PRESIDENT ORDERS PROBE.
Ready to Reduce Sugar Duty ii
Tariff Is to Blame.
By the Associated Press.


ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, March Is
Investigation by the United States
Tariff Commission into the relation O:
the tariff rates OH sugar to the pres
cnt increased sugar prices was ordered
yesterday by President Harding. The
inquiry was requested by the President
in a telegram addressed to Thomas o.
Marvin, chairman of the Tariff Com
mission.
One More Probe Started.
The presidential order, IT was ex-
planned, will result IN enlisting
another official agency in the govern
ment's endeayors TO ascertain re-
sr visibility for the gradual increase
in sugar prices starting early in Feb
ruary, when sugar was selling at 5
and cents a pound retail as com
pared with present quotations run
ming as high as 12 cents.
The Department of Commerce for
several weeks has been studying the
sugar situation and several days ago
Acting Attorney General Seymour an
nounced iII Washington that the
Department of Justice was making
an inquiry which would continue
until responsibility was fixed.
MIR. Harding was said to be firmly
determined that the government shall
do all in Its power not only to prevent
further increases, but to bring down
, the present quoted prices should they
be found unjustified. He gave some
attention to the sugar situation be-
fore leaving Washington and Is un-
derstood to have had several com
munications from various officials in
the capital on the subject since his
arrival in Florida.
The President was represented as
unconvinced that the present Ford
ney-McCumber tariff rates of 1.76 cents
pound on Cuban raw and 2.20 cents
on other sugars was 10 blame for the
increased prices. which Senator Ladd,
republican. North Dakota, in a state
ment issued few days ago said were
costing the American people at the
rate of 100000 900 annually for every
cent advanced
