SUGAR TEST

MORA! FIBER

Doubters Declared- Saving Staples Would Be Easy Compared With Sacrificing Luxuries.

FIGURES SHOW RESULTS.

American! Demonstrated Sturdy Support of War by Conserving for tht Benefit of tht 4 Allies. it fl Wlien ügures bean to show definitely that the people of the United States were actually reducing their consumption of foods needed abroad, the United States Food Administration was told that it was comparatively easy to bring about conservation of staple necessities; but that 5t would be far more difficult to accom

plish an actual decrease in the use of luxuries. The doubters took sugar as an example, and declared that It would be practically Impossible to bring our consumption of sugar down to a point that would meet only the food needs of the people. Now that demands upon ocean tonnage will be lightened, European nations will be able to go farther afield for foodstuffs, and will no longer be entirely dependent for sugar upon North American supplies. With the stocks now In prospect, we wil have sufficient sugar to place this Country back upon normal consumption;, the present short rafons in Eurppe, are not materially increased. J1J fie European ration is to be materially increased over the present low amount It can be only through the American people's making it possible by continued restriction to a greater or less extent here. '

The fact that the Food Administration has been able to relax tlie voluntary sugar ration is in itself proof that the ration of two pounds per person per month was generally observed throughout the country. This conservation allowed the Food Administration to build up a reserve, and to tideover the period of scarcity, until tluthe new crops of Louisiana cane am beet sugar were ready for distribution. The records of the Food Administration show that in July, August, September and October 995,000 tons were distributed. Normal consumption for that period is 1,000,000 tons. This shows a definite, concrete saving oi over 500.000 tons. These figures apply to sugar consumed on the table, in th4 kitchen and In the various Industries, and show conclusively that in the homes and public eating places of America, where 70 per cent of all our sugar is consumed, the sugar, consumption has been reduced by more than one-third. In the four-month period beglrining with July, this country normally uses 400,000 tons of sugar i3er month. Last July 200,000 tons entered Into distribution, hi August only 225.000 tons wore distributed. In September the figures showed 279,000' tbns, and then fell to 230,000 tons in October. There could be no moi definite proof that the American ptkmle have given Their loyal co-operation and support of the war. wm AN AMERICAN HAS IT THAT WAS EXPANDED. f iOoming to the relief of the distressed is not a new sensation to us Having sent shiploads of fod to thf famine sufferer of India as offhand edly as the housewife hentyi put a cu of the loaf to the wayfarer, lieemed the most natural thing in Uievprld to succor Belgium, to take on thej feeding of a nation quite informajly.. The test f peace is to sjimmo'' fo? the healing of nations devotion cun to that given fhe tasks of war.

METHODS OF DEMOCRACY.

J 4-

The extent to which the United States Food Administrator has relied on the voluntary", support of the American peopleis shown by a statement made . by the United States Food Administrator speaking before the Senate Agricultural Committee less than three months after this country entered the war. That he was justified in his implicit confidence in the strength of democracy has been clearly reflected by the measureof support we have lent the Alls. "If democracy- is worth any

thing," Mr. Hoover declared, "we r can do these things by co-opera- f tion, by stimulation, by self-sac- 4 rifice, by the patriotic mobillza- 4 tlon of the brains of this eountry. If It canuorbe doue in this i maimer it is better that we accevt German domination and 4 confess to failure of our political 4

f ideals, acquiesce in the superior f 4 Ity of the German conception n and eud for the German to in--i struct u Lu its mc." f
