AR, /gSi A-MERICAN families would have less sugar than the . people of war torn France, if we depended entirely on our home-grown sugar stocks. Approximately 75 per scent. of our sugar is shipped to our shores. We produce about 1,000,000 tons of sugar a y«ar. Our imports from abroad amount to over 3,000,000 tons a year in normal times. The United States Food Administration asks each fatally to Ifthit its use of sugar to two pounds per month per person for household use. The military situation demands that every available ship be placed at the disposal of the Army or Navy. When we save sugar, we save shipping.
