ASKS SUGAR TARIFF
CUT BY PRESIDENT
Hull Says Effect of Canada's
Action on Price Shows Way
to This Country.

President Harding is called upon
10 follow the example of Canada and
reduce the tariff on sugar in a state
ment issued yesterday by Represent
ative Cordell Hull of Tennessee,
tariff expert and chairman of the
national democratic committee.
Representative Hull points out that
the recent action of Canada in reduc-
ing the tariff on raw sugar 40 cents
on 100 pounds and on refined sugar
SO cents in 100 pounds Immediately
resulted in reduction in like amount
of the price of refined sugar to
Canadian consumers, as reported IN
the press.
Here is positive proof that a re-
duction of sugar traits results imme-
| diately and directly in a correspond
| ing reduction in sugar prices to con-
/ sumers," he says.
Urges Proclamation.
"1n view of these patent trade and
economic facts" his statement de-
clares. 81 again call upon President
Harding to issue his proclamation in
accordance with the terms of his tele-
gram to the tariff commission in
March, cutting the sugar tariff rates
| 80 per cent. Such action would al
once reduce the price of sugar to
| American consumers from one to two
| cents pound, and would at the same
| time destroy the basis on which wild
sugar speculation has been built up.
! With the world tariff rates of 2i
cents a pound, in effect, reduced 80
| per cent by Presidential proclamation,
Java, the British East Indies. and
| other large producing sugar coun-
tries would find themselves able to
ship and sell to America, at least.
until the price of sugar is brought
down to reasonable profit level.
Estimates Cost.
! Instead of making the simple eA
pertinent of reducing the duty on
sugar which. according to the press.
Canada mas done with Immediately
successful results the Harding ad
ministration is still INDUCING in the
most desperate eXpedients to divert
! attention away from the sugar tariff
| outrage, which is costing the Amer
! can people around S400,000,000 a yeaf
| in excessive and extortionate prices.
Now that Canada has proved thai
reduction of the duty on sugar will
bring corresponding reduction in
the retail price. will President Hard
ing profit by thaA actual demonstra-
ton and do as much for the American
consumers of sugar as the Canadian
government has done for the Canadian
consumers?
