HooyER's VIEWS ON SUGAR
 AND INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS

Washington, May l4-Herbert Hoover, former food administrator and candi- date for the republican nomination for president, gave his views to congress to- day on the sugar and industrial sifua- tions.
 Appearing before a house committee Investigating the sugar situation, Mr. Hoover 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 commercial, not legaliszive meth ods. Although the hearing related pri- marily to the action of Attorney Gener- al 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 an 'toff- hand" opinion as to that proceeding Mr. Hoover said, however, that the goyern- ment should have bought the Louisianns crop last year, pocketing the loss or else selling to the luxury trade at a1 advance
 Earlier in the day Mir Hoover. who was member of President Wilson's second industrial conference. told the senate labor committee be did not be- lieve that the relationship between eu1- pFoyerS ana employees could be settled by any form of legal repression. whether it be by injunction. compulsory arbitrz- ton or industrial courts. He, said labor unquestionably had been affected by re- ports of the excessive profits of some employers. although he was emphatic in asserting that unlike Europe. the United States had not been threatened by any attempt by labor leaders to use the strike as a political weapon.
 Mir. Hoover disagreed with the policy adopted by the attorney general. saying that if he had been in the lzters place he certainly would not have attempted such an operation Prices never could be fixed by threats of jail. he said. ad- ding that the proper course was through commercial process.
 Less agitation and more thrift if needed in the United States. the senator said. @ Ut is utter folly to talk about reduc- ing the cost of living" he declared. Without restored anl increased efficiency or production on the one hand and moro prudent cofsumption on the other. No law will work the miracle. Only the American people themselves can solve the situation"
