HON. e. S. BROUSSARD's AID
DRESS AT HOUMA ON
JANUARY 18th,

At meeting held at New he
ria, on January 9th, | took occa-
sion to refute the very base and
slanderOus rumOrs circulated in
the sugar belt among the sugar
cane growers. These rumors
charge that while Food Admins
traitor Mr.. Parker kept the price
OF sugar at an exceedingly low
price, while the Food Administra-
ton had permitted other agricul-
tural products to be sold at d
very high price; and. hence, said
these slanderers, Parker is not
your friend"
have been always identified
with every movement for the adj
vancement, promotion and protec-
ton Of sugar and rice, and con-
slider myself as well posted on
these questions as the average
man in this section. Knowing
the facts, j felt it my duty to do
justice to Mr.. Parker's record,
and l showed how Mr.. Parker had
been the friend Of the sugar peo-
pie Of Louisiana.
am very sorry that the news
papers reported only in an ex-
tremely condensed form what
did say. Although quotation
marks were used by these news
papers, the remarks quoted were
at best a condensed statement;
and even these condensed state
ments are inaccurate. For III
stance the Times icayune quote
me as saying that the price for
sugar fixed at Washington for the
1917 crop was 5 IL cents. What
! said was $3.50 per hundred
pounds. Again the Times-Pica-
yune quotes me as saying that
when Mr.. Parker rendered his
designation he thereby obtained a |
price Of 6 IL cents. What | said !
was that when Mr.. Hoover re- !
fused to give more than $3.50 per |
hundred pounds for sugar, Mr.. |
Parker rendered his resignation,
and because Of the admitted |
services rendered the Democratic |
Administration in re-electing i,
Mr.. Hoover, not wanting to lose
Mr.. Parker as Food Administra-
tor of Louisiana. countered by
offering $685. per hundred
pounds; that Mr.. Parker still
held out for $3.50 until the Com
mittee representing the Louisi-
ana sugar people advised him 70
accept the $685.; thereby saving
even at $685. per hundred pounds
eighty-fve cests per ton to our
farmers.
The Times-Picayune says that
"in 1918 Mr.. Parker again made
the FIGHT which gave s II for the
