SUGAR SHOWED
OUR BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
tons War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
BY Reducing Consumption People OF
the United States Averted
Famine at Home In Spite
of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption of sugar proves conclu-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctions of the Government.
Our normal consumption of sugar In
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
a total of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only 325000 tons went into dis
tribution and in September only 279,-
600 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
II the general public had failed to
observe the injunetions of the Food
Administration this country would
have been in the thrOes of a sugar
famine before the end of August. Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
it would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to point where
sugar would no longer be mere lux
ury in the American diet.
Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-
dominantly as this reduced consump-
ton of sugar, BY it we have been able
to bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were in sight
Now the nation is in a position so
that if we choose we may return TO
our normal home use of sugar. and
Europe, with the release of ships to go
far afield can maintain its recent re-
stricted ratiOns. If, however, those
nations are to increase their use of
sugar very considerably 1t must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump-
ton.

AMERICAN SPIRIT
RELIED ON TO WIN.

In the light of succeeding events 1t
is interesting to recall the confidence
with which the United States Food

four months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer to Paris.

Do Their Share Of Saving TO
Help Win the War.

In addition to the 10000. 600 Allies,

farmers know, bad weather conditions
have cut down the other crops. es-
pecially the corn, oats and potatoes.
The necessity of transporting our
soldiers 10 the front in food ships is
one cause for the need of sending
more foodstuffs The distance from
New York to Liverpool is only one
half of that from Buenos Ayres, less
than one-third of that from Bombay
and almost one-fourth Of that from
Australia Consequently since it takes
so much less time to ship food from
here, more trips can be made and more
ships spared for transporting our men.

must be increased by one-half The
