According to statement by the
Department of Agriculture. there has
been an actual shortage of more than
100000 tons of Sugar annually
since the war began. Prior TO the
war practically all the belligerent
countries except the United Kingdom
and Italy exported sugar. the total
amount being more than 100000
tons. In 1918 it is estimated that
the allies must import minimum OF
100000 tons. .

amount of much needed outside cap
