Chairman Hull Shows
Tariff Basic Cause
of Sugar I Yofiteerin*
In a statement issued by Cord*l
liu.l, chairman of the Democratic Xj
tional committee, on the report of th
tariff commission to President Haid
ing, Chairman Hull made H denr ar.
emphasized the*point that the taii:
is the underlying cause of the pie en
high price of sugar, without whic.
the orgy of speculation and profiteer
ing would not be possible. He calae
attention to the fact that the taul
commission did not dare deny Ik.
the tariff at least incremsed the pr«
of sugar ia the amount of l.i( cent
a pound and that the tariff of 2~t
cents on other foreign sugar is pro
hibitive.
"What li spinas I. therefore." say
Chairman Mull, "wua that America' I
and fslisi ssim Mpaa, «n»i
much of the domestic beet crop mar
keted and knowing that Java an*! th
other distant sugar producing c-»u
tries could not aid would not t»cd
take to pay fi eight and 12l> cet.t
tariff ami bring sugar to America t«
compete with American and lalai
sugar, proceeded during Jaiuary an
up to this date to booar surar prare
with the knowledge that there won'
be no world competition."
The statement of the tariff coaare**
sion that a reduction of the tariff of
sugar would not necessarily reduce th>
price. Chairman Hull calls no* evo
gnwl nonsense.
In a later statement Chairman Hut
suggested that the sugar karoos an
other beneficiaries of the profiteering
tariff should be prohibited by law fn-n
making campaign coatrihutions to p»
Htical parties. By abolishing this «V
bauching .and corrupting practice, b
believes a repetition of this utiorj
sugar scandal could be prevented I
the future.
