A statement issued by Julius Klein, jdirector of the Lureau of foreign and of the i Hoover from any blame for the increased price of sugar and attacks statements issued Ly Basil Manly. “The statcments and innuendos of publicity agent of a po- lftical organization. with regard to Mr. Hoover's relations to a world survey of sugar, published by this department February 8. are absolute- Iy, false,” said the statement. “Y wish to state as I have done pre- viously that Mr. Hoover never saw atement in question until after it was in the hands of the public, jnor did he even know it was the |Eourse_of preparation. Thin "buresu issues several thousand letters, atati | | tical and trade statements weckly in ponse to the public demand, and the sole responsibility for such docu- ments is mine. The physical pos- sibility of Mr. Hoover auditing them is out of the question. No one has challenged the accuracy of the sugar survey, and it was correct.” Tncorrect Impression. Dr. Klein then referred to the fact that tho press stories sent out in re- gard to his sugar statement had given an incorrect impression. tinued: “This misinterpretation did _give speculators a_temporary advantage and a rise of 1 cent a pound in raw sugar took place before the correc- tion had been circulated. The price went back a cent upon the correction. The rise since has been due to specu- lation and other causes and to the persistent circulation of the misin- terpretation by persons who knew better and chose to use ii for their {own purpose.” | _In conclusion, Dr. Klein said that Mr. Manley “persistently ignores and misrepresents, as that is uot good political bunk.
