DenOunces Attempts
at Discriminatory
Legislation

Washington, July IL. -tU.R)-
Secretary of the Interior Harold
L. Ickes, in a written statement to-
night. scathingly attacked sugar
lobbyists in Washington and de-
clared that the administration is
vigorously opposed to enactment
of sugar marketing legislation
which would discriminate against
Hawaii. Puerto Rico and the Vir-
gin Islands.
This was the second official
blast against sugar lobbyists with
in a month. President Roosevelt,
at a recent press conference, de-
scribed them as 'pernicious" and
said they were responsible for de-
laying legislation to regulate su-
gar marketing in the United
States.
The extreme activity of the
carefully chosen cane refiner lob
byiStS." IckeS said, makes mani
fest their utter disrespect of the
independent judgment and the
sense of public responsibility of
the members of congress"
Ickes said the present situation
with regard to pending sugar leg
islation appears to be that the
domestic sugar producers are be-
ing victimized by their own lobby

has too high regard for its pub
