Tho department to Day was the Sambas when no complaint was Madei r the sugar agreement debate in Federal parliament or tudors criticism. Reply by or. Hughes. Melbourne tuesday. In the House of representatives to Day or. Tudor moved the adjournment of the House to discuss the retail Price of sugar. He said that he approved to the agreement that had recently been before the House. The. Prime minister had said that at the conference at which thru agree ment was arrived at he represented the consumer but in reply to a question i e admitted that he did not know what the increased Cost to the retailer would be. There was no mention at the conference of the retail Price and he objected to 6d per Pound being fixed. The producer and the Miller got Between them Only id per Pound extra yet Tho increase to tic consumer was to be 2id per la. That was the position that the people wanted to have explained to them. It was not on account of the agreement that the Price had gone up i authority for that being Tho prime minis Ter himself. He said that it was necessary to emphasise that Tho increase to 6d was mainly duo not to the contract made with the Queensland government to Purchase at �3o/6/8, but to the Purchase at a High Rire of 100,000 tons of foreign sugar which had to be imported to meet the deficiency in local Supply that would exist at the end of the season. No one objected to an in crease in Tho Price of any commodity hat was necessary to give the producer fair and reasonable conditions. They did not object to paving the extra one Penny per Pound to the grower or the 18/6 per ton to the colonial Huger refining cos., but that wits equal to Only one tenth of a Penny per ton and Tho people wanted to know How Tho extra charge to them was accounted for. It was said that it was to pay Tho Cost of Tho imported sugar but it j should have been possible in lid. Or aug list last to have been Able m a. To with tit 10 per cent., what australian require ments for this year would however that provision had not been made and it was nut fair now that the extra Price should have to be charged. It was a charge that would fall heavily on the poorer classes in the Community. Prymk mini Bokr a statement. Or i 0 he s made a statement indicating the position.

Unless the Queensland crop was purchased by the Commonwealth government the Price of Saga for the next four months would lie at least 10d per la. And it could Only he retailed at Oil if it Pur chased Tho Queensland crop is pro Vider in the draft Tigre moment Laid be fore parliament the position might 4 e summarised As follows less Oil sugar sold match 23 to june 30,1 j 75,40-1 tons at �l2/10/ per ton �943,302 loss on-20,000 tons cuban sugar sold from july 1 to new crop �300,000 total �1,533,302 profit on quem slander Anil .

Should the Mil Laquin refinery secure sufi Hiuet local sugar to make 20,000 tons of refined sugar at an estimated Cost of �3b per ton a profit of �7/10/ per ton would accrue to the govern ment or � 150,000 which will reduce the debit balance to �70,000. The position As to Price summed up. From the figures Given it will be clearly seen 1 that the Price now charged for sugar to tile Public is very much lower than the Price paid by the Commonwealth for sugar 2 that this High priced sugar is the Only sugar available for the nest four months 3 that the Commonwealth will make a loss of nearly �1,000,000 by Selling sugar at go. And 4 that it can Only afford to do so if it acquire tic Queensland crop at �3o/6 8, pools it with the foreign sugar and Sells at a uniform Price. It is estimated that the next seasons Queensland and new South Wales sugar crop will not exceed 145,000 tons. As the yearly consumption is Over 280,000 tons it is obvious that further purchases of foreign sugar must be made in order to Supply tie Community until the 1920 Cron is available. The amount necessary will be anything from 110,000. To 130,000 tons the Price to be paid for this is quite problematical. If however the Price paid enable the Commonwealth to sell sugar at less than 6di a la after March 1 next it will most certainly do so. It is obvious from the facts Given that there is. And can he. No alternative to a. Increased Price for retail sugar the Price of �3o/6/8 is the lowest at present ruling for sugar in any part of the world and this despite the fact that australian sugar is raised by White labor and the wages paid to the work ers Are the highest in the world. If the grower got even one half of the worlds Price to he would receive More than the Price lie is willing to take. He does this in return for a fixed Price for three years. The Industry is stabilised and he is encouraged to increase his output. If the Commonwealth does not give him this guarantee he will of course he entitled of ask that to shall get some thing approaching the worlds parity for the coming seasons crop. In All the circumstances i do not think the Price is 100 High. Wages which absorb no less than so per cent of the Cost of production have increased very much and the workers Are. Owing to the increased Cost of living and other reasons demanding a further increase. Australians have no reason then to Coin to Plain that now when As a result of conditions Over which neither Thev nor the Queensland growers have any control the consequence of War. Droughts cyclones they have to pay More for their sugar than Liev have done for lie last five years. The australian people will get sugar cheaper than and other people in the world and they will do this because the australian grower gets loss than any other grower in the world at the present time. The increase in the Price from Aid to go per la. Is caused by 1 the increased return necessary of bal Ance the Price of foreign augur and avoid still heavier loss 21 id. Per la. Of the increase paid to sugar Industry ii id. Per la. In Purchase of foreign sugar to meet consumption 41 the increased amount allowed to retailers or Moro than cd per la. No one can say what Price foreign sugar will he in one or two years time but there Are Manv Good reason for believing that the Price of sugar will not fall to pre War level during the next three years. On the facts tile retail Price charged for Secir is not Only justified but is 4d. A la. Less than the Cost to the Commonwealth government. He contended that the agreement proposed to he made with the Queensland government is n Good one in the. Interests of the con Sumers and of Australia generally or Mcwilliams i Fence protested against important statements of this kind being Marie without members be ing supplied with a copy in Advance. He had been informed that about eight months before Tho armistice Mer. Clients asked for permission to Pur Chase sugar at Java at �7/10/ a ton but tie government refused it. He maintained that the present position in which Australia i Burn itself was the result of a Luck of foresight on the part of the government during the War. And he was not at All sure that it would not be a Good thing if the afer lenient were withdrawn altogether or Massy Greene replied at some Ithan said that or Hughes Hail dealt with generalities evading the Point at Issue which was the increase in the retail Price to the extent of 2.1 and per la he would like to know who Laid purchased sugar when it was �2l a ton and whether Australia was now purchasing from middlemen at Groath advanced prices. Air Greene the Java sugar we purchased at �22 a ton was of 7t inter crop mid was not in existence then. Or Anil that the.

The commission also wishes to announce that if before the publication of that proclamation complaints Are made to the commission and proved that dealers in sugar Are Selling at the enhanced Price sugar bought from the Commonwealth on Oil before March 25, and thereby getting the new Price for the article bought at the old one. The commission will undoubtedly regain Flint is taking an unreasonable profit and will take action to the fill Accord ing to its Powers under Section 8 of Hie act.

Therefore. The government should put trunk lines into Alt the. Back Block areas and although those ones could not be expected to to remunerative at the outset still they Ifould always be an asset to the country. In reply the minister said lie could Only repeat what lie had already state to two similar deputations. He did no look to the Post Ollice to pay its Way and Rofi Uco hit profits.

He Felt certain that his Lopen Merit would get fair treatment from the government As both the prime minister and or Watt had stated than the policy of the government was to give better mail and Telephone facilities to the settlers on the land.
