Short rstiona on sugar r. one 81
possibilities IN store for the American
people In case Of a prolonged war says
. Washington letter In the New York
Evening Post This possibility y not
a. remote a. might be supposed at
nrst shoughs. With the possible eN-
ception Of Germany. every heaigerent
nation has a to SO casy on sugar
consumption. for most OF the beliis-
erents. like The United States. are NO;
s~eif-s1s;ainine when Il comes to this
vital paft Of the human diet.
Only in those places like Germany
where the beet sugar industry has
been developed 20 n tremendous eN-
tent is the suEar situation n free
from worry. We are In theoretically
the same fix with regard To sugar rs
England and France-the only differ
cnce being that our main supply comes
from Cuba. a locaii,s almost within
aanshoi Of or 'front.' door. But sup
poso something happened Il Cuba.
The question is worth c~onsiderins
in these days OF possible e~ventualities.
Cuba Is not under the control Of the
United States In Cuba recently there
was a revolution or rebellion. stimu-
lated II H. believed. by enemies Of this
republic. n Cuba were TO fall into hos
tile hands. sr " hostile hands-and IL
would not AXE many Of them to Do
it-were 10 set fire 10 the sugar cane
fields, our supply Of this necessary
sweet would be seriously diminished
And II Mexico became a base for a
German submarine campaign directed
against the maintenance Of commerce
between the United States and cuha
anything is possible. and speculation
L. easy.
Not only are Americans the iarges;
indh idual nsers OF sugar. consuming
something like eighty-sis pounds per
capita per year. but sugar our die, ex-
perts Say. is an essential focdsiun
without which We should starve.
During the last five years the Unit
ed states consumed about : million
tons 81 sugar annually. The bulk Of
this came from Cuba. The beet sugar
industry averaged during the last five
years less han eight hundred thou
SAND tons q year. American grown
cane sugar amounts TO about = mil
Hon ton a year.
A real sugar crisis could be me bi
h use of such substitutes a. sorghum
syrup and glucose. The former could
be grown without difficulty In II
state in the union. and enough of the
latter TO supply any possible demand
oouid be made from corn products.
Beet sugar - wha has kept Ger
many alive aud sweetened. 80 to speak.
In fact. for two or three years lmme-
disteiy preceding the war, we imported
more than three-quafters Of our su-
gar beet seed from Germany. totsliing
ten million pounds annually. This i'm
por,aiion stopped short for obvious
reasons in 1915 and we turned to.
Rupsia Tor oar supply. Russia beins

has freed itself from dependence on
