a fair distribu,ton Of sugar 70 the Al
lied world is as follows:
Sugar supplies throughout the eoun-

Porto Rico crops have been cur
tailed.
Immense sugar stocks In Java can
not be reached on account OF the snip

troop movements and munitions.
Army and Navy sugar reauirements
have increased as we'll as those from
the Allies.
Most industries using sugar have hao
their allotment reduced by one-half
some will receive No sugar.
Households should make every Ell
| fort to preserve the fruit crop without
sugar, or with small amounts OF sugar
Later, when the sugar supply Is iafg

Leaves Defense Council Because He

Hartford, Nov. 27.-In a letter ad-
dressed to the chairman of the State
Council of Defense George B. Chan
dler, compensation commissioner
states his reasons for resigning from
the committee on publicity.
One of his most emphatic reasons
is as follows;
'T believe that the operation OF a
publicity bureau by the government
is a dangerous practice in repuollc'
and one which can only be justhled
q war measure. This belief has been
strengthened and confirmed by my
experience in the department of pub
licity and my observation of the work
ings of similar agencies elsewhere. /
do not care, however, to be responsible
for a state managed and state-f1nanced
publicity department beyond the
period of necessity"
