Chief Clerk Bradley of the

Bradley. NO matter how we

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Dec. II.
Herbert Hoover's food admins
tration was blamed by Claus
spreckels today for the sugar IA
mine.
Testifying before the senate
sugar-coal investigating commit
tee, Spreekels asserted the food
administration had tied the hands
Of American refiners by an agree
ment which prevents their getting
sugar to refine.
Chairman Reed, early in today
hearing, brought out the following
facts.
There is no world sugar short
age-this years crop is larger
than last years; the food admin
istration made American refiners
agree not to import any sugar,
other countries have decreased
their sugar consumption, England
and France, SO per cent, sugar has
been diverted to other countries
right thru the United States; the
American Sugar Refining COM
pany, known as the sugar trust,
controls nine-tenths Of the output
in this country.
Gould you get sugar today TO
run your factory" asked Senator
Kenyon, Iowa.
No, the sugar has been divert
ed," replied Spreckels. I'VE were
anxious to pay the price. but the
food administration would not let
us. My refinery is not running
now; It has no sugar to refine"
Spreckels stated that Geo. M.
Rolph, the San Francisco sugar
refiner, who is one of three
American members of the inter-
national sugar committee named
by Hoover. had contracted for the
entire output of Hawaii planta-
tons.
His price of % cents less a
hundred pounds than any price
for imported sugar gave Rolph an
advantage of $1,500,000 a year
over us, his rivals" said
Spreckels.
