SUGAR AND MR. PALMER.

No less than three times in the last twelve mdhths Mr. Palmer, acting as the attorney general for Mr. Wilson, announced that all the resources of his department would be set upon the profiteers of the country. Mr. Palmer either neglected to carry out his intentions or else he failed in tne task. - The fact remains that sugar did not decrease in price, and even increased, a little later on. Mr. Wilson first failed in his duty to buy the Cuban sugar crop and make this great supply available to the United States at a reasonable price, and then allowed his subordinates to ignore the appeal" of the housewives who had been victimised by the profiteers as a result of his wilful disregard of Mr. Hoover’s advice.
