There is an Abundan Supply? ( Shortage Only in the East. Washington, Dec. 1!5.?At the j opening of the investigation Mr.' | Spreckles testified that there is no| ! shortage in the world or the countrys | sugar supply and that the only deI ficiency was localized in the eastern " j Atlantic states. ij "The world supply is approximatei! ly the same as in former years," ' said Mr. Spreckles. "The available supply of the United States is the - same. There is no shortage of sugar in this country, except in spots. I The United States has ample today, but not in the eastern Atlantic states." Mr. Spreckles said there were i still 900,000 tons of last year's crop unused and estimated the 1917-18 I crop exclusive of that produced by > Germany, her allies and Russia, as 1,230,000 tons in excess of the amount produced in the same territory last year. "While the 900,000 tons of old sugar exists it is a question of ton. nage in distributing it" he said. x By eliminating Java there would be 180,000 tons less than the availI able in sight last year, Spreckles said. He estimated the Cuban crop this year at about 600,000 tons more than ever before. The sugar going through New York, Spreskles said, was raw and r the Canadian refiners paid a higher , price. "We entered into an agreel ment with the food administration to pay a certain price for raw suJ gars," said Spreckles. "We adhered - to that agreement and^ product nori mally imported into this country went abroad because better prices could be obtained. We were forced to close our refineries for lack of k supplies." "If you could pay a higher price j * now could you open your refinery?} 1 Senator Teed asked. * "Not at once. Much of the sup* ply has gone abroad and it would take time to get the raw product here." k Mr. Spreckles is president of the k Federal Sugan Refining company. ^ On Oct. 19, 1917, Spreckles said ? he telegraphed the food administrator Hoover urging he be allowed to 7 pay a higher price and agreed not f|to raise the price to the wholesaler - if allowed to do so. 5 The food administrator answered - that the $6.90 per hundred } pound * price for imported raw sugar > was 5 high and that he believed other re" finers also would be glad to pay 2 more. He attributed some of the 1 inability to get raw sugar to specu" lators holding the supply in Cuba. - Spreckles said he was not aware of 1 such a situation. Mr. Hoover also 1 wrote that the supply then available 1 in Cuba at a higher price would 5 not keep American refiners running " more than two or three days. LIEUTENANT DEVLIN c j ] Lieut.
