C., April 20 -- Some of the greatest battles at' the first W orld War were waged ! over sugar--at the breakfast, lun ch and dinner tables. The Gov ernment set up State rationing. 1 county rationing, local rationing, j school rationing, registers ration ' ing and other racy rationing' pro ! grams. j The Administrator fur this war , puts the sad news into a booklet. J He says it takes 28.8UO.OOO pound. a day of sugar to feed Americans. In normal times 27 per cent of our sugar has come from the Philippine Island and Hawaii an other 'j.') per cent from the West Indies; and homegrown sugar has furnished 88 per cent—wnich in plain figures shows that 78 per cent or nearly one third of the sugar supply, has been rais< d at home or at our doorstep. The amount of beet and cane sugar normally raised in the L llited States is about 2,208,000 tons the most of which has ben taised in Louisiana. Texas and Florida have been kept on the “idle acres list," with bounties from the Gov ernment to hold down their cane sugar production. Beet sugar has been “discouraged" so long that the industry has not flourished. U. S. sugar production has been a \io lation of "planned agriculture”— badly planned. Senator Andrews of Florida recently said — “We can without delay produce in my state many times the1 sugar now being produced.” And Senator Pepper of the same state put his finger on the fundamental vice of the su gar planning system when he said | “It is a pretty severe restraint to ! a person that he cannot grow su gar cane on his own land, and that he cannot refine the output in his own factory.” The Agricultural Adjustment ! Administration has restrained I farmers from raising sugar beets, ' or refiners from refining sugac. At the same time there has been what in peacetime would be called “propaganda,” to the effect that all the sugar facilities of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the Phil ippines should have a monopoly . .'ii cigar production. You don't have to follow the - iih loot very far to realize that there i- convincing truth in the .protests made to Congress again st sugar production restraints in the railed States. Or. to put it more plainly, this scare about a . sugar shortage does seem to! he very well supported by the facts :n the ease, inasmuch as all •the shortage that w always have ! from the Caribbean -rowers. But . trot along to the sch ml house and. get your rationing cards!

Navy Ex-Service Men Can Now Meet Requirements Hundreds of ex service men in his state who previously coin.1 tot meet Navy aye requirements io\v can qualify for re enlistment n the Navy under new regulations tnnounced today. Men with broken service iv. irds who were honorably di - hnrgcd from the N’avy now ran >e as old as ;!(1 years plus the len gth of previous Navy service in years, and, if physically and other wtise qualified, can again serve their country in an active duty capacity. In most cases they will lie re enlisted with the same rating they held upon discharge or with a higher rating, depending on the' length and character of previous j service and their experience cili ce discharge. Previous regular Navy service will be credited to ex-service men for longevity pay purposes and for computing ser vice toward transfer to the fleet reserve and retirement. If the age limit compueted un der the new regulation is 50 years or over, special approval must be obtained before re-enlist-1 mcnt is authorized.
