Sugar Tariff Fight Boosts Duty On Sugar Imports
Washington June 20 A detailed look at the proposed tariff revisions under the Fordney McCumber bill outlines a shift raising duties on sugar to 1.60 cents per pound, possibly 3.4 cents later, to defend against sugar trust profits. The piece traces lobbying by the American Sugar Refining and Beet Sugar groups, naming Hamlin and Oxferd as key figures, and notes the political power of Lodge Curtis Smoot in shaping finance and tariff policy.
