SUGAR SHORTAGE IN
FRANCE NOW ACUTE

PHRIS July tS.-(By Tho Associated
Press )--American officials attempting
to solve the food question are confronted
with a sugar shortage in France that Is
said to call either for Americans to sac
riflce some Of their sweet drinks or Tor
the French to give up their sweet pas
tries.
The American officials. It Is under
stood, are decidedly in favor OF allow
ing Americans to continue the use or
suga~ for their sweet drinks. The
French authorities. however. are anxious
to-oHtatn sugar from the United States,
but expectation from the American
market now Is prohibited to protect
American consumers.
French food officials II Is explained
were given an option last fall on as
largesa proportion of the Cuban sugar
CROP ashley wished. The French. how
ever took only about 81 per cent OF the
CROP although American officials warn
ed them Of an impending world sugar
shortage. Now that the French face n
serious sugar deficit, they arc seeking
an American supply where prices arc
lower than elsewhere. Sugar is avail
able in Czecho-Slovakia, but the Czechs
are asking IS cents a pound. Sticks are
available elsewhere. but at prices far
higher than IN the United States
Consumption OF sugar has increased
at such an unexpected rate that Amer
lean rcfincrs have been unable to meet
the demand, although raw sugar is
abundant Since the United States went
dry, Il IS said here. consumption there
increased 10000 tons monthly. chiefly be-
cause Of its use in sweet drinks.
