Possible Sugar Rationing In 1948
CHICAGO June 27. Sugar rationing will continue into 1947 and possibly into 1948 according to OPA official Geoffrey Baker and Earl B Wilson of the California & Hawaii Sugar Corp. They said domestic sugar supplies cannot meet unrestricted demand next year and beyond. Baker predicted rationing needed at least another year beyond April 1947. Wilson saw no rate increase before mid 1947 and hoped rationing could end by early 1948. There are about 23 500 miles of navigable U.S. rivers and 40 rivers improved by canalization.
