FOOD CONTROL

American confectioners have been put
ting 100000 tons of sugar a year into
candy. That amount of sugar would al
most supply the entire English demand at
the present rate of consumption. Recently
the administration has cut the candy max
ers down to 100000 tons a year. The
money value of the sugar so saved is
enough to feed all the Belgians for one
year.
Food control has certainly saved the
American household in spite of the many
mistakes which may have been made. In
May wheat was at So. SO bushel and flour
at S17.10. Congress brought wheat down
to $3.50 for this years crop, and the total
monthly saving on -four effected b. the adj
n1inistration was $6S, 100000.
But keeping down the cost of living is
not the primary object of the administra-
ton. 1t opposes boarding not SO much be-
cause boarding raises prices, as because it
keeps food out of the market at the very
times when it is most seriously needed
The administration licensing system has
greatly eliminated boarding. Jobbers,
wholesalers and big retailers can do bust
ness only if they have license. If they
are caught boarding, forfeiture of their
License puts them out of business. Public
opinion keeps the small retailers in line
where patriotism doesn't do it.
The worlds food situation is bad-but
in four months fighting the United States
Food Administration has got it pretty well
under control, in spite of some bungling.
