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 nc
need of saving sugar. This is the
most insidious sort of German propa.
ganda because it is partly true ~ano
partly false.
The shortage in sugar in this
country is not due to any shortage
in sugar crop, but to shortage o.
ships.
