A wartime editorial lauds U S citizens for cutting sugar use by over half a million tons in July to October, saving the home supply and preventing famine. It notes monthly reductions, urges continued restraint to aid Europe, and credits the Food Administration for bridging stringency until new crops arrive.
Retrospective notes recall the U S Food Administrator's hopeful public statement in July 1917 as Germany pressed toward Paris. He asserted that despite European gloom, democracy would defend the United States and cited prior results across directions to dispel fear.
Americans accept sugar allowance cuts from four to three pounds and then to two as needed for loyalty, showing daily sacrifices in wartime patriotism.
The piece argues that America's wartime food aid earned worldwide gratitude and that during peacetime the United States can gain global goodwill by continuing to share resources. It emphasizes humanitarian leadership and multilateral friendship as a path to stability.
The United States Food Administrator argues there is no royal road to food conservation and that voluntary action by all citizens, in proportion to needs, ensures equal burden. Autocratic control failed in enemy lands, while democratic sharing sustained the country and Allies.
