SWEET DRINKS
EXHAUST SUGAR
America and Europe To
Be In Competition for
Cuban Crop.

The soft drink wave that rose with
prohibition is partly responsible for
the scarcity of sugar. so said experts
before the Senate Committee on Agri-
culture yesterday. The increased con-
sumption of soft drinks and candy has
increased the country's sugar demand
IS per cent since 1914. and the demand
cannot be supplied without some new
effort by the government toward Sc
curing a larger share Of the foreign
crop.
These statements were made by DR..
Alonzo Taylor who recently complet-
ed a sugar survey for the Department
OF Agriculture, and Judge william A.
Glasgow, Of counsel for the Sugar
Equalization Board, which handled
the sugar supply during the war.
After five years of war privations,
the people of Europe are rebeilins
against food restrictions and indulg-
ing in an orgy of sugar, IT was stated.
(. America and Europe will compete for
the Cuban crop which is the largest
supply in the world. and prices will
go skyward unless the United States
government continues the SUPERVISION
it exercised during the war. Senators
learned.
