SUGAR PRICES |
BE REGULATED
BY OUR UNCLE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 (by Asso
ciated Press').—In an effort to meet
the situation resulting from the acute
shortage of sugar, President Wilson
has revived the war time power of the
federal government over the nation’s
food supply.
In a proclamation issued today Presi
dent Wilson gives Attorney General
Palmer and Food Administrator
Hoover broad authority over food j
products. • j
Attorney General Palmer is prepared
to exercise this authority over the
sugar supply and that of other foods.
It is understood that the department
of justice intends to establish a price
of 12 cents a pound, wholesale, for all
sugar except the Louisiana crop, |
which already is quoted at 17 cents, j
It is said this increase is necessary to
prevent a famine.
Early next year the candy and soft
drink manufacturers will have their
supply of sugar cut down.
It is understood that sugar is to re
tail at 14 cents per pound.
