WASHINGTON, Dec. ID. — Her
bert Hoover, United States Food Ad
ministrator, today made the follow
ing important statement:
“Anything l have to say to Mr.
Spreckels statement, recently made
that the Food Administration was at
fault for causing a sugar shortage,
will be made in due time to the Sen
ate investigating committee. It re
pines no pioof from me to establish
ihe fact that Mr. Spreckels, a leading
sugar refiner, is sore at the Food Ad
ministration and would like to see it
destroyed.

“Mr. Spn ckels’ balance* sheet will
not look as good next year as last for.
refiner's profiting have been regulat
ed, hence he has reason to feel badly.!
There are other citizens who feel the
same way and no doubt can entertain
the public by a.^aulting the I'ood Ad
ministration.
“The vast majority of the men and
women of our business community
and of our farmers, arc sacrificing
tiie war profits* daily to the nation’s
necessities without complaint. We
have had two months of partial su
gar shortage, October and November,
and will have a shortage during this j
present month. This shortage comes
! t)« fore relief can be expected from the
l new crop.
“Americans have had 50.000 tons of
sugar in October and November. 1 his
is seventy live per cent of their nor
i nial supplies in each month and if
cars are available they will have sev- •
i enty per cent in December: The car
! shortage has been most acute in the
Northeast. Two hundred cars are to
1 day blocked from that region. This
j 70 per cent is twice the French ra
tion. Meantime we have given France
: a good part of the thirty per cent and
j are proud of it. We have agreed to
] draw 10000 tons for our friends in
j Canada. 1 have yet to meet an Ameri
i can who would have it otherwise.
“As to the Food Administration
i stopping the sources of supplies, as
j alleged by Mr. Spreckels, the fact
! that all available supplies have been
j bi-ought to the distributing centers as
fast as ships and cars could do and
if it has already been eaten, that is
sufficient answer for Mr. Spreckels.
If Mr. Spreckels will tell us where
i there is any sugar today that ships
j can be obtained to carry or where
cars can be secured to cany and de
liver it, it will be delivered at once.
We have requisitioned or distributed
over (10,000,000 pounds of sugar since
October first. Meantime 900,000 tons
of sugar in Java is as remote as
cheese out of the moon, unless we
wish to take bread and ships from
our own soldiers and those of the Al
lies to provide ourselves with candy.”
Mr. Hoover's statement has been
sent out by the Associated Press and
the Food Administration has placed
copies of his first utterance in reply
to Mr. Spree kies before every state
and territorial Food Administrator.
This afternoon Attorney Ray receiv
ed a copy of the above from Food Ad
ministrator Gunnison, the same, as
came to the Gateway in the Associat
ed Press dispatches.
