MEREDITH WILL BE A DELE,

Mr.. Meredith Is himself one OF the
"big four" in Iowa's delegation to
the Democratic Convention az san
Francisco. While he has worked hard
to have the delegation go unin-
structed, ne is at the same time eager
to have Iowa support ultimately the
candidacy OF William @. McAdoo on
the floor OF the convention. Other
members OF the Iowa delegation are
trying TO have Iown's delbgHtes in

tSPosiAl Prom a San Corrrrpouien. Of The
Evening World

Evening World
WASHINGTON, Aprll S.-As the
result OF the failure Of the United
states Government to buy the Cuban
sugar crop when it was available at
II cents, Representative Tinkham OF
Massachusetts, to-day predicted that
consumers win soon be paying 20 to
20 cents a pound for the commodity.
This incidental statement was made
before a subcommittee of tho House
Judiciary Committee. which is con-
sidering Tinkham's request for an in
vestigation into the sugar situation.
especially with respect to Attorney
General Palmer's action in fixing the
price of Louisiana sugar at II cents.
Representative Whnley, a member
of the subcommittee, said that with
actual hostilities ended there was no
legal authoriy under which the Presi-
dent could have purchased the Cuban
crop as n measure OF National de-
fense."
To-day's session OF tho suo-com-
mittee was taken up by an argument
OF Representative Tinkham that the
circumstances connected with the
Louisiana price fixing warranted a
Congressional inquiry. The Massa-
chusetts represe ntative contended
that the Attorney General had con-
travened his authority in Louisiana
since there was no Presi sidential proc
lamation setting forth the necessity
for price fixing in this instance and
the intention to put it into effect and
10 licenses issued.
Mr. TinlSham insisted that when
Attorney General Palmer comes be-
fore the committee he be categori-
cally asked as to his authority for
fixing the price Of the Louisiana sugar
crop.
Chairman Hustled Of the sub com
mlttee raised the point that the
President had no more authority to
fx the price Of the 1919 crop in Lu-
isiana than he had to purchase the
CUpan sugar after the nominal estab-
hshment OF peace.
A report to Congress by Attorney
General Palmer. embodying CORE
spondence between United states At
torney Mooney at New Orleans and
the Department Of Justice, detailing
negotiations which, with sugar plant
ers, was read:
The Attorney Generals renort con-
cDuded With the following statement:
These kilograms do not at ali mean
that We .fixed the price, but do mean
tina, under all no special cinoum-
stances existing az TO the Louisiann
crops. this department was willing TO
conccde tina prosecutions would be IN
effecual and unBuccessfW II based
upon contention that any price less
than II cents per pound for yellow
clarified and l6 cents per pound for
plantation granulaed was an excess

ney uenerai Galmer, who Ia now ab-
sent In his Presidential campaign, be-
