the year 1919 varied greatly in different parts of the state and on different plan tations. In some cases the loss of crop was very heavy, in others it was com paratively light, so that 8. fixed price for sugar which would yield only fair and reasonable profit to the producer whose cost of production did not exceed the gen. eral average for the state would permit a certain class of producers to make excess sive profits and would deprive another class of the fair and reasonable profit to which it was entitled under the law.
 Under the arrangement effected by the attorney general with the committee rep resenting the sugar planters of Louisiana immunity from prosecution for profiteer- ing was conferred upon any and all per sons who might sell at or under the prices fixed by the tttorney general whether such prices were in violation of the Lever act or not.
 "The attorney general used his power as chief prosecuting officer of the United States for the purpose of fixing maximum selling prices of Sugar in the state o1 Louisiana, and in so doing acted wholly without authority of law and in violation of his own construction of his officia duty which precluded him from pl3cine any interpretation upon United State: criminal statutes under Whlcn posSlpls violators might escape prosecution.
 "On the Sth day of November, 1919 the attorney general had no power to ii prices and his authority in the premises was limited to the prosecution of violator of the provision of the 10th section o the Lever act, public No. 41, 66th con | gress.'
 The legalistic method adopted by tn attorney general was wholly ineffectiv as a means of price control; it gave ap parent governmental saction to extrem high sugar prices, which excited tn cupidity of Cuban producers and cause | an advance in the sugar market"
 The majority report that because c the great interest in sugar the commit tee allowed a wide range of testimony the hope of developing facts which mlgt lead to beneficial legislation.
