livcred before the Indian Society of

France had been the chief sufferer
since almost the whole of the sugar
producing parts of that country are
i'm the hands Of the Germans, the
consequence of which was that large
shipments had to bc m?dc from the
United states and Cuba. IN both Ger
many and Austria the production in
the past year mad been normal In
peace times Germany exported about
q million tons annually; but she now
uses up all her surplus production at
home largely as food for cattle and
as raw material for the extraction OF
yeast and spirits Moreover the Bel
giau yield had been seized for the
use of the German armies and for
the civilian population of the Occu-
pied parts of northern France.
