Saving Sugar Saves Shipping During War Effort
AMAN families would have less sugar than the people of war torn France if we depended on our own growth. About 76 percent of our sugar is shipped domestically. We produce about 1,000,000 tons annually and import over 3,000,000 ec a year in normal times. The Food Administration asks each person to limit use to two pounds per month. The military need dictates ships be placed at the disposal of the Army and Navy. When we save sugar, we save resources.
