HOOVER ISSUES STATEMENT
Sugar Would Now Be Thirty
Cents Pound

Washington. Dec. 26.-Food Admin
istrator Hoover'S statement on the
sugar situation. which he tried unsuc-
cessfully to get before the senate com
mittee investigating the sugar short
age, was made public by the White
House.
1t attributes the shortage here to the
heavy movement of sugar from the
western hemisphere to Europe and as
serts that without the fixing of prices
by agreement sugar would be selling
for % or 30 cents a pound and more
than S200.000000 probably would have
been profiteered from the American
people by this time.
The statement contains the food adj
illustrators reply 10 charges made be
fore the committee by Claus A.
Spreckels, president of the Federal Re
fining company. that the sugar situa-
ton was msmauaged, and sets forth in
detail the administration efforts to
keep sugar prices down, while supply
ing large quantities to the allies
The committee. of which Senator
Reed is chairman, not only had re
fused 10 make the statement part Of
the Congressional Record. hut has de
clined thus far TO permit Mr.. Hoover
10 take the stand to answer Mr..
Spreckels' charges, When the hearing
is resumed Friday, however, ii Is I'M
derstood Mr.. Hoover will be permitted
to tell his story.
At the outset the statement presents
the world sugar situation as it existed
prior to the European war. The al
lies then produced much of their own
supplies and purchased the remainder
from Germany.
Before the war they took only 300,-
600 tons annually from the western
hemisphere. This year they have taken
100000 tons.
"That," says the food administrators,
"is the cause of the sugar shortage !;
and nothing else"
