Sugar price blame spree spans Palmer and Wilson in Congress
Washington figures blame President Wilson and Attorney General Palmer for high sugar prices while a conference in Washington with sugar refiners continues. Tinkham, Republican of Massachusetts, publishes a survey faulting both Wilson and Palmer, citing the failed Cuban purchase and government price setting for raw sugar. Separately, New York authorities arrest several executives for selling sugar above controlled prices as wholesale markets quote 17 to 22 cents for granulated sugar and 35 12 cents for retail. World sugar imports of 200,000 tons are reported as price incentives rise. Summer crop reports across Europe note progress and drought impacts in parts of the Mediterranean region.
