NEW SUGAR PRICE
WILL Be 10 OR 12C
Decline Of 10 Cents a Pound
Already Effected In
Country
GOVERNMENT WILL
NOT HELP PROFITEERS

They Must Stand Their Own Speculation
Losses-Department of Justice Ready
to Protect Public From Further
Gouging.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3o.-Profteer-
ing sugar jobbers VIII receive no aid
from the government in getting out
of the trap they are now in as re-
suit of the sharp drop in the price Of
sugar. Attorney General Palmer yes
terdav announced that the department
of justice would make no move to pro
teet them against any loss caused by
the decline, but would take every pos
sible prccaution to prevent the public
against being mulcted by high prices.
Despite the fact that ever since the
United States entered the World war
sugar dealers, both wholesalers and re,
tailers as well as refners, have piled up
enormous profits from excessive prices
charged the public, they are entering
a more strenuous protest against the
comparatively slight loss they are now
suffering than did the consumers when
thay were forced to pay as high as 20
cents c pound.
In addition to announcing that
they would get no help from the gov
eminent in so far as helping them to
keep up the price to the retailers and
in turn to the public is concerned, the
attorney general denied that the de
partment has stated that they have
legal recourse against the refiners.
Whatever differences exist between
the r1fners and the jobbers viii have
to be ironcd out between them with
out the public having to suffer. The
department OF Justice is firmly
against giving aid to either side, ae.
cordiug 10 a high official. He added
however, that the department is ready
+ to step in whenever it appears that
there is an attempt being made tC
make the public stand the loss incurred
/ by tine iobbcrs in boarding sugar fol-
higher prices.
! 1t was pointed out that sugar al
ready has declined 10 cents poun,
and there is every possibility of it 60
, ing even lower because the new fal
I crop is ready for market and will sci
al from 10 10 Il cents pound.
