The Fordney-McCumber tariff duties on sugar were not & factor in the recent large Increases in the price of sugar, the tarifft commission re- ported to the Presldent late yester- day. The report of the commission wus made in response to & request from the Prestdent for information regarding the bearing the duties have hed on the price Increases. The entire commission subscribed to the report. The commission declared that the Increases were due to other causes and that if the tariff was reduced or removed the tendency would be to decrease production of American beet sugar and increaso imports of the foreign product. Various phases of the sugar price situation were discussed In detail, a number of charts and tables being included to illustrate some of the points made, and the following ccn- clusions were reached: “The increase in sugar prices, which hng‘lfll toward the end of aJnuary, Cuba, from 3.165 cents Janu- to 4 cents February 9, 5.10 5.60 cents March April 10, und the lated sugar from 6.47 cents April ot connected with rapldly rising eugar market in the which was witnessad 27 of this year price factors other than the tariff have been controlling. evidence which has been con- Y the tari¥ commission 648 cents per pound, {m posed 1-\ the tariff act of 1922, wa during February and March, 1923 sjand is at the present time, itoluded ' LOOK! the American tariff.

If the American sugar tariff were reduced or removed, the tend- ency would be to reduce the domes- tic production of sugar and to in- |crease the {mportation of foreign BUR! into the United States. “The question of the adequacy or tnadequacy of the present tariff rate on sugar, based upon the difference in the cost of production under the fiexible provisions of (the tariff act of 1922, is not & part of the present inquiry. This question is being in- vestigated by the tarift commission |and Involves careful and extensive examination. The findings of the commission, based.upon this inves- | tigation, will be reported as speedily as possible Lo the President for his consideration and action.” In reaching these conclusions the commission made a thorough study of the matter, even to the other fac- tors that tend to affect the price of sugar {n the United States, the report asserting that “a tariff on sugar in the United States is only one factor in the equation, with numerous varia- Dle | ’l"lklnl' up the matter of sugar supply, the commission found that CLAELIN LOOK!

Thls Beautiful Pure White Niamond Ring Exhibition of Symbolic or Mythological Kirman Carpet Size 14 ft. 6 in.x20 ft. 6 in.—Valued at $22,000.00 The symbolic or mythological patterns in which the Lion stood for the sun, Phoenix for day, and the Dragon for night, were largely employed until the ninth century, when Mohammed forbade the use of any animals with the exception of the dog and the bird which had the significance in the Faith. All the followers of the Prophet, however, did not observe . this law. The Shiah sect of the Moslems, of whom there were about one-half Persians, have employed animal forms constantly. The most ancient designs were purely geometric, which in time advanced to the floral, copying, it is thought, Mosaics of Assyrian pavements and the forms of the gardens in ti:e Persepolis and Babylon. Sir Robert Morris, his works published in London in 1884, gave three styles of designs; first, pure flowing like the early stucco mural relief of Cairo; second, similar styles blended with animal forms; third, purely floral, flowing in lines and fantastic in patterns. This briefly covers the most styles of designs without going into the significance of the various animals and pltterns in the respective rug-making countrles. More delicious, in fact, for no- where can they duplicate that savory blendlng of herbs that gives that spicy tang so appetizing and tasty. Order today from your grocer, specifying Auth’s!
