Argonne Post Weekly of Des Moines,
Iowa:
There are no 10 reasons-nor in
deed any other number of reasons.
why a former service man should be
either a hide-bound Republican or
Democratic partisan. l cannot re-

on this point before proceeding.
"Cncompromising partisanship
would dry up the we'll springs Of

Because they have constantly

Because it's candidates have never

BIG LOSSES BY
SUGAR DEALERS

Boston, Sept. oU-Ihe drop IN the
price of sugar has caused shrink
age in value of at least $3.50 100000
according to an estimate made TO
Attorney General Allen today by Ed
win +. Atkins, head of a local sugar
firm and an official of several of the
largest companies in this country
and Cuba. Stocks of sugar in this
country now are enormous. he SAID.
He estimated them at S2,OOO,Ooo
tons.
The attorney general, who is MAX
ing an inquiry into the sugar sltua-
ton with special references to re-
cent high prices, expressed the opin-
ion that when the drop In prlce
came the American Sugar Refining
Company should have absorbed
some of the loss as means OF help
ing small dealers who had stocked
up at the higher prices. The attor-
new general said he had knowledge
that the company Immediately be-
fore the decline from high prices
made it compulsory for customers to
do business on written contracts
STIMULATING prices. Mr.. Atkins said
that absorption of part of the deal
ers' losses by the American company
might have forced it into bank
ruptcy.
The unusually high prices Tor sug-
ar, the witness stated, were due to
competition. speculation and in
creased operating costs. with
speculation eliminated and normal
prices allowed, he thought it might
be possible to sell sugar to the con-
sumner at Is Il cents a pound.
Between the time when sugar sold
for six and one-half cents pound
and the date it reached % IL cents,
Mr.. Atkins said. fortunes were won
or lost overnight" by the crowds of
spec,;iators who went into the mar
ket to "clean up" He said one es-
tate lost $3,O0O,0OO by a drop in the
market.
A year ago, he said. he opposed
putting the producers price over o
IL cents pound, This would have
made the rate to the customer APP
proximately L. cents.
The witness said the American
producers in Cuba attempted to
keep down the price of sugar when
it started to soar, but they were I'M
able to do so because of the bidding
by English and Canadian buyers.
Shortly afterward the impression
became general that a shortage
would develop and continue for a
long time. Immediately, according
to Mr. Atkins, speculation started on
an enormous scale, and sugar was
bought and sold a number of times
over until the price to the consumer
went to unprecedented heights.

There need be no doubt about
