control all foods, II
is expected that for the present he VIII
only use it to insure more eqntaple
distribution of the sugar supply OF the
country.
Mr.. Palmer hopes to arrange Tor
purchase of n large part of the CUBAN
sugar crop by American interests.
The 100000 tons of this comnodltE
that in normal times is bought ana
consumed in the United States Is now
flowing steadily to Europe, but an in
crease of few cents per pound IN
price will keep it on this side OF the
Atlantic. Beet and cane sugar renn-
ers in this country will have the
help of this government in entering
the Cuban market. but they will have
to execute signed agreement to con-
sign all of their purchases to Ameri-
can dealers.
Not only the present shortage. but
the indications of q still further de-
pleted sugar supply next month has
prompted the government TO take
the action announced yesterday.

mands, was submitted by .ohn l.
