the cause OF the sugar shortage BY
Earl D. Babst, president Of the
American Sugar Refining COM
paHy, testifyiag before the senate

He refuted Testimony of Claus A.
Spreckels that George NJ. Rolph. gem
eral manager of the California;
Hawaiian company, and director OF
the sugar division of the food ad-
plies to come east from his own re-
finery at time Spreckels was threat
ened with being forced to close his
plant, by saying that Rolph and an
other refiner offered to let Spreckels
have $4,000 tons at the basic price set

anything to do with the fixing of the
price oi Deet sugar ana that ne mad
any connection with setting the price
