Wash ington. D. G., Aug. 6, 1918.
Western Confectioner,
Seattle. Wash.
The United States food administra=
tion believes that It has already re-
strlcted the candy industry to q point
beyond which further reduction In the
use OF sugar VIII do more harm than
good. 1t has taken into account the
fact that the candy industry employs
ABOUT two hundred thousand people
and thai to cause the industry TO
close down would throw . very large
element OF our population out Of
work.
With present restrictions candy
| manufacturers can receive only so
per cent of the sugar needed to meet
their requirements. Even If the ST.
gar was entirely taken away II would
add only fifteen thousand tons a
month Of consumption thru other
channels. Should these fifteen thou
and tons be divided pro rata among
the American people. Il would give
each one less than 0ne-third Of .
pound a month in addition to what
they now receive.
The food administration does not
feel the resultant gain would com
pensate for the injury done TO an e.
tablished industry. The first reatrie-
tiOns placed on the use Of sugar were
directed against the confectloneT and
the additional restrictions now placed
upon his use Of sugar has put the
candy industry on ; par below that 81
any other manufacturing industry in
the country.
The food administration feels that
with present restrictions II should not
ask the candy industry for a further
contribution toward our war effori
unless the sugar situation becomes
still more serious than II IL today. IN
point OF hardship the manufacturer
have already suffered greater pTiva-
tion than individual hOusehoiders.
