Sugar Situation
Battling Mystery

The most mystifying situation IN
our goVernment-managed economy
concerns sugar. Housewives over
the country are complaining about
their inability to get more sugar
for home use and canning yet from
the most authentic sources IT IS
learned that warehouses OF the
country are crammed with sugar.
Recently a Waterville housewife,
seeking an answer to the puzzle,
wrote to Congressman Horan and
the secretary of agriculture for IN
formation about sugar stocks IN
America, and reported in a letter
to The Spokesman-ReView that IN
reply to her inquiries these officials
told her that there were 8,l92OOO
1O0-pound bags of sugar IN western
sugar warehouses, and that the
United States is importing in adj
dition 5,7l1,000 tons of sugar from
Cuba for this year That IS H.
24l 100000 pounds.
Further testimony to this effect
was given by representative OF
the Utah-Idaho Sugar company IN
Seattle the other day, He said that
from 10000 to 100000 l00-pound
bags of sugar are now stored IN a
warehouse in Toppenish alone and
added:
When Secretary of Agriculture
Anderson announced he could see
no opportunity for increasing the
sugar supply to the consumer until
next year. we were surprised. 1t
doesn't seem reasonable in view Of
the tremendous crop staring us in
the face, with heavy refining start
ing in October, combined with the
Cuban sugar that will be arriving
on the east coast.
Every housewife will agree that
it doesn't seem reasonable, in fact,
doesn't make sense that, with over
10000, 100000 pounds of domestic
and imported sugar available, the
bulk of it in storage, home users
should be kept on meager sugar
dole through the height of the can
ming season.-The Spokesman-Re-
view.

TRUCKING ON
 ALASKA HIGHWAY

At this writing, favorable dec son by the Canadian cabinet al proving truck shipments in bon over the Alaska Highway from tA States to Alaska is anticipated, al cording to information given Del gate Bartlett by the State DepA ment.
 This action will settle the contr versy which arose over the inte pretation of the agreement mad in 1922 between the United Stat and Canada on the postwar use the highway. That agreement red in part: (. at the conclusion the war that part of the highwd which lies in Canada shall becorI in all respects an integral part the Canadian highway syster subject to the understanding th there shall at no time be impos| any discriminatory conditions relation to the use of the road between Canadian and Unit States civilian traffic"
 In first refusing to allow shi ment in bond of trucks over tl highway, Canada stated the hig way had not become "an integr1 part of the Canadian highway sy tenn" since its control was still1 the hands of the Canadian arn and, therefore, the agreement WI not effective. It was also stat| there was necessarily no discrir ination since Canadians were n permitted to ship in bond ov Canadian highways. A furth reason given for not implementi1 the agreement was that the end 1 the war has never been official proclaimed.
 It is understood all enablA regulations have been formulat| for approval by the cabinet so tn as short time as possible WI elapse before trucks in bond WI travel over the highway betwe| the States and Alaska.

(AnchOrage Daily llmeS)
 Creation of the Loussac Foundation for the purpose of making from property owned by Z d. Lous- sac available in pepetuty for the benefit of the people of Anchorage, was completed last Saturday.
 The event was of the most important that has happened to the city of Anchorage for 1t marks an nno- vaon the daily life of the community It also the first time Alaskan has expressed so ndebly his love for his hometown and his gratitude for many happy years of activity.
 The event was also new high mark for personal gen. erosity.
 Mr. Loussac named four prominent residents of the city serve with him board of governors and gave them wide discretionary powers in expending the money which, until Saturday. to be his personal property.
 The plan makes $18OOO year available in the imme- diate future This fund will increase the years go by Upon his death Mr. Loussac has willed that his entire estate be placed in trust that the revenue will be still further substantially increased and made available for projects of recreational, scientific cultural educational nature.
 Simultaneously with the creation of the Loussac Foundation, Mr. Loussac made gift to it of his one- half interest in the 56O0OO office building now under construction at Fifth Avenue and D Street.
 Mr. Loussac's generosity is overwhelming
 Never before the history of Alaska has this type of generosity and brotherly love been demonstrated.
 Mr. Loussac, in all the documents accompanying the transfer of the property the willing of his estate, the establishment of a trust and the organization of the oussac Foundation has been moved by the desire to maintain his property after his death with the sole vie of making the revenue available for many many years to come.
 While he still lives Mr. Loussac will sit with the four governors of the Foundation and have of five votes in determining how what would ordinarily be his own money will be expended.
 First among the projects will probably be promin- ent library building and swimming pool for Anchor age These projects have been mentioned by Mr. Lous sac as two which he is particularly interested It is logical to assume that the governors will give them special attention.
 For the first tme this community has agency in a position to carry forward worthy projects for which there has always been great need but shortage of funds As long this work continues Mr. Loussac will remain an active and prominent figure in the daily lives of his friends and neghbors.

