Hernard. federal food dmiiustratot fwr Indiana: I L'liern.v propaganda doesn't all have its oriain in Oermany. Much of il ia King created right, here in America Profiteers, men who have never before evidenced anc concern with what the people must pay for commodities, for necessities tire making a svstemHt ic, ortjauir.td. deliberate and powerful cifort to discredit Herbert Hoover and the federal food administration TH E T WILL Sl.'CCKKU OM.T AS THE PFOPLP, PERM IT THEMSKI.VF.S TO Ci: blX'UVKD AS TO THK FACTS. At this lime the enemies 'of (he food controller, the very men who bae been and are egainst the war and are in every manner conceivable impending the efforts of the government, are doing their best to discredit Hooter. The big sugar refiners, who last winter called attention to the fact that sugar, during the civil war. when there was ho shortage in production retailed for "5 cents per pound, and predicted a similar situation with the continuation of the world war. are out in the open in the attack on Hoover. Yet Hoover hes been able to keep cane and beet sugar at a maximum average retail price of less than one-third of the civil war price, a pound, with a crop shortage in the cane and sugar beet country. Housewivts are realizing, fist hand, what the federal food administration, is doing for them, in the . sugar crisis. The shouid not and will not be stampeded b misrepresentations, designed for very selfish and unpatriotic purposes, now being made In this connection.
