Hope for Sugar Industry Faces House Hurdles in Adams Bill
Senate backed a measure 45 to 26 to let domestic sugar growers claim part of quota increases caused by Philippines shortages. Senator Connally warned of efforts to defeat the Adams bill in the House, arguing for American producers to get a fair share. Montana beet growers fear stockpiles under strict quotas while overall U S sugar consumption is largely from domestic production. The piece notes complex debates over foreign goodwill versus American industry welfare and hints at broader economic trends in trade and finance.

Manufacturers weigh 24 hour plant push against limits
Industry seeks Roosevelt’s call to run machine tool plants 24 hours daily seven days a week but repairs and union rules complicate rapid adoption. Six day, 24 hour shifts appear preferable yet costs rise, especially near Detroit with double pay for Sunday work and time and a half for extra shifts. Skilled labor shortages and 60 hour weeks hinder adding shifts until new workers join. French trends toward choosing the sandwich appear noted.

Quinine a Strategic Drug in National Defense
The article argues quinine is a key strategic material for national defense against malaria. It traces quinine’s role from its medical use to global supply, noting the Cinchona tree’s origins in South America and the shift to Dutch and British cultivation, with attempts at synthetic production and a U S government order for 700,000 ounces from Amsterdam. It also highlights the tree’s historical discovery, colonial distribution, and the coal tar dye link from Sir William Perkin. A Philadelphia teacher in the army appears as a brief aside.
