Cabinet Takes Up Release Of Sugar
Washington cabinet committees on the high cost of living discussed releasing additional government held food, especially sugar, but no decision was made. Secretary Daniels, present for the first time, cited six months of navy sugar on hand and queried whether supplies could be secured in the market. Boston announced a soon to be enacted zone system for sugar distribution, with New England to receive Cuban sugar and other regions to be served by Louisiana beet sugar and local beet production. Hartford reported Connecticut would not be rationed for sugar, addressing rumors of New York plans to ration the city like wartime.
