OREGON'IAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington, April 16. Letter and telegram tumbling Into the office of ! : Senator. McNary of Oregon indicate ',' that the people of the United States . I are far more wrought ip over the '. . high cost of sugar and shoes than they are over the league of nations. ;. universal military training or the re I' suits of the presidential primaries. incidentally some shoe manufac ' ' facturers. wholesalers and retailers ' '. and several sugar brokers are mani : . testing quite a little nervous excite '.' men! over the two subjects under in- vestigatiori by separate subcommit- tees of the senate committee on manu- factures. Senator McNary has charge ' of both inquiries. Traders Clearly Nervous. Telegrams of inquiry sent In large i" numbers by the Oregon senator to ! '. firms engaged in the shoe and sugar trade have added greatly to the dis comfort of those so engaged. - In re ; plying to his telegram both shoe and sugar men take it for granted that " they are in tor a grilling and are t; pleading to be told how soon they are ;." to be called on to testify. It Attorney-General Palmer Is almost J sure to be dragged Into both hearings I to make at least two explanations. ; ; rrlc-e Nerd Explaining. J First, the McNary sugar committee ! wants to know alt the details where- by Louisiana sugar planters were ; able to sell their sugar for 17 cents a pound while the sugar beet growers ' ! of California, Idaho. Utah and several 'I other states were permitted to take f ; only 10 cents. Explanations hereto- fore made by the attorney-general are ' not accepted as satisfactory. ; Second, the McNary shoe committee wants to know why it was that Mr. '' I'almer did not start his prosecution of the retail shoe trade right here in Washington, where he has abundant ' evidence of wide margins of profit '. since August of last year. Informa tion has reached congress within the last few days of indictments brought in against shoe retailers in Spokane, Wash., in January by a federal grand ' jury acting under theadvice of Attorney-General Palmer's agents. Stransre Contrast Shown. Profits taken by Spokane dealers, as shown by the grand Jury report, ; .when compared with the margin granted by some eastern dealers, par-J t ticularly here in Washington, might 1 '- lead to the conviction that the Spo kane tradesmen were philanthropists. Tet Mr. Palmer has not seen fit to start any prosecutions here or else where in the cast. For example, the federal trade com mittee made public last August a re port showing that one dealerhere 1n Washington doing business on a plot "of ground 18 by 71 feet had .made net profits of 896.000 the preceding year. Other local dealers have prospered correspondingly, according to the size of their establishments and capital invested. Krnyon Starlit Something:. Senator Kenyon of Iowa, who is a member of the McNary committee to investigate shoe prices, has added something to the hum of information by Investigating the manufacturer's price on a pair of shoes which he purchased here in Washington for S'JO only a few days ago. Inquiry brought th reply that the manu- tacturer received 88 for Mr. Kenyon's shoes. , As to Cuban sugar, for which house wives in this country are now pay ing from IS to 25 cents, a cablegram from President Menocal oft Cuba to Senator McNary shows the price in Cuba is now $13. S3. This does not show such a wide margin of profit in reselling it in this country, but tfre figures become significant and . interesting when it is known that t this is the sugar which the United States sugar equalization board urged - President Wilson to buy in August ..' and September last year for 6V6 cents a pound, which would have saved i " American consumers in round fig ures by this time about $1,000,000,000.