Seeks Methods to Boost
American Food Output

WASHINGTON.-The agriculture
department announced that Secre-
tary Anderson has directed aids to
re-examine the 1916 food produc-
ton goals to ascertain whether it is
possible to produce more food to
help relieve world shortages.
Goals announced last month call
for nearly nine million acres more
of cultivated crops than were plant
ed last year, but for slightly smaller
live stock production. 1t is possible
the department may ask farmers to
plant even more land to grains than
previously suggested.
The department said Anderson
also had asked that farm price sup
port programs be reviewed to as
certain whether they provide incen-
tives to encourage the largest pos
sible production, and that consid-
GRAFTON be given to the need for
~"stockpile programs to take ad-
vantage of seasonal peaks in the
production of dairy and poultry
products, fats and vegetable oils
and meats"

Britdin'S Future
Queen Likes Music
She Wants Ii Sweet and Hot,
And Is Fond of Dancing.

LONDON. - Britain's l9-year-old
Princess Elizabeth is a Bing Crosby
fan and has collected score of re-
cordings by the American crooner
which she plays on her monograph
just like millions of other teen
age girls in her country and the
United States.
The blue-eyed princess used to
regard Clark Gable and Enrol Flynn
as her favorite actors, it was dis
closed, but now she has decided that
England's Laurence Olivier is
tops among the screen players.
Britain's future queen loves to
dance. She has been known to
lead a conga line out of the ball
room and through the corridors
OF Buckingham palace or Windsor
castle at private parties which have
lasted until five a. m.
She likes light music both
sweet and hot. Her all-time favor
lite tune, which she requests at
public and private dances, is Cole
Porter's Might and Day." Her sec
ond choice is Jerome Kern's
Smoke Gets in Your Eyes"
But she is an accomplished seri-
GUS pianist and her repertoire in
cludes Bach, Brahms and Beetho-
ven.
Like her mother, Elizabeth is tall
IS feet, Z inches - dignified and
plump. Her eyes are very blue and
her brown hair is worn simply, with
a right hand part falling soft waves
to curls at the ends. She uses little
makeup and no nail polish and she
likes to wear Junk" %jewelry.
Costly heirlooms are reserved for
state occasions and the only genu-
inc jewelry she wears day by day
is the double strand of pearls to
which her father adds each BIRTH
day.
Her daytime hours are filled with
public engagements and study, but
whenever she can the Princess
likes to ride, dance and act. She
fell in love with her first small
pony and her biggest ambition is to
own a racing stable.
Intense interest centers on her
future choice of a husband but she
seldom talks of marriage. She as
sumes that one day she will have a
husband just like anyone else.

Weather Forecast Called
Defense Aid by Air Force

WASHINGTON. The army air
forces now get a complete new
weather forecast of the entire world
every six hours.
Col. Donald N. Yates, chief of the
AAF weather service, told a house
interstate subcommittee recent

sary in the interest of national de-

ready to send a fleet of warplanes
from any one point in the world to
any other point" Yates told the

The colonel appeared to advocate
continued separate weather fore
casting systems for civil and mill
