DIPLOMATS RELIEVED BY
POLES DEFEAT OF REDS

= Official Washington today is ex-
hibiting visible signs OF relief at the
t-urn of the tide in Poland's favor in
it's life and death struggle with the
red hordes. of Soviet Russia which
are clamoring at the gates OF War
saw. -'.
Official advices from Warsaw
reaching the State Department and
the embassies have borne out earlier
press dispatches telling of the sue
, csss of the Polish counter attacks,
and the belief was expressed in every
quarter that the immediate crisis had
passed.
"Unless the soviet army is able TO
launch a strong and successful coun-
ter attack" said the latest cable from
, the American legation at Warsaw, "it
is believed that 1t has met with a
serious defeat by the Poles"
The diplomatic situation has re-
mained unchanged during the past
twenty-four hours. The State De
partment Is still awaiting the reply
OF England Italy, and. japan to it's
note, asking for "a declaration by the
allied and associated powers that the
territorial integrity and true boun-
daries of Russia shall be respected"
officials here feel that with the for
tunes Of war veering toward Poland
! the time Is most auspicious for the
presentation of such a definite declar-
alton in a united manner to the Rus
sian people.
The result OF the meeting OF Lloyd
George, premier Of England, ana
, Premier Giolitti. of Italy, at Lucerne
last night is awaited here with con-
siderable interest in diplomatic
circles, ..,... ..
The meeting was undoubtedly ar
ranged. officials say, for discussion
Of the United States note, and the for
nation Of reply that will meet the
require frieflts Of Secretary Colby's s
note and still be consistent with the
attitude their governments have
taken toward Soviet Russia which, in
the final analysis is similar. Officials
here are confident that both premiers
will make their reply now without
undue delay.
State Department officials still de-
cline to disclose what put
side Of the declaration Of good VIII
toward the people of both Russia and
Poland, have been taken to assist Po-
land. All inquiries on the subject are
courteously avoided with the remark:
I'VE are not ready yet to make any

COST RETAILERS - CENTS.
There is not a pound OF sugar in
Washington which did not cost
TWENTY-FIVE cents to the retailer.
said the head OF one OF the larg"
chain store systems this morning.
THE loss to the dealers wiz run int"
hundreds of thousands of dollars
Meanwhile, the refiners have made
fortunes"
This merchant official very frank
~ blamed the Department or Jus
tice for the position in which inc
wholesalers and large retailers flno
themselves. The trouble was dated
hack to the ruling of the department
last spring permitting Louisiana re-
finers to charge is cents for their
product to compensate for a short
crop. This precipitated price furry
in the Cuba crop, as a result OF when
the price of raw sugar, duty pald IN
New York, rose as high as - cents.
Under another ruling, the depart
ment allowed refiners a margin OF 10
a hundredweight between raw and re-
fined sugar, where they had pre-
yiously been content with 30 cents.
and limited the retailers gross proflt
to cents. a margin at which the re-
taller, according to this official, could
not do business.
REFINERs "ON HIGH TIDE"
Renners were placed in a position
through the condition OF the market,
where they could force wholesalers
and large direct-dealing retailers to
place orders for delivery months in
advance. and this sugar is now com
ing in at the old price, while the
break in the raw market allows the
retlneTS TO swirl oul on hiSh t''>'
The action of the Federal Reserve
Board in calling loans on groups or
comm odities including sugar has
placed the loaded-up dealers in
position where they must unload. and
competition has forced the price as
much as cents below actual cost
price.
THE damage has been DONE" said
the merchant
He declined to predict whether the
price would go lower.
