HOOVER SEEKS
DEBT DELAY

The embarrassing request that

States to postpone collection of the

long conference between President
Hoover and Secretary of State Stirl.

The embarrassment arises from
the doubt as to whether President
Hoover has legal authority to grant
the French request without the ex-
press consent of Congress. On that
point there are many divergent
opinions.
Pointing out that the S4oe, 600. 900
obligation is a purely commercial
transaction, Senator Reed (R1 OF
Pennsylvania, who usually speaks
for the Treasury viewpoint, declared
today the President could grant the
French request by the negative pol
icy of merely not pressing for pay:

At that, the situation is not as

FIX SUGAR PRICE
SPRECKLES
PLEADS
By WIN. K. HUTCHINSON

n
The prospects for adoption
of a sliding scale" Of sugar
tariffs fair to consumer and
producer were considerably
brighter today following the
d e claration of Rudolph
Spreckles, California s sugar
king that the American sugar
industry has been favorably
considering such a plan for
many months.
Spreckles himself suggestai a
sliding scale" of sugar duties to
the Senate Finance sugar sub.
committee, containing the startling
proposal for a fixed margin of
profits to sugar refiners. As one
or the biggest refiners In America,
sprecSles declared this "profit-fix
ing'' feature was necessary to save
the Vu e,' an beet sugar iESGst: y

level was necessary to TIE horne

American farmers are engaged. His
scale would force a 7-centS.a-pound
Price to the consumer.
The Spreckles plan differed
widely from that under considera-
ton by Senator Reed Smoot R)
of Utah. chairman of the Finance
Committee. The Smoot plan, which
has been submitted to President
Hoover did not contain a fixed
margin of profit for refiners. While
the two plans Tailed in ranging the
Cuban duty from 81 per hundred
pounds, when the price OF raw
sugar is high to $2.40 per hun
dred pounds when the price is low,
they differed in the application of
this rates.
Charges Price Slashing
The fact. however, that Spreckles,
as one of the countrys biggest re-
finers, supported sliding scale
gave much acceleration to the
movement for adoption of such a
plan. The Californian declared the
House rates would be virtually use
less in protecting the American
sugar growers, unless refiners'
profits were fixed.
He told how the California and
Hawaii Sugar Company. importing
duty free sugar from Hawaii aud
the Philippines. was constantly

BERLIN. Nov. 13.-For the first
time since the revolution, former
Kaiser Wilhelm has struck back at
the critics in Germany, Who have
attacked him throughout his years
Of exile in Holland.
He has instituted a libel suit
against the Berlin paper, Morgen
Post, which accused him Of unduly
favoring the Krupp factory in
granting munitions contracts during
the war. The suit does not ask
monetary damages, but seeks TO
have the editor responsible for the
charges imprisoned or fined heavily.
The Morgen Post declared the
alleged Iibelous article appeared
Oct. "a. 1t asserted that the former
kaiser always considered himself a
partner in the Krupp concern and,
because of his influence. the COM
pany enjoyed virtual monopoly in
providing guns and munitions for
the imperial army.
The Morgen Post article described
the kaiser's alleged pool in the
Krupp concern as the greatest
scandal in world history" and
charged that, because of the I'M
satisfactory ornaments produced by
Krupp works, the German army en-
tered the World war poorly
equipped and that the kaiser en-
riched himself at the expense of the
