In Who’s Cup ?
\
In whose cup? Are you going to use the smaller
Yours or the soldier’s? amount of sugar possible, or are yo
Are you going to save sugar or going to continue to use sugar a
are you going to waste it? you did in the days before the war
“ —J , --—! ■ - ■
Saving sugar here means suga
over there, and ships to carry it
from here to there.
You probably have heard that then
is no shortage of sugar, and that th<
raw sugar output is as big as. if no
bigger than ever, and someone ha
told you that (here is no need of sav
ing sugar This is the most insidlou
sort of German propaganda because
it is partly true and partly false.
The shortage in sugar in this cour
I try is not dtp' to any shortage in tb
! sugar crop, but to a shortage o
ships.
Seventy-live per cent, of the suga
used in this country has to be carrier
here in stiips. These same ships ar
needed to transport our troops, nil
munition-, and the food for the allie
and our soldiers and sailors, to Kn
rope. Part of these sugar-carryin
; siiips have been transferred to mor
important earrier service. This ha
resulted in a largely lessened Impor
i tonnage of sugar and this means
j shortage of sugar here.
Our soldiers and sailors and th
allies must be supplied with sugat
That supply must come out of ou
limited supply here
-No laws have been asked to compe
the individual to apportion his suppl;
of sugar in a sensible, logical and uu
V selfish manner.
- The Food Administration merely re
ijuests you to save.
What are you going to do about it
