SUGAR SHOWED

py Reducing Consumption People Of
the United states Averted .
Famine at Homo In Spite
Of Low Supplies.

The fnci that the people Of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September md October
consumption OF sugar proves conclu-
sIvely that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as a whole stood ready to fol-
low the InjunctIons OF the Government.
Our normal consumption OF sugar In
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
total Of i.Co0.00o for the quarter
year.
IN July, when our sugar stringency
began 10 reach its height, consumptiSd
was reduced to 260 900 tons. In Au-
gust only $4,000 tons went into dis.
tgibution and in September only 279,-
600 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
n the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions OF the Food
Administration this country would
have been IN the lhroes OF n sugar
famine before the end of August. Our
visible supplies were 30 low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
Il would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption TO point where
sugar would no longer be mere lux
ury In the American diet.
Few accomplishments Of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-
domlnantly as this reduced consump-
tion o& sugar. BY II we have been able
to bridge over the period of strlngeney
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were in sight.
Now the nation Is In position 30
that II we choose we may return to
our normal home use of sugar. and
Europe, with the release of ships to 90
far afield, can maintain Its recent re-
stricted rations. II, however, those
nations are to increase their use Of
sugar very considerably It must be By
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump-
tion.
