HOOVER SEES NO RELIEF.
Thinks World Will Be Short of Sugar
For Two on Three Years.

WASHINGTON ! May Is. = Herbert
Hoover, former food administrator and
candidate for the Republican nomina-
tion for president. gave his views 10
congress yesterday on the sugar and
industrial situations.
Appearing before a house commit
tee investigating the sugar situation,
Mr. Hoover declared that the world
shortage of the product was likely to
continue two or three years. The press
ing need was rationing, he said, with
immediate government action to con
troll the supply through commercial
not legislative methods. Although the
hearing related primarily to the action
of Attorney General Palmer in approx
ing maximum price for the Louisiana
| crop, it reached out into q broader field
| after Mr.. Hoover said he could give
| only an "off hand' opinion as tC
that proceeding. Mr.. Hoover said, how
ever. that the government should have
bought the Louisiana crop last year

| luxury trade at once at an advance.
