from the insular possessions should
the need arise.
Housewives in Washington also
heard rumors that great quantities
of canned goods, meats, poultry and
eggs, dairy products, cereals, veg
etables and fruits are being bought
up for the Army. In particular,
they heard, most of the seasons
pack" of canned vegetables and
meats has been reserved for the
armed forces.
Little Effect on Food.
On the other hand, agents for
the Quartermaster Corps and the
Agriculture Department point out
that "the increasing military forces
will have little effect on civilian
food supplies in 1941." The increase
of men on active duty is expected
to be less than a million over last
years total.
The Agriculture Department
pointed out that 1.-The Army ration
calls for considerably more meat,
butter. cereals and potatoes than
the average civilian consumes. The
Army uses less fresh milk and less
fruit than civilians and tends to
used canned vegetables and fruits
rather than the fresh commodities
mo matter how many men the
Army adds we still have the same
number of stomachs to feed in this
country" said a QuartermaSter
Corps agent.
Some canneries, it was said, ex-
pect to expand production this year
to meet service orders. Economists
with the Consumers Division, Ma
tional Defense Advisory Commis-
sion, said plans are being made to
spread food purchases for the Army
and to place them in seasons when
the civilian demand Is lowest.

Householders frightened into
boarding food by the current crop
of war rumors may be left holding
several bags, including sugar bags.
The rumors started small runs
this week on sugar stocks in Wash
ington and various parts of the
country. A few o. the runs got far
enough to force temporary ration
ing
Yet Government experts and
sugar dealers agree that this COM
modify cannot run short or climb
much in price for months, no mat
ter how the war goes.
The current tempest in the sugar
bowl seems to have started from a
wire service dispatch quoting a
domestic producer as predicting
wartime prices and Federal "ra-
tioning" Women who remembered
standing in line for tiny bags of
precious sugar during the World
War were not slow to respond.
Regulated by Quotas.
Nevertheless, sugar supplies, which
are regulated by marketing quotas,
are said to be ample in the United
States, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the
Philippines.
In Cuba the producers, it was said,
we're debating how much to reduce
the surplus, now that the European
war has cut on part Of their market.
Just after the new war broke out
In Europe a run on sugar in this
country sent prices up slightly, but
marketing quotas we're lifted, and
prices soon returned to normal. The
Federal Government still exercises
this quota power. and, furthermore,
could allocate ships to bring sugar
