WITHOUT AUTHORITY

"The Attorney General used his power as chief prosecuting officer of the United States for the purpose of fixing maxi mum selling prices of sugar in the state of Louisiana and, in so doing acted wholly without authority of law and in violation of his own construction of his official duty, which precluded him from placing any interpretation upon United States criminal statutes under which possible violators might escape prosecI- ton.
 "On November s, 1919, the Attorney Gen eral had no power to fix prices and his authority in the premises was limited to the prosecution of violators of the pro- visions of the fourth section of the Lever act, public number fl, Sixtyfifth Con- gress.
 ''The legalistic method adopted by the Attorney General was wholly ineffective as a means of price control; it gave ap- parent governmental sanction to ex- tremely high sugar prices, which ex- cited the cupidity of Cuban producers and caused an advance in the Cuban market"
 The majority reported that because Of the great interest in sugar, the commit tee allowed a wide range of testimony in the hope of developing facts which might lead to beneficial legislation.
 The Attorney General was advised in october, 1919, the majority held, that ex- cessive prices were being charged by Louisiana producers, and he directed United States Attorney Mooney to make every effort to reach an agreement with producers and refiners to establish fair price for the new crop. After confer ences with a committee representing pro ducers, the report added, MT Mooney on tained an agreement with them not to sell at over IT and IS cents.
