NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 27.--The
following statement was issued last
night by Federal Food Administrator
Morgan;
A number of causes have cumulated
to make our sugar position more
difficult than we could have antici-
pated at the beginning of the year.
The increased shipping needed by our
growing army in France has necessi-
tated the curtailment of sugar trans
portation, particularly from the long
er voyage, and has thus reduced sup
plies both to the Allies and ourselves
from remote markets. Some of the
accessible sugar producing areas
have proved less yield than was
anticipated, such as certain West In
dian Islands. The domestic beet and
Louisiana crops have fallen below
anticipation. There has been some
destruction of beet sugar factories in
the battle area of France and Italy
We have lost considerable sugar by
submarines.
AS close an estimate as we can
make indicates reasonable expecta-
tion from all sources of about 100000
tons of sugar for United States con-
during the last half Of the
present year. This is based upon the
of the present measure
Allied ration. An Improvement in
shipping conditions would of course
relieve this situation as quantities of
sugar are in unavailable markets.
We must, however, base the distri-
button of sugar during the next six
months, upon the above footing
After that period the new West In
dian crop will be available.
, This supply of 100000 tons neces
states considerable reduction in our
consumption. To provide three
pounds Of sugar per month per per-
son for household use, to take care Of
our Army and Navy and to provide
for the necessary preservation of
fruit, milk, ct cetera, will require
about 100000 tons of sugar for the
next six months A household con-
of three pounds per month
per person, together with the special
allowance for home canning means q
reduction of some $3.50 in these
branches of consumption from normal
but it is still nearly double the ration
in the Allied countries and is ample
for every economical use.
In the plan Of distribution which
will now go into force, the less essen
tial users of sugar,-this, confection-
ers, soft drink manufacturers tobacco
manufacturers, ct ceters. will be hit
the hardest. The Administration re-
grets intensely any action that will
cause hardship to any individual, but
the situation is due to the Germans,
not to this Government. There are
a number of substitutes available to
the confectioners upon which no re-
strictions are placed.
In order to secure justice in distri-
button and to make the restrictive
plans as effective as possible no
manufacturer or wholesaler of sugar
