Sugar Appeal
Goes 10 VIA
Michigan Shortage
Proves Serious

LANSING, Sept. IA P) -
Appeals for federal relief OF a
sugar shortage in Michigan and
northern Ohio were addressed
today by state officials to the
War Food Administration.
Charles Figy, state commits
sioner of agriculture, appealed
to Michigan Congressman to i'm
press the seriousness. of the
shortage on federal officials.
Michigan, he estimated, will
need upwards of 100000 one
hundred bags of sugar to Fill
existing orders and meet de-
mands until October /.
Clarence Botandcr, d p u y
commissioner of agriculture,
said Michigan sugar producers
told him the shortage was the re-
suit of the states short crop Of
sugar beets last year.
Bolander said M C h G n
wholesalers and retailers do not
carry large inventories of sugar
because they have been able to
draw upon producers storage.
This year, he said, there were no
reserves TO draw on and import
quotas were based on last years
inventories which were low in
this state.
In addition, he said, eastern
importers were slow to ship to
this state because the Office OF
Price Administration price cell
ing for the midwest states was
lower on the assumption there
would be a local sugar crop
available.

A union for peace, empowered
to hurl the joint armies and

gresSor nations, is the over
whelmingly popular ideal of
Mount Clemens residents poll
of public opinion conducted by
the League of Women Voters re-

Ninety-three per cent of those
queried favor a Union of Ma
tons to preserve the peace while
80 per cent went on record as
favoring armed Intervention in
the event of threats to world Sc
curity. Only five per cent felt
that the United States would be
justified, in the future, to rely
upon its own strength for pro-
lection. Eleven per cent indi-
Gated a belief that nations
which prove to be targets of flu
ture aggression should be left
alone to defend themselves.
The survey, which embraced
persons in all strata of the COM
munity's life, was built around
five major questions, with SUBJ

of those approached.

poll were: sSsSu~s
