1 consume 6,7OO,OO0 tons of sugar 8 year. If it were available, We would use between 8,5O0OO0 and 5000, ,O00 tons year now. But for this year only 5,400,000 tons are available for American use.
 The British the Canadians and Americans are getting idential quantities of sugar, per person. About 100000 tons a year are allo- cated to European countries and to U.NRRA.
 Europe used to be self sufficient, for practical purposes. In 1940-41 notwithstanding the bitter war then being fought, the Continent produced more than 10,700,000 tons of sugar. Last year she pro duced-for consumption this year only 5,64O,0OO tons, deficit of more than five million tons or almost 50 per cent. Moreover, of this years supply, 2,480,000 tons, or almost half are behind RusSiaS iron curtain and of no material use to the dem- ocracies.
 Asia, traditionally, is the worlds biggest sugar producer. Tn 1940-41 she raised more than 11,600,000 tons. But India, Japan, China &C., counted for 6,400,000 tons of that, which they used mostly at home. Only the Philippines and Java contributed materially to the worlds supply. And what cane fields in those countries were not devastated by hostilities were so neglected by the Jap conquerors that they are in terrible shape
 BACKLOG FAIRLY GOOD
 The Philippines, which used to produce more than 100000 tons a year, is having to get sugar from us now. Next year it is hoped that she can get started toward rehabilitation with an 82,500-ton crop. Java, which used to raise almost two million tons, has only 27,500 tons this year for her own people, If the current political strife can be ended, insiders hope for a PTS, ,000-ton crop next year which would put Java once more into the export business. But only if condi- tions settle down. The Javans now are too busy fighting to raise sugar

 SHARING SWEETS
 WITH WORLD
 A great deal of mystification about the sugar situation is due to the old American custom of think ing about their country in a vacuum It is reflected in question which sounds about like this: Now that the war is over and we have plenty of ships, why can't we get all the sugar we want? Cuba produced more than half again as much as before Pearl Harbor, and Hawaii and Puerto Rico almost as much. They more than make up for the Philippines. There ought not to be any sugar shortage"
 If the United States did live in an economic vacuum with Cuba as sweet satellite, there needn't be any sugar rationing now. The United States (the continent, Ha- waii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin lslands) plus Cuba produced al- most 8 million tons more sugar for the l945-6 year than in the last pre-Pearl Harbor year, and this virtually offsets the fact that the Philippines were put out of business by the Japs.
 The reason that we still are short of sugar is because this country and Great Britain are sharing their sweetness with the rest of the world. And the world supply is in bad shape. That state ment rests upon detailed statis- tics, which would be boring, for every important sugar producer. Out of them there came a few sugar facts which help to explain our shortage and which are not too well understood by most lay men.

New York. Oct. 2-(NEA)-You might just as well eat those grapes, or make them into unfortified wine. Rake up the crabapples and dump them on the compost heap, unless you know some hogs that would like them raw. And don't get any false notions about preserving or pickling your peaches or pears.
 The sugar shortage is here for the remainder of the 1946 season. Both governmental and private experts agree that the sugar ration you now have is all that you can hope for until next Spring.
 But here's some good news. You've waited since the Spring of 1922, and time after time you have imagined that treat for your ach- ing sweet tooth was just around the corner. At last it looks as though you were right.
 Insiders say that by April of 1947 there ought to be a substantial im- provement in the sugar supply that should be reflected in more liberal AoUAOAAAA16. 1A1Iu Uc1OIS UIl6 61lu LII next year-perhaps about the time the new crop begins hitting gro- cer's shelves, it may be possible to remove rationing altogether. THREE CONDITIONS
 The more cautious warn that this optimistic forecast depends up- on at least three conditions. It is possible:
 If the raising, harvesting and processing of cane and the re-
 1ning of sugar is not handicap ped by too many strikes, sit downs, slOwdowns and other labor troubles.
 If the normal flow of importa- tion, upon which we depend for more than half of our sugar, is not disrupted by shipping and dock strikes.
 If the war-devastated Philip pines and Java begin producing

mark, Spain. That would add some 60 per cent to the domestic sup ply available to the non-Soviet nations of Europe, and take a lot of pressure of the sources of American supply.
 The present stockpile or backlog, in this country is described as being
