Effect on Military Situation.

American sugar stocks could be fill
ed to normal very soon if ships could
be sent to Java, where 100000 tons OF
sugar is waiting for shipment But
the shipping situation is so acute that
the nation cannot spare the eleven
ships needed to transport this sugar.
1t would take the boats one year to
haul 900 tons. In the same time
they could be used for transporting
100000 soldiers to France
The food administration believes
that the American public will diminish
its sugar consumption by 10 or Is per
cent when it is made clear that such
sugar saving is a patriotic act and
when 1t is understood that there are
plenty Of sweeteners available to take
the place of sugar, such as honey or
corn syrup

SUGAR CONTROL
SAVED MILLIONS
American Consumer Profited by
$4,000, OOO-French Stu
alton Helped.
HOME PRICE HELD AT 9 CENTS.
This Nations Sugar Supply Reduced
to Seventy Per Cent of Normal.
Java Stocks Unavailable.

Sugar control has saved the Amer
lean public s1s0,000000 Herbert Hooy-
err, United States food administrator,
declared the other day.
He pointed out that sugar was sell
ing for IL cents a pound last August
and that it would have advanced to 20
cents a pound, with the world short
age as a stimulus, had not the food
administration secured the co-opera-
ton Of the refners and wholesalers
and fixed a sugar price that today en-
ables housewives to buy sugar at from
Sh TO . cents pound.
Every / cent raise in sugar from
September l to January l means SlS,-
GOO, 900 to the American consumer"
MIR. Hoover said. Numbers of gen
tlemen will tell you that 20 cent sugar
would have prevailed and the public
robbed of 10000 900 this year II we
had not taken these actions" Later
Mr.. Hoover called attention TO the fact
that uncontrolled sugar advanced to
IS cents a pound during the Civil War.
France Got Our Sugar
Today the American public has been
allotted 20 per cent, of its normal sup
ply. Before the war the average an
nual household consumption here was
50 pounds person In England the
annual consumption during the war is
"A pounds, and in France each person
is allotted a little over one pound
month
IN August the French government
found itself unable to maintain even
this ration Mr. Hoover declared.
AN appeal was made to America.
France needed 1000 tons. We
agreed 70 fll this demand and up to
December had shipped S5,426 tons. In
the meantime an appeal was made to
the American public to reduce it's sug-
ar consumption, and requests were
made to distributors TO supply the
confectionery and sweet drinks trade
with 80 per cent. Of normal supply
This has been generally followed, al
though such regulations were volun-
tary, as the food administration had
no authority to impose them"
Domestic Price Is aLa to g Cents.
Retail grocers throughout the coun-
try are supposed to take profit OF no
more than so cents a hundred-half a
cent pound-on sugar. BY reason of
food administration regulations, bind
ing refiners and wholesalers, the re-
taller is able today to buy sugar at
from s to 81 cents a pound. This
enables him to sell to the housewife at
Sh to 8 cents a pound.
There have been some violations OF
the sugar rulings Mr.. Hoover said
recently: "Sales of sugar from 16 to
20 cents per pound have been reported
and followed up vigorously and stop
ped and is evidence itself Of the prices
at which consumers would have been
mulct had we not interviewed. We have
forfeited wholesalers licenses in ag-
gravated cases, and we have issued
