THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAOTEER vmrg ,0 PAGb FOUR (First Section) 3 1 See SPECIAL COFFEE Sugar Increase Must Wait Until Cuba Crop Comes In April 1946 Sugar will remain short at least until April, when the new crop of raw cane sugar will be coming in from Cuba, authorities in the sugar trade reported yesterday. No end of sugar rationing was foreseen before the end of 1946 although an increase in rations is likely by mid-year. There is a shortage of sugar at this time for a variety of reasons, some of which may be traced back three years, according to Lamborn & Co., 99 Wall Street, one of the country"s largest sugar brokerage houses. One was the failure of the United States to encourage sugar production. In 1943, for example, this country was willing to buy only 3,000,000 tons from Cuba when she was prepared to furnish 500,000,000 tons. Consequently Cuba produced 3,225,000 tons and the United States had to cut into its reserve.

In 1944 more than 900,000 tons of sugar were diverted to alcohol produc tion in the synthetic rubber indus try, and a drought in Cuba last fall cut sugar cane growth, result ing in a shortage of 700,000 tons in the 1945 crop. The sugar beet crop also suffered n 1943 and 1944 because of a paucity of labor which brought a combined crop in yield for the two years of a million tons. Shipments to liberated European countries this year have been es timated at 1,500,000 tons, and 1,200,000 tons is the amount es timated for military needs this year. This leaves 5,000,000 tons for civilians, as compared with a nor mal peace-time consumption of 7,500,000 tons in this country. The shortage is most critical in the eastern United States since this section is dependent almost exclusively on cane sugar from Cuba. Beet sugar has been shipped as far east as Ohio and Indiana to ease the shortage in the Mid West but the expense of shipping prohibits sending it any further East. The best sugar yield has been better by 200,000 tons this year. Department of Agriculture figures show. Imports of raw cane sugar are expected to be in excess of 4,720, 000 next year as compared to an anticipated total of 3,950,000 tons this year. While cane sugar production is increasing in Cuba and Puerto Rico, main sources of this country European demands will continue to cut into this country's supply, according to Willett & Gray, sugar statisticians, of 140 Front Street, since European sources in the Ukraine and Java are still in poor shape because of the war. Another important United Stales source, the Philippines, is out of production. Pfc. Robt. W. Burgess Discharged After 26 Months Overseas Private First Class Robert W.
