Commission Starts Work


 Washington, April 6.-The tariff commission today began the drafting of preliminary statement covering the sugar price situation in reply to the presidents request for informa- tion on that subject. It was indicated that probably week would be con- stunned in getting together certain statistics which the commission can obtain from government sources.
 The members of the commission said however that the statement on which they are working would cover in the main patent facts taken from market records and other easily ac- cessible sources. It is not intended to take the place of the more compre- hensive report on which field investi- gators are engaged and which will in clude statistics of production costs and other items entering into the gen. eral price situation. This report probably will not be ready for several months,
 Neither is it expected that the pre- liminary statement will attempt to fix responsibility for the recent rapid in- creases in prices.
