HOOVER TALKS
OF SUGAR
Food Administrator Discusses
Conditions In Sugar
Market

Washington, May 14-Herbet Hoov-
er, former food administrator and
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for President, gave his views to
congress. today on the sugar situation.
Appearing before a house commit
tee inVaS;gating the sugar situation,
Mr. HoSEer declared that the world
shortage of the product was likely to
continue. two or three years. The
pressing need was rationing; he said,
with immediate government action to
control the supply through CONNER
cial. not legislative methods.
Although the hearing related pri-
marily to the action of Attorney Gen
eral Palmer in approving a maximum
price for the Louisiana crop, it reach
ed out into a broader field after Mr..
Hoover said he could give only on 'off
hand" opinion as to- that proceeding.
Mr.. Hoover, said, however. that the
government should have bought the
Louisiana crop last year pocketing
the loss or else selling to the luxury
trade at an advance.
Earlier in the day MIR. Hoover, who
was a member Of President Wilson'S
second industrial. conference told the
senate labor committee he did not be-
iieve that the relationship between
employers and employees could be
settled by any form Of legal repres-
sion. whether it be by Injunction. COM
pulsory arbitration or industrial courts
While a large audience heard r.
Hoover's views before both commit
tees the greatest interest-was dis
played by crows that sought enlight-
ennent on the shortage and high
price Of sugar with its resultant tax
on the family pockctbcok. Answer

on the Louisiana, crop and price sit
had no knowledge Of his own on the
subject but that it Influenced Cuban
producers to stimulate prices, and that
except for it, the rise in prices would
have been less rapid.
Mr. Hoover frankly disagreed with
the policy adopted ty the Attorney
General. saying that if he had been IN
nc pace Ic CSJ tt1iiilS "COib
not have attempted such an opera
tor" Prices never could be fixed by
threats OF Jail, he said, adding that
he proper course was through COM
mercial process.
In making reply to members who
wanted to know what should have
been done, to keep the present high
costs off the people Mr.. Hoover reit-
Grated that the government should
have bought the Cuban crop as well
as the Louisiana crop and that even
now there. was chance to help by
limiting the supply to non-essential
industries. In this connection he told
the committee that prohibition had
stimulation the use of sugar in manu-
featuring Of sweet drinks, and thus
had added to the drain on stocks need
