Sugar shortages drive West Indies to supply Europe
The article notes Allied needs strained by shipping limits, with West Indies supplying 1.42 million tons of sugar to Europe, far above prewar demand, while Java had already shipped 400,000 tons. Hoover cites reduced French and British rations, and America’s aid, with possible mobilization of sugar for troops if consumption drops 10 to 15 percent. It also lists regulatory controls on cane refiners and sugar prices, plus recruitment appeals in Indiana for guards and aeroplane industry workers.
