Sugar agreement probe urged in Senate amid price and wage worries
Senator Amour moved an amendment to the Sugar Agreement Bill seeking a royal commission inquiry into the operation of the agreement. The inquiry would cover impact on wage earners, benefits to primary producers, public sugar prices, and the Colonial Sugar Refining Co. gains. The bill renews the five year agreement from September 1741. Professor Copland noted grocer profit margins and a rising retail price bid from the Retail Grocers Association.
