Sugar policy blunders cost Americans billions in sugar
The London Times notes large sugar consignments from Great Britain to the United States and criticizes U S policy. The piece blames Attorney General Palmer for high Louisiana prices and the government's refusal to buy Cuban sugar, arguing these moves inflated prices and cost Americans about a billion dollars this year. It cites Hoover and White House statements and calculates per capita consumption at 100 pounds annually with price impacts.

Billion-dollar sugar and irrigation prospects cited
A Spokesman Review note argues that shifting sugar prices from 12 percent to 25 cents would cost $1,260,000,000, while potential lower prices could still yield about $1,000,000,000. The figure is framed as paralyzing scale, capable of funding major irrigation projects like half the West’s arid lands using available water.
