HARDING WILL
CUT TARIFF ON
RAW SUGAR
PRESIDENT SAYS EEADY IF DU
TY "EVEN PARTIALLY RE
SPONSIBLE" FOR RISE. I
COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE
At Request of President Immediately
Department of Justice Also
Making Investigation.
St. Augustine, Fla., March 27.
Investigation by the United States
tariff commission into the relation
of the tariff rates on Bugar to the
present increased sugar prices was
ordered today by President Harding.
The inquiry was requested by the
president in the following telegram
addressed to Thomas O. Marvin,
chairman of the tariff commission:
"Have tariff commission make an
immediate inquiry into the relation
of the sugar tariff to the current
prices of that commodity. It is diffi
cult to believe that the duty on su
gar can have any part in making
the abnormal prices which prevail,
but if the commission finds there is
any ground for believing the duty
to be even partially responsible, I
shall be ready to proclaim a reduc
tion in duty as provided by law."
The presidential order, it "was ex
plained, will result in enlisting an
other agency in the government's
eadeavors to ascertain responsibility
for the gradual increase in sugar
prices starting early in February,
when sugar was selling at 5 and 6
cents a pound retail as compared
with present quotations running 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
announced in Washington that the
department of justice was making an
inquiry which would continue until
responsibility was fixed.
Mr. Harding was said to be firmly
determined that the government
shall do all in its power not only to
bring down the present quoted prices
should they be found unjustified.
He gave some attention to the su
gar situation before leaving Wash
ington, and is understood to have
had several communications from
various officials in the capitol on
the subject since his arrival in Flor
ida. The president was represented as
unconvinced that the present Ford-ney-McCumber
tariff rates of 1.76
cents a pound on Cuban raw and 2.20
con's on other sugars was to blame
for the increased price which Sena
tor Ladd, republican. North Dakota,
in a statement issued a few days ago,
said were costing the American peo
ple ct the rate of $90,000,000 an
nually for every cent advanced. As
his telegram to Chairman Marvin as
serted, however, he is willing, should
the tariff commission's inquiry deter
mine that the tariff rates are even
partially the cause, to utilize the
flexible provision for the present tar
iff act.
INCREASE OF ONE
PER CENT IN WHEAT
ACREAGE REPORTED
Condition of Winter Grain in Europe
and North Africa Generally
Satisfactory, is Eeport.
Washington, March 26. An in
crease of 1 per cent in the winter
wheat acreage this year, reported to
date for 15 countries which last year
had 60 per cent of the total world's
wheat area, both winter and spring,
is announced by the department of
agriculture.
The total area is reported as 127,
055,000 acre3, compared with 126,
712,000 acres last year. Reports for
Germany, Austria, Hungary and Ju
goslavia are not included, but de
creases in those countries are indi
cated. Condition of winter grains in Eu
rope and north Africa are reported
generally satisfactory1. In India the
crop is being harvested and the out
look is favorable. While production
there has not been officially estimat
ed, commercial forecasts indicate pro
duction will be at least equal to last
year, which was 366,000,000 bushels.
Exports from this year's Indian crop
probably will be larger than last
year, as India now has on hand the
usual reserves, whereas at the begin
ning of last year the reserves were
much depleted.
Argentina's exportable surplus of
wheat this year is placed at 127,330,
000 bushels by the latest estimates
and Its crop at 194,078,000 bushels.
The exportable surplus is 12 per cent
les3 than last year. New Zealand's
preliminary official estimate of wheat
production is announced as 8,500,000
bushels, which is 2,100,000 bushels
less than last year.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS GOOD
Washington, March 27. Business
conditions in March thus far give
reason to believe there will be no
slackening activity in the immediate
future, according to a survey of con
ditions made public tonight by the
federal reserve board.
Recent increases in industrial and
commercial activities have been re
flected in a larger volume of loans by
banks which are members of the re
serve system. Most of the loans were
for commercial purposes, according
to the survey.
