Constitutional Prohibition Untouched.
BY the decision the government will

before Jan. 16.
No decision was rendered on the
case involving the constitutionality OF

In passing however, Associate Jus.

Washington, Nov. o. President
Wilson has placed the government
again in control of the nations food
supply by transferring the authority
of Food Administrator to Attorney
General Palmer.
Revival of the wartime functions
of Herbert c. Hoover as food admin
istrator resulted directly from govern
ment efforts to avert a famine in
sugar; but the powers delegates to
the head of the Department of JUS
tice will be used also in an effort to
put down the ever mounting cost of
living.
For the present the attorney gen.
eral will not put into operation all Of
the machinery permitted under the
executive order but, should conditions
demand it, the full pressure Of all the
power vested in him will be exerted.
Mr.. Palmer's staff will begin imme-
diately to build up sugar distribute
ing system which will allocate all
sugar stocks in the country. 1t will
provide an equitable system of dis
tributing supplies and will defeat any
concentration or boarding, officials
said.
IL Cents Wholesale Planned.
Plans tentatively decided on provide
for increasing the price of all sugar,
excepting the Louisiana crop, for
which a price of II cents already has
been fixed, to IL cents pound whole
sale. Through this increase new
sources of supply are expected to be
opened. With assurances that a fair
margin of profit, said to be about $1.54
hundred pounds, would be allowed,
sugar ref1ners are ready to enter the
Cuban markets and purchase all avail
able stocks, it was stated. Thus,
officials believe, the increase in the
price will avert a shortage which
threatens to become famine during
the next 60 days.
Immediate action also is contem.
plated in curtailing the consumption
of sugar by manufacturers whose prod.
ucts are not regarded as essential
food. This will apply particularly to
soft drink dealers and candy manu-.
facturers.
