The main sources Of available
sugar for the United States and
the Allies are narrowed down 20
the West Indies principally Cuba,
Hawaii. the Philippines, Louisi-
ana, and the susar-beet fields Of
the Middle West.
Cuba has now increased its pro
duction Of sugar cane, but Eng
land, France and other foreign
countries perforce have increased
their iraportations Of sugar from
Cuba.
There is an abundance of sugar
in far-away Java. 1t is as useless
to the world as unnined sold. be-
cause no nation can spare the
ships TO carry it.
This country and Europe could
only procure sugar from Java by
using ships badly needed TO carry
American troops and supplies 70
France.
1t takes $50 days for q cargo
ship travelling at the rate Of 200
miles a day to 60 from England
to Java and return, counting in
the loading and disci1arsia8 at
both ends. The same ship travel
ing between REV Xo4k and France
takes so days fer round trip.
Therefore the same ship can
make three round trips between
New York and France while IL is
making one round trip between
England and Java.
The competition among nations
for Cuban raw sugar has forced
up its price, with q necessary cor
responding increase in the cost of
refined sugar. This competition
has now been overcome by the
combined efforts o9 the United
States Food Administration. the
Allied Governments, and all ele.
ments Of the sugar industry.

amount Of sugar every day.
The supply Of raw sugar in the
early summer gave evidence of
being enough for all needs.
But the rate of consumption had
increased. An extra 450,0O0,OO0
pounds were required to meet the
needs of the people from June up

A part Of This increased demand
for sugar was due TO the nation

the fruit and jam Jar instead of
the sugar bowl.
Sugar has sold in the United
States throughout the war at an
average price lower than in any
other country. 1t is one of the
cheapest foods the nation has.
Admittedly one Of the reasons
for this brilliant showing, in view
Of changed world conditions, has
been the fast that the domestic
cane refining industry is in large
units.
It is q noteworthy tribute to the
domestic refining industry which
will be better appreciated the
more the events Of the last two
years are studied.
