SUGAR ALLOTMENTS TO
BE LOWER THIS YEAR

Washington - Overall civilian
allotments of sugar will be six
per cent less this year than in
1943 but Individual rations prob
ably will not be reduced.
The War Food Administration
(WFA) has announced the gen.
eral allotment reduction. From
sources in the Office of Price Ad-
ministration (OPA) however, it
was learned that in order to
avoid a household ration cut the
expiration dates Of sugar coupons
will be eliminated to prevent
''precipitous buying"
The civilian use reduction will
apply to industrial users, said
VIA with allowances amounting
to 70 per cent, rather than 80
per cent of the amount used dur
ing the base period upon which
allotments are figured.

Doughton and his secretaries,

Doughton telephoned all other

There is no use for you or for
us to sit around and cry about
what these government agencies
are doing to agriculture, Con-
gresham John Phillips, (R), Cali
fornia, said at the conference with
growers. Tine agricultural COM
mittee tried to get a bill through
that would put all this food pro-
duction deal in the hands of one
man but it is tied up and we can't
get it out for vote. Therefore,
let's let the public in on this mess.
We have so many complaints about
conflicting orders from the OPA,
the VIA, and all the other agen-
cieS meddling in agriculture that
we must get at the source of the
trouble. Let's get the heaCs of these
agencies before us every time we
have complaint about rules and
whatnot and ask them why they
issued the orders, Wnere tney got
their ideas for the orders, and
what they hope to accomplish by
