'l|PH0IDS HOOVER IN
SPRECK'ELS DISPUTE
George H. Earle Jr., Asserts
Food Head Saved Nation
From 80-cent Sugar.

George H. Earle, jr., one Of the lead
ing Independent sugar refiners of the
country, has come to the defense of
Herbert c. Hoover. food administrator,
in his controversy with Claus Spreckels.
Mr.. Earle holds that but for the efforts
of Mr.. Hoover sugar would be selling
today at so cents a pound or. perhaps.
even higher.
Mr.. Earle admits Mr.. Hoover and Mr..
George n. Rolph ,'have cut the profits
Of sugar refining to pieces" a fact
which under ordinary times mo refiner
could possibly accept with good grace
but, continues Mr.. Earle, Il thank God
that there are some of US. even in the
refining of sugar. that put our country
in first place"
Mr. Earle says:
IT noticed by the press that the poor
were being robbed by having to buy
sugar by the ounce and paying there
for cents. and that is 80 cents a
pound. And I believe that sugar could
have been sold at 81 per pound. That
would have been fine for those owning
sugar.
but how about the poor, and our
armies and our country? =
Kept Prices Down.
'.Mr. Hoover and Mr.. Rolph have kept
the refiners' prices down to SIS cents
per pound by voluntary agreement
and the last man to agree was Mr.
Spreckels. He is reported as criticiz-
ing Hoover and Rolph for fixing too
high prices. 1t can't be possible. Es-
pecially in view Of the fact that he is
also critfcizing them for allowing too
high prices for Cubans. and in the next
breath abuses them for not letting him
ho nc OF ,vJr he,
Actions speak louder than words. When
the price was fixed, he was the, last to
agree; he alone criticises them for not
letting him run up raws. but when the
crfticizes them with perfect safety 1t is
preposterous!"
Mr.. Earle turns to Mr. Spreckels' fault
finding on Mr.. Roth's and referees fix
ing the price without the public. claiming
that the public was represented by Mr..
Rolph, and that the public retains the
right to deal for ITSELF
Insisted on Minimum.
Claus Spreekels was appointed by Mr.
Hoover as a chief member of the dis
tributing committee. and that commit
tee has allowed him to figure in distrfbu-
ton that he claims for himself
Furthermore. according to Mr. Earle,
Mr.. Spreckels insisted that a minimum
price be fixed for the public. and Mr.
Rolph refused. Who looked after the
publfc?"
Characterizing Mr.. Spreckels as "a
man who has always been treated
justly. and has always suspected that
he was not going to be-" Mr.. Earl con-
cludes his interesting defense of the
public servants in control of the sit
uatiop as follows:
II want to end by saying that, while
I have not always agreed with Mr.
Hoover and Mr.. Rolph. 1 have never
seen such untiring, se1f-sacrifcing, pa
triotic devotion as they are constantly
and I want to say further
that believe they will soon reach
their goai-a reasonable supply Of su-
gar and at less than reasonable prices.
II they are not thus uselessly diverted
from more than exacting duties"
