A bill aimed at preventing ipecuHitlon In eucar. which baa the Approval of th Department of .lifrtlce, was Introduced In the Hous to day by Iteprewntatlve Howard (Okla.). TKe measure prohibits speculative re fajes of sutrar oinon; large dealers, ex cept under rules to be prescribed by the AOorney-Oenerat The Department of Justice has come to the. conclusion that additional leslc feafaon Is necessary to reduce misar prices, Mr, Howard aald, adding that It beleYes the blame for the present prices reft Oil lue il.ivltce Of npeCUlotlVo It- najes. Tenaltles of the bill are fixed at tip.000 fine, two years' Imprisonment, or both. jTbere Is no one subject to-day that IadlEturblnjr the minds of the citizens of! this country more than the extreme price and unequal distribution of sugar," said Mr. Howard. '"Every family and cvj:ry person Is Interested. There Is no doubt that the element of speculation wrjlch lias entered Into the dealing In arjl the distribution of this commodity ha.-: had a very matorlal'cffert In raising thlt price of It to the consumer. iTor some time the Department of JutUce. through the Food Administra tion and the Attorney-General, lias been wrestling with this question and making every effort toward a more equitable dis tribution and the elimination of specula tion and the curbing of the profiteer. a the result of resales within tho trade The Department of Juatlco has been un able to meet this situation because cf In adequate legislation, tno only means now provided being the licensing system. With the declaration of peace or the re peal of war measures, the licensing sys tem will automatically become obsolete and of no value. This would leave the people of tho country entirely at tho mercy of the sugar speculators. Tor this and other reasons I have In troduced to-day a measure seeking to curb this speculation and to remedy the handicap under which the Department of Justice Is now laboring. Tho measure Is largely the result of tho special effort the Department of Justice has been and Is maHin to reirulate the distribution of and the price of this commodity." REFINED SUGAR BOOSTED.
