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.
