Roosevelt halts sugar marketing quotas in wartime move
President Roosevelt ordered suspension of sugar marketing quotas amid rising world demand and suspected speculation to curb food costs. Officials forecast bumper grain yields and no U.S. food shortage, with quotas to resume if needed for producers. Housewives and others hailed the action as a wartime price-control measure. The shift aligns with agriculture forecasts of higher crop yields and reflects broader war-time profiteering concerns.
