a statement made by Herbert Koover“
the other day.
"It Is our stern duty to feed the al-
Ilcs. to maintain their health and
strength at any met to mnelvcl."
Mr. llmver declared. “There baa not
been. nor’wlll be u we see It, enough
sugar for even their present meagre
and depreltslnl; ration unless they send
ships to remote markets (or it. It we
in our greed and gluttony force them
either to further reduce their ration
or to send these ships we will have
done damage to our abilities to win ,
this war. 3
. “If we send the ship. to Javn
tor 250.1!» tons of sugar next year
we will have neceaaltated the em-
ployment of eleven extra ahi lot-
one year. Thus ships-if and in
transporting troops—woo take 1
150.000 to museums to France."
Reason for World Shortage.
As Mr. ilom'er pointed out, the
l'nltt-d Sixties. Canada and Ettulnnd
were Hlthll' importing countries before
the Will, while Franco and Ituly Were
wry nearly self supporting. Them-in
hources of the wand'n- sugar supply
was Germany and neighboring powers,
the West lndicn'und the Ban: Indies.
German sugar is no longer available,
as it is used entirely Inflermnny,
which also absorbs sugar of surround:
in]; countries. . , ‘
l-anlund can no longer buy 1,400,000;
long ions of sugar each year from
Germany. The French sugar produc- 3
lion has dropped from 750.000 to 210,- '
om tons. The ltltlinn production bani
fallen from 210,000 tons to 75,001 tons. ,
'l‘llus three countries were thrown i
upon lint-t and West lndlnn sources
for 1.925.000 tons annually to maintain ,
their normal muttulnption. :
ltccnuse of the world's shipping
shortage the allied nations started
drawing on the West indies for sugar; 5’
East Indian sugar took three tlmen,
the number of ships. since the dis-i
more was three times as great. Sud
tletlly the west was called on to fur-
nish untl did furnish 1,420,000 tons ot ‘
sugar ‘to Europe when 800,000 tons n
year was the pro-war demand. 1119'
Miles had drawn from Java 400,01)
come acute.
"in spite of these shipments." Mr.
llmver stated the other day, “the .
English government in Augunt reduced
the household sugar mtion to a basis .
of '24 pounds per nnnum per cnpitn.
And in September the French govern-‘-
ment reduced their household ration.
to 111 2-10 pounds n your. or it hit over .
1 pound of sour a month. Even this i
meagre rntloll could not be filled by
the French government it was found
en’rly in the full. America was then i
"sized for 100.000 tons of sugar and'
succeeded in sending 85.00) tonn by;
December 1. The French request was ;
crzmted because the American housed
hold consumption was then at least lib i
pounds per person. and it was consld- ;
‘ eretl the. duty of maintaining the:
French morale mode onr‘coum clear." i
Today the sonar altuntlew they
be summarized by‘ stating that it
America will reduce its sugar cen-
numptlon 10 to 15 per cent. thin
