BIG PEACE CONFERENCE NOW PLANNED
SUGAR REF|NER'S PROFITS TO BE
 REGULATED

Judge Gunnison has forwarded to w. R. Hillery the following. telegram from United States Food Administra- tor Hoover
 Anything I have to say to Mr- Spreckles' statement will be said in due time to the committee. It today requires no proof from me to estab- fish that Mr Spreekles, a leading sug- ar refiner, is sore at the food admin istration and would like to see it des- troyed. MT. Spreckles' balance sheet will not look as good next year as last, for refiners' profiting have been regulated, hence he has reason to feel badly. There are other citizens who feel the same way and no doubt can entertain the public by asaulting the food administration.
 Vast majority of men and women of our business community and of our farmers are sacrificing their fair pro- fits daily to the nations necessities without complaint We have had two months of partial sugar shortage, October and November. and will have December shortage before relief from new crops. Americans have had 500,000 tons sugar in these two months, and if cars are available they win have TO per cent in December. Car shortage has been most acute. In the northeast two hundred cars today are blocked from that region This TO percent is twice the French ration. Meantime we have given France good part of the thirty per cent and are proud of it. We have agreed to draw 100000 tons for our friends 1n7Canada.
 -'T have yet to meet an American who would have it otherwise as to food administration stopping sources of supplies, The fact that all avan- able supplies have been brought there that ships and cars could bring and that it has already been eaten .s surf ficient answer If MT. Spreckles wifi tell us where there is any sugar to- day that ships can be obtained to carry or cars can be obtained to de- liver, it win be delivered at once with the same resolution that we have re- quisitioned or distributed over 60 .oo0- 900 pounds embargoed sugar since October l. Meantime the sO0,Ooo tons of sugar in Java is as remote as cheese out of the moon unless we wish to take bread ships from our own sol diers and the allies to provide our selves with candy
