In whose cup?

In whose cup?
 Yours or the soldiers?
 Are you going to save sugar or are you going to waste it?
 Are you going to use the smallest amount of sugar possible, or are you going to continue to use sugar as you did in the days before the war?
 Saving sugar here means sugar over there, and ships to carry it, from here to there.
 You probably have heard that there is no shortage of sugar and that the raw sugar output is as big, as, if not bigger than ever, and some one has told you that there is no need of saving sugar. This is the most insidious sort of German propa- ganda because it is partly true and partly false.
 The shortage in sugar in this coun- try is not due to any shortage in sugar crop, but to a shortage of ships.

Seventy-fve per cent. of the sugar used in this country has to be car ried here in ships. These same ships are needed to transport our troops, our munitions, and the food for the Allies and our soldiers and sailors, to France. Part of these sugar carrying ships have been transferred to more important carrier service. This has resulted in a largely lessen ed import tonnage of sugar and this means a shortage of sugar here.
 Our soldiers and sailors and the Allies must be supplied with sugar. That supply must come out of our limited supply here.
 No law has been asked to compel the individual to a apportion his supply of sugar in a sensible, logical and unselfish manner.
 The Food Administration merely ASKS you to save.
 What are you going to do about it?
