Hawaiian Crops Makes it Necessary
for This Country to Share its Supply
With Allies.
WASHINGTON, Sept. r. Reduced
of sugar was asked of the
American. people yesterday by the food
that threatened shortage
in the allied countries may be averted.
Lack of ships to move the Cuban and
Hawaiian crops promptly it is declared
makes it necessary that this country
share its sugar supply with Europe.
1.-THE conservation asked Of the
American people, the administra
ton s statement saws, "d0es not
necessarily demand great sacrifices.
1t only needs the elimination Of
waste and the careful use of sugar
to enable America to make up the
difference required by the needs Of
the allies.
II is not actually a lack of sugar
that emphasizes the need for its
conservation in the United States
80 much as it is inability to GET the
s1gar TO the places where needed.
The world S shortage is compare
lively small and is confined 10 Eu
rope. With the stocks on hand in
this country and in Cuba and those
now coming from Hawaii it would
appear that with proper manage
ment and speculation and boarding
eliminated there need be no scarcity
even in the immediate future while
awaiting the new crop.
1.-The lack of adequate shipping
facilities to reach the sources of
supply and the imperative demand
TO supply the needs Of our allies
constitute the sugar problem of the
United States.
The world 3 sugar supply is estimated
this year at 1S,659,792 tons against al
average production of lS,712 $3.50. Amer
lean consumption for the first half oi
the present year was slightly large
