AGENTS WANTED IN UNOCCUPIED TERRITORY Powell Fuel Company t Columbia, South Carolina SUGAR CONTROL SAVED MILLIONS -?I . * ? ; American Consumer Profited by $ 1 60,000,000? French Situ ation Helped. HOME PRICE HELD AT 9 CENTS. This Nation's Sugar Supply Reduced to Seventy Per Cent, of Normal. Java Stocka Unavailable. Sugar control has saved the Amer ican public $190,000,000, Herbert Hoov er, United State# food administrator, declared the other day. He pointed out that sugar was sell ing for 11 cents a pound last August and that it would have advanced to 20 cents a pound, with the world short uge an a, stimulus, had not the food administration secured the coopera tion of the rellners j^nd wholesalers and fixed a sugar price that today en ables housewives to buy sugar at from 8*4 to 9 cents a pound. "Every 1 cent raise In sugar from September 1 to January 1 means $18, 000,000 to the American consumer," Mr. Hoover said. "Numbers of gen tlemen will tell you that 20 cent sugar would have prevailed and the pi: die robbed of $180,000,000 this >ear If we had not taken these actions." Later Mr. Hoover called attention to the fact tbat uncontrolled sugar advanced to 85 cents a pound during the Civil War, France Got Our Sugar. Today the American public lias been allotted 70 per cent, of Its normal sup ply. llefore the~\var the t vorage an* nual household consumption here was 55 pounds a person. In England the annual consumption during the war Is 21 pounds, and In France each person is allotted a little over one pound a month. VI n August the French government found itself unable to maintain even this ration," Mr. Hoover declared. "An appeal was made to America. France needed 100,000 tons. Wo agreed to fill this demand and up to Docember bad shipped 85,420/ tons. In the meantime an appeal wo* made to the American public to reduce its sug ar consumption, and requests' were made to distributors to supply the confectionary and sweet drinks trade with 60 per cent, of normal supply. This has been generally followed, al though such regulations were volun tary, as the food administration had no authority to Impose them." Domestic Price Is 8/2 te 9 Cente. Retail grocers throughout the coun try are supposed to take a profit of no more than 50 cents a hundred ? half a cent a pound ? on sugar. By reason of food administration regulations, bind ing refiners and wholesalers, the re taller Is able today to buy sugar at from 6 to cents a pound. This enables him to sell t^o the housewife at 8V4 to 9 cents a pound. There have been some violations of the sugar rulings. Mr. Hoover said recently: "Sales of sugar .from 10 to 20 cents per pound have been reported and followed up vigorously and stop ped and Is evidence Itself of the prices at which consumers would have been mulct had we not Intervened. We have forfeited wholesalers' licenses In ag gravated cases, and we have Issued warnings to first offenders In a great many instances through our local ad ministrators." Effect on Military Situation. American sugar stocks could be fill ed to normal very soon if ships could be sent to Java, where 250,000 tons of sugar Is waiting for shipment. But the shipping situation is so acute that the nation cannbt spare the eleven ships needed to transport this sugar. It would take the boats one year to haul 260,000 tons. In the same time they could be used for transporting 200,000 soldiers to France. The food administration believes that the American public will diminish Its sugar consumption by 10 or 15 per coat when it Is made clear that such sugar saving Is a patriotic act aad when it is understood that there are plenty of sweeteners available to take the place of sugar, such as honey or corn syrup. Why Shortage Exists. The three great sugar producing cen ters of the world are Germaay, the West and East Indies. German sugar la, of course, used at home. The Kast Indian sugar ts unavailable because of the ship shortage. While U boats made big Inroads on the world's shipping, France and Italy ceased to b? self sustaining in sugar manufacture. England In the mean-j time was cut off from German sugsr ? 1,400,000 tons a year ? because of the war. The result has been that the al lied nations have been forced to turn! to America snd the West Indies for their Sugsr. | EVADE RIQID FOOD CONTROL. Food Is Beuoht In Qermany Surrepti tiously In Violation of Auto cratic Rulings. Even the autocratic food control of Germany has been powerless te pro vent surreptitious sales, according to semi-official reports reaching the Ualfc ed States food administration. Illegal sales of butter are being made in Ger many at prices ranging from $1.75 to $2.25 a pound. Eggs sold contrary to , the German food regulations are bringing 10 to 15 cents apiece, accord ing to these reports And bacon -wr ; bam is bringing from $2.25 to $3-20 a pound.
