Effect on Military Situation.

American sugar stocks could be fill

he sent to Java, where 100000 tons of
sugar is waiting for shipment. But
the shipping situation is so acute that
;he nation cannot spare the eleven
ships needed to transport this sugar
1t would take the boats one year to
haul 25G.000 tons. In the same time
they could be used for transporting
100000 soldiers TO France.

that the American public will diminish
its sugar CONSUMPTION by 10 or. Is per
cent. when it is made clear that such

While U boats made big inroads on

time was cut of from German sugar
