SUBMIT TWO PLANS
TO END SHORTAGE
IN SUGAR MARKET.
Hoover Tells Cure for Fam
ine-BiII Would Ban
Exports.

Two plans to end the sugar short
age were put forward yesterday. one
by Herbert Hoover. former food ad-
ministrator. and the other by Repre-
sentative Hudspeth. democrat. Texas.
Mr.. Hoover proposed. the rationing
Of sugar to manufacturers of non
essentials and an agreement between
the United States and foreign coun-
tries not to bid against each other
for sugar.
A bill was introduced in the House
by Mr.. Hudspeth prohibiting the ex-
portation of sugar from the United
States. The measure also proposes
that the Federal Trade Commission
shall investigate the manufacture.
distribution and sale Of sugar.
Outlines Theories in TeleEram.
Mr.. Hoover's suggestions were con-
tanned in a telegram to Senator Cap
per Of Kansas, in response to one OF
inquiry from the senator. Mr.. Hoover
said the government was primarily
responsible for the present situation
through the failure to purchase the
Cuban crop.
'.The present sugar position is due
simply to bad business administra-
tion," said Mr.. Hoover. Last Sep
tember the administration could have
bought the Cuban sugar crop at 61s
cents per pound for raw sugar. This
would have given twelve-cent sugar
n our consumers. AS the result of
failure to act in this matter. we are
matchmaking in the world shortage
OF sugar, due to decreased European
production, and we are subject to un-
paralleled speculation and profiteer-
ing. The increase in price is impos-
ing an additional tax on our people
Of about $50 per family per annum.
ProAteering Worldwide.
1.-The profiteering is international.
The situation is as much disltked by
the vast majority of our manufac-
turers and distributors az by the pub
lie. for they do not like even to be
accused of profiteering. This situa-
ton cannot be remedied. by the At
torney Generals conception that
forces
by putting few people in jail.
Something could be done to remedy
matters IL our government even now
entered into negotiations with the
large European governments to stop
bidding against each other and SO Sc
cure our fair share Of the available
supplies.
..rhe second thing that could be
done to break this gigantic bubble
Of speculation would be to reduce con-
sumption through immediate ration
ing of the on-essential consumers.
over one-third Of our sugar Is used
by the candy, sweet drinks and other
manufacturers Of non-essentials. Dur
ing the war these trades patriotically
co-operated in public interest in such
reduction and themselves found sub
stitutes Of other sweetening materials
for the maintenance of their trade.
They would no doubt cooperate
again"

"Why not let's all of US stop
speculating about choice of candi-
date and wait for developments
at Chicago?" said Representative
Longworth. pausing on the Capitol
plaza to pass the time of day. His
query followed comment on the
closing of the primaries in the
big states.
Faith, and wasn't the point we'll
taken? Here are the primaries
come and gone and nothing definite
to show for them. In most of the
states the turnout of voters at the
primary polls was SO far below the
normal voting strength as to be
inconclusive of the sentiment Of
the state. Furthermore, the prefer
ences indicated by those who did
turn out did not point the finger of
fate at any candidate. Wiseacre
opinion at the Capitol is that the
primaries again recorded failure as
reliable indices Of public opinion.

PARIS. May (by the Associated
Press). - The labor situation in
France. and especially in Paris. is
rapidly approaching crisis. This
belief became current in Paris after
the announcement by the General
Federation of Labor that it had re-
quested all workers in the Paris sub
ways and tramways to join the strike
movement beginning Monday morn
ing. Late this evening the federation
issued another order calling on work
ers in the metal and building trades
and all those engaged in merchandise
transport to strike Monday. The fed
Grafton, however. promises that suffi-
cient workers will be permitted to

Official circles express the opinion
that these calls "are a last bluff of
| the federation, which is beginning to
feel that the movement is irretriey-
ably lost" Comfnuniques issued by
the federation. on the other hand. ex-
press confidence in the ultimate sue
cess of the movement and threaten
to call out all the other branches Of
labor should the strike calls issued
today fail to bring the desired re-
suit.
Extremist Leaders Held.
The government caused the arrest
of ,;ct
charging them with melting the mil
itary to disobedience.
There is considerable uneasiness
over the turn of the situation and
fears are expressed that should the
means of transportation in Paris be
tied up Monday clashes and riots
may result. Measures to keep order
by the authorities.
Postal Workers Called.
The Federation of Postal Employees
has appealed to all employees in Paris
to gather at general meeting to-
morrow for the purpose of discussing
means for upholding the workers now
striking. Although the appeal does

is behind the call for the meeting.
The statement of the labor fedora
tion points out that the attitude Of
the government In refusing to meet
the workers necessitates further and
more drastic action.
Railway strike Weak.
The railroadmen's federation, which
precipitated the conflict a week ago,
has been having less success with its
strike than the organizations which
later came out in sympathy with the
railroadmen. the tie-up In the mines
and ports and in the metal Industry

While the governments uncompro-
