a desire to obtain positions for GER

tirely qualified are attempting to be-
cloud the issue by the publication of
statements that 1t Is not the intention
of the bureau to man the hospital by
a complete colored personnel, and
desire to reassure you that your
wishes in this regard will be carried
out explicitly"
Mr.. Hines told the President that
it had been necessary for the bureau
to work slowly in gathering the staff,
because 1 have always felt that it
was your desire that we, under no
circumstances, put colored personnel
on duty there who did not have the
professional attainments to thorough
ly handle the work, feeling that the
colored people Gesire, as we do, that
the disabled colored veterans receive
treatment equal to that of any of
their comrades. He added, however,
that the staff had almost been COM

such a resolution, and didn't say they
wouldn't.
Mr.. Dwyer. who has conducted the
investigation of various broker
houses, as a result of which the in

SUGAR COST PROBE
TO Be CONTINUED
Presidents Decision to Up
hold Present Duty in No Way
Related to Inquiry.

Recent statements that President
Harding had decided not to lower
the duty on sugar. said a statement
issued at the White House yesterday,
could have no reference whatever to
the investigation now being conduct
ed by the United States Tariff Com
mission
The investigation into the cost OF
production of sugar undertaken by
the commission, with the hearty ap-
proval of the President" the state
ment continued, is still in progress.
1t has not been completed and no
finding Of fact has been or can now
be made to the President. The Pres
ident's statement, therefore, has no
relation whatever to the results of
an investigation yet to be COM
pleted."
Under the tariff act Of 1922. it was
explained, "a change in the rate of
duty can be proclaimed by the Presi-
dent only after an investigation by
the tariff commission into the rela-
tive cost of production here and
President of the commissions finding
of fact showing the ascertained diff
ference"
The statement was made public
shortly after the President had left
Washington for his western trip, and
no White House official would am
plify 1t. It was indicated. however.
that II applied to q recent declara-
tion by q White House spokesman
that Mr.. Harding would not at pres
.ent exercise his authority in regard
to sugar duties under the flexible
provision Of the new tariff law.
