States, at such times and from such sources, including any country 
whose quota has been so reduced, and subject to such terms and condi-
tions as he deems appropriate under the prevailing circumstances, a 
quantity of sugar, not in excess of the sum of any reductions in quotas 
made pursuant to this subsection: Provided^ however^ That any part 
of such quantity equivalent to the proration of domestic deficits to the 
country whose quota has been reduced may be allocated to domestic 
areas and the remainder of such quantity (plus any part of such 
allocation that domestic areas are unable to fill) shall be apportioned 
in raw sugar as follows: 
"(i) There shall first be purchased from other foreign coun-
tries for which quotas or prorations thereof of not less than three 
thousand or more than ten thousand short tons, raw value, are 
provided in section 202(c), such quantities of raw sugar as are 
required to permit importation in such calendar year of a total of 
ten thousand short tons, raw value, from such country;

Philippines 15 per centum of the remainder of such importation;

provided for in the preceding subparagraph (i), in amounts pro-
rated according to the quotas established under section 202(c): 
Provided, That if additional amounts of sugar are required the 
President may authorize the purchase of such amounts from any 
foreign countries, without regard to allocation; 
" (3) If the President finds that raw sugar is not reasonably avail-
able, he may, as provided in (2) above, cause or permit to be imported 
such quantity oi sugar in the form of direct-consumption sugar as 
may be required." 
SEC. 4. Sections 101 (j), 203, 205(a), 209(a), 209(c), and 307 of the
