We Canadians, together with the citizens of the United States and Great Britain, will eat less sugar during the balance of 1945. To meet our own needs and the urgent requirements of our Allies and the liberated countries, our share of the reduction must total nearly 200,000,000 pounds of sugar during the rest of the year. To assure fair distribution of what is left, the sugar ration is to be cut by five pounds during the next seven months by reducing the monthly allotment to one pound in June, July, August, October and December. In September and November, the allowance will remain unchanged at two pounds, The ten pound sugar allotment for home canning, represented by twenty extra preserves coupons, remains unchanged. Two regular preserves coupons will continue to become valid each month. ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT SUGAR Q. How does Canada get its share of world sugar supplies? A. World stocks are pooled by the Combined Food Board of the United Nations which allots sugar to Canada, United States and Great Britain on a uniform per capita basis. ^ t of the world sugar A. To other claimants, including liberated areas, European neutrals, Russia, the Middle East, New Zealand and other sugar-importing countries. Approximately one-half of this total is destined for liberated areas. Q. Is there less sugar in the world today? A. Yes. Because needs are up and production is down, world sugar stocks reached a new low at the beginning of 1945. By the end of the year, they will be down again, this time to a dangerous minimum. Q. Why is there more demand for sugar? A. The rising demand largely reflects the needs of liberated areas. Q. Why is there less production? A. World sugar output is lower for these reasons: 1. Enemy occupation of some sources such as lava and the Philippines. Java, of course, is still in Japanese hands and, although the Philippines are liberated, production is not expected to be restored until late in 1946. 2. Other export countries have experienced serious shortages of labour and fertilizer. 3. Record drought conditions and hurricanes have also cut into production in the important West Indian area. INDUSTRIAL AND QUOTA USERS WILL ALSO GET LESS Effective July 1, 1945, sugar made available to industrial users, such as bakers, biscuit and breakfast cereal manufacturers, makers of soft drinks, confectionery and candy, and jam and wine manufacturers, mil again be reduced. A further cut is also being made in the aUotment to quota users, such as public eating places, while similar reductions are being made by the Armed Totees in the sugar quotas for service personnel.
