pounds Of pork products.

A population of 100 1000. 900 does not have
to save great quantity of wheat or beef
or pork per capita to make It possible to
send a tremendous quantity abroad. II
the American people save an average Of
only hve pounds of flour month. that
would mean the enormous aggregate Of
600. 1900 pounds a month or at the rate
Of 5000. 1000, 900 pounds year. The same
statement would apply in proportion to
other food necessities. Let us all do our
bit to help increase the quantity Of bread
and meat and other food necessities
available for our troops and their allies.

HOOVER IN STORMY
WRANGLE WITH REEC
shows Missouri Senator Trt~U-rnma
From His Home state Approving
Acts of Food Administration.

Washington, Jan. g-Herbert C..
Hoover. food administrator. wound up
his stormy session before the senate
manufactures subcommittee late to-
day with the declaration that America
Will have fair sugar supply this year,
with prices reasonable. The day was
taken up by sharp running aght be-
tween Hoover and Senator Reed, as
chairman Of the committee.
The question of Cuban. Louisiana,
beet and Hawaiian sugar prices was
threshed out again Drawing from
Hoover the statement that the Louisi-
ana supply OF about $4,000 tons was
contracted for last fan through the
food administration, AZ a protection
for the planters Reed asked what
prices sugar otherwise would have
commanded.
Twenty five or thirty cents
pound" Hoover answered.
Reed derided this form of "protec-
ton and Hoover admitted there waa
a contradiction Of terms.
We'll isn't there contradiction OF
fact aIso2" Reed demanded Enover did
not reply. Reed then tried to develop
, the point that Louisiana planters turn
ing down the price agreed on are now
req ping big profts by selling planta-
tion refined. or light brown sugar. at
prices just as high as graduated sugar
prices Hoover denied this. stating
that means had been found to control
planters proHts,
Hoover denied that the adr7inistra-
tion fixed prices but admitted that Il
does AK profits, bringing from Reed
the taunt:
Then you get in the room, whether
you go through the door or not"
Hoover did not answer.
Then followed q wranEie over the
food control bill which governs the
food administration Reed asked wheth-
err this bin had been violated IN regard
to methods OF determining prices not
under this natural law of supply and
demand Hoover answered that every
action OF the administration with re-
gard 10 prices had been taken at the
advice OF counsel
| When Reed insisted the bill did not
cover the actions OF the admlnistra-
ton Hoover replied:
( You are making a statement here
that ts practically judicial decision
II there has been any violation of this
bin II is for the courts to decide.
don't concede that for one moment"
Hoover went on TO point out that
no trade is 20 replete with private and
cooperate auarrels az the sugar trade,
and that this bitter rivalry has ham
pered the food administration con-
stantlv.
I'VE have had an almost overwhelm-
F, ing response throughout the country,
! however" he added producing a sheaf
OF twenty kilograms OF approval from
Missouri Senator Reeds home state
These were read into the record by
Senator Jones, NJ New Mexico.
THE whole foundation Of the food
administration" Hoover continued as
based on cooperation Of the Ameri-
can people"
AZ this point there was apnIanse
