The fact that these young women

TO SEEK FAIR

Department of Justice Begins
Probe of Brokers Who
Ignore Licenses.

NEW YORK. May 24-The gov
ernment Will seek 10 obtain fair dis
tributfon of the country's sugar sup
ply through a sweeIing I'm investi-
cation Of sugar brokers who ignore
conditions of their federal licenses,
Arnim W. Riley. special assistant TO
Atty. Gen. Palmer, announced here
Monday night.
Blames Government.
This announcement followed
closely upon testimony by Herbert
Hoover, before the joint legislative
committee investigating profiteering.
He charged the government with
responsibility for the present high
price of sugar because of its failure
TO authorize the sugar equalization
board to purchase the Cuban crop
last year for 1-2 cents a pound.
Another development Monday was
the announcement that the price of
refined sugar had been increased 10
22 IL cents-an advance of three
cents within a week
The investigation. headed by Mr..
Riley, will begin Tuesday when he
viii, preside al what he described
as a series of informal meetings"
with three representative of the
sugar men appointed by their col
leagues last week.
The purpose of these meetings
will be more than just for the pur-
pose of Furnishing violators of the
Lever act" Mr.. Riley said. 1T is

power to remedy the market condi-
tions and obtain a fair distribution
Of the sugar supply, even if it must
be at the expense OF the nom
essential industries
License i'm Effect.
Mr.. Riley said that when sugar
dealers were confronted with the
evidence OF violations OF their war
license agreements, 1t was the usual
thing for them to ATTEMPT TO wrig-
gle out of responsibility by claiming
they thought the war legislation was
no longer in effect.
These licenses are most en-
phatically still i'm effect" Mr.. Riley
said, "and ii is part OF the govern
ments present task to bring this
fact 10 the dealers attention. We
will stop the practice of selling
sugar AT prices DdSeu upon ItDidCt-
ment value instead of cost. Through
this means spectators have been
reselling stocks purchased at nine
and 10 cents for the prices now
current in the market. realizing as
much as 100 per cent profit"
He said that under recent court
decision it was illegal TO do this.
Attacks Cure.
The employment of economic
patent medicines" as a cure for the
high cost of living was attacked by
Mr.. Hoover in his testimony before
the legislative committee. He said
what was required was a definite CO.
ordination of policies Of readjust-
ment and a policy Of seeking rem
edy through studying conditions un-
der the surface of things
In amplifying his opening state
ment Mr. Hoover declared there
could be no question that the
amount OF speculation and profit
eering has been very considerable
He expressed it as his opinion thai
the remedy lay in the reduction and
imitation and in vigorous regulation
by the government.
Mr.. Hoover said he believed the
sugar equalization board should
have been authorized TO purchase
the Cuban crop last year which
would have maintained the retail
rrice this year at about Is cents.
