Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ward Sugar Resolution: Hearings Before the Committee on Agriculture, House of Representatives, Sixty-Seventh Congress, Second Session, October 25, 1921; January 18 and 19 and February 3, 1922; Series L
The committee met at 10 o'clock a. M Hon. Gilbert N. Haugen (chairman) presiding.
The chairman. Gentlemen, the committee has met this morning for the purpose of considering H. J. Res. 78, authorizing the President to require the United States Sugar Equalization Board (inc.) to take over and dispose of tons of sugar imported from the Argentine Republic.
Mr. Tincher. Mr. Chairman, I do not suppose there is any possibility Of getting this bill passed at this special session, even if it is reported out, and there are two Members of this committee absent; one of them, Mr. Hays, has been in the hospital for some time and has just recently been taken home, where he is recovering. He is very much interested in this proposition. Mr. Sinclair is at home, I think, in a legitimate cause on account of a recall election that is taking place there. I think the hearing ought therefore to go over. I understand the Attorney General is not in town, and I also understand that the Department Of State has not furnished the documents requested of them. They have decided on their own initiative that they are unnecessary. If the Attorney Gener'al does not appear before the committee, as I understand it, although I do not know that I understand it correctly, you gentlemen have closed your case except that I have a date with Mr. Franklin for a few hours. I think Mr. Hays and Mr. Sinclair have a right to be here, and I would like to have the hearings go over at least a week until they can be here. Mr. Sinclair will be here then and Mr. Hays will be out the latter part of the week.
Mr. Clarke. I think we have had all the information about this matter. And it is unfair to bring these gentlemen continually down here, and if one member is called away or is necessarily absent this week, some other member will be away next week, and I do not think it is fair to keep continuing the matter, Mr. Tincher. When the matter was on the ?oor before I was criticized by the leaders of the party for not having any information, and I am not quite sure we have not very full information yet; I know we have not.
