WASHINGTON GOSSIP
By MILDRED MORRIS
Federated Press Staff Correspondent

Washington.-La Toilette and other
progressives have their battle togs on
for a showdown on the sugar steal
when congress reconvenes.
A scandal that will shake high plac-
es is promised when facts being gath
cred expose the inside of the sugar
raid and reveal a story of government
cooperation with special interests.
The last has not been heard of Her
bert Hoover's sugar shortage state
ment that caused the first rise in sug-
ar prices.
What t he curious ones here are
asking is the connection between the
sugar raid and the visit to Cuba of w.
p. G. Harding, Boston banker and
former governor of the federal reserve
board. The question is significant In
view of Harding's financial interests
and the fact that Hoover's sugar
shortage statement was issued shortly
after his return to Washington. HIS
Cuban trip had connection with sugar
Harding is the man who made the pol
icies for the federal reserve board so
satisfactory to the big bankers and SO
ruinous to the farmers and small
bankers.

performed his old stunt of advising
the ladies to stop eating and cut down
prices. And now instead of demand
