Gil also considered the question of the

twenty million tons of food more
than necessary for American con-
sumption will be the yield from this
years crop, Herbert Hoover, former
food administrator told a house in
vestigating committee today. He

Cancel Sugar Shipments.
ottawa, Oct. 29.--All contracts for
the shipment of sugar to the United

more licenses for such expectations

Mr.. Hoover appeared before the

pounds of army sugar to France.
Sugar consumption in the United
States has increased apparently be-
cause the country has gone dry, I"
said Mr.. Hoover. The present con-
sumption of SO pounds per capita n
year is the greatest in the history of
the country, he said, last years con-

was S4 pounds.
"The shortage is not large" he
continued. The equalization board
has stated that for November and
December the supply will be larger
