HULL SAYS TARIFF
IS BOOSTING SUGAR;
DEMANDS ACTION

WASHINGTON, March 90. -
While the tariff commission was
preparing for a broadened inquiry
to determine, in accordance with
President FIarding's instructions,
whether present import duties were
'even partially responsible" for high
sugar prices, Cordell Hull, chairman
of the Democratic national commit
tee, declared in a published state
ment today that it had become the
duty of the commission to report
Immediately to the president that
it was partially responsible"
Chairman Hull asserted that on
buyers market" a fifty per
cent reduction in the sugar tariff,
which the president would be au-
thorized to make under flexible
provisions of the tariff act, would
certainly reduce the price between
two and three cents a pound"
Although the president finds it
hard to believe that the tariff is
responsible even in part for the
high price of sugar." Mr.. Hull said,
"the tariff commission should,
nevertheless, do it's plain duty in
the matter, in order that the pres
ident may carry out his promise
and thus give the public some
measure of relief.
when the government gets In
distress as a result of this tariff
initiation on sugar as well as other
commodities, it should do some
thing to relieve the situation and
not submissively continue to take
it's share of the loot"
Chairman HulPs statement fol-
lowed others on the sugar situation
made yesterday by Secretary Hoov-
er and Senator Simmons, Democrat,
of North Carolina, who led the
fight in the senate against the ad-
ministration tariff bill.
The commerce secretary, discuss
ing the probable effect of high
sugar prices in a letter to Repre-
sentative Dallinger, Republican,
Massachusetts, predicted they would
result in decreased consumption and
increased production. Senator Sim
mons, discussing high sugar prices
from the tariff angle, declared they
were due to the preferential duty
on Cuban sugar which he said
made it possible for spectators to
corner" the country's sugar sup
ply because no supplies can be
drawn from Europe on account of
