WASHINGTON, Aug. Sugar

day here. attracting the interest OF
President Herbert Hoover. senators
of both parties, the new Democratic
publicity agency and countless lob
byists on hand to represent the vari-
Gus factions.
The President. returning from his
week END camping trip to the Shen-
andoah valley with Chairman Reed
Smoot of the senate finance commit
Zee. whose sliding scale was proposed
last week. brought a new angle into
the sugar fight.
While there was no official an
.nouncement of what Hoover thought
of the scale, there we're strong in
dications it is acceptable to him.
Therefore, it may be adopted by
Shoots committee as a substitute
for the fiat cents a pound rate in
the house bill.
Hoover and Smoot found another
new angle of the fight had been
opened in their absence when Sena-
tor william E. Borah of Idaho let
it be known he is considering tar
ifT bounty plan as substitute for
both the Smoot to Scent rate and
the house fiat duty.
The influential Republican orator
of the last campaign favorably is

the present tariff rate on sugar and

American producers a bounty from

RASKOB MUST
BE DISCARDED,
SAYS CANNON
Dry Southern Democrats
Will Leave Party,
Charges Bishop.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Fress
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The
Democratic party must repudiate
and discard John J. Raskob, chair
man of the national committee, or
lose permanently the dry southern
Democrats, Bishop James Cannon
Jr. of the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, said in 20,000-word
statement made public her today.
The lengthy statement an. yered

planned details of his personal 'ans
to promote the Asheville confel 1nce
of the anti-Smith Democrats.
Commenting on Chairman Ras-
kob's speech at the recent banquet
in Washington, Cannon said the
former General Motors financial
wizard INDUCED in wild talk about
revolution in order to secure the
enjoyment of life, liberty and in
the pursuit of happiness"
This, the churchman said, was
simply the use of somewhat differ
ent words to express frantic, indy
ing opposition to prohibition
Bishop Cannon summed up his
commment on the Raskoh speech by
saying:
Either RaSkobism must be dis
carded and repudiated. or dry south
ern Democrats are of necessity per-
manently out of the party"
Asserting he did borrow $4,000 10
purchase 625 barrels of flour for
Blackstone COLLEGE, of which he was
president, shortly after the United
States entered the war, Cannon ex-
planned he disposed of it in eighteen
days after he had been assured pro-
lection against food proflteers would
be given public institutions.
Cannon reaffirmed previous ex-
PLANTATION of his expenditure OF

BRAND DENIES
EUROPE UNITY
PERIL TO u. S.
Continental United States
Dream Is Peace Move,
Says Premier.
BY PIERRE SALANIER
United Press STAFF CorTrspondsDt

Lnited Press stan Correspondent
PARIS. Aug. 5.-Premier Aristide
BRAND, one of the worlds leading
apostles OF peace. expressed deep re-
greet today that his lifelong dream
of a United States of Europe has
been construed in certain quarters
as an attempt to establish an
economic front against the United
States of America.
The French statesman staunchly
maintained he would not even at
tempt a European federation If such
a maleyolent spirit could seep into
It. varying it and swaying it from
his original ideal of fostering peace
and relieving the world from hatreds
resulting from political and COM
mercial discords.
Dream for Decades
Premier BRAND, prior to his de-
parture for The Hague at the head
of the French delegation to the in
ternational conference. asked the
United Press TO explain the concep-
tion of the project of United
States of Europe. a project which
has been his dream for decades and
which about four years ago began to
take on actual form.
The premier said that the pri-
mary object of his dream is peace
in Europe and throughout the
world.
Il in no way envisages any COM
petition with the United States OF
America, and not only that. but the
premier believes that a European
federation actually would help
America, and that a collaboration
between the two unions would be
for the benefit of peace and COM
MERGE throughout the world.
Understands Difficulties
The minister said he is cognizant
of the difficulties of the tremendous
undertaking and the organization
of such a huge project. But he
contends that it was the duty of
the statesmen of the world to col
laborate in it and not to shrink be-
fore obstacles.
BRAND explained he already had
preached the subject to various
European statesmen during the
League of Nations sessions both at
Geneva and at Madrid, and that
they had expressed a favorable
opinion of the elaborate scheme.
He intends to continue the con-
versations at the next session OF
the league at Geneva, in the hope
that the forthcoming discussions re-
garding the various economic and
political problems will produce a
basis for the organization of the
European federation.
