Dear Tumulty
In response to your letter of the 28th instant, enclosing a protest from sugar brokers against continuing Babst of the American Sugar Refining Company as a member of one of my sugar committees, I would suggest that you should reply as follows:
"As to the actionof the American Sugar Refining Company, to which you refer, the entire matter is under consideration by the Food Administration."
For your information, I am trying to get the American Sugar Refining Company to withdraw this bone of contention without regard to its merits, simply because it is stirring up another quarrel in the sugar trade where things are already difficult enough.
Yours faithfully,
[Herbert Hoover]
