“ TOO L IT T L E and TOO L A T E ” PO LIC Y
HAS GIVEN US OUR SUGAR SHORTAGE
Jerome North Side News
The national sweet-tooth will have to be Till
ed with something besides sugar, for we are
told that America must get along on a million
fewer tons this year than last year...and we
don’t recall any sugar surplus last year either.
Lack of sugar is certain to affect home canning,
a vital war-time food project.
This distressing Situation no doubt could
have been prevented had official Washington
been sympathetic toward the western sugar
beet industry. Despite all that sugar beets mean
to the west, the industry has been an unwanted
step-child o f the “ planners” , who have argued
these many years that we should buy our sweets
in Cuba, the Philippines and elsewhere in order
to boost overseas trade and raise living stand
ards there. Just another case of being a world
wide good neighbor and penalizing the home
folks.
Beet growers in this area well remember what
scant support the crop received from govern
ment agencies as recently as 1943, long after
the Phipippines were lost. They just couldn’t
change their thinking habits of long standing.
This year, with a critical shortage of sugar fac
ing the nation, the government put some pusn
and encouragement behind the sugar industry
to help promote the growing o f beets. But they
were far too late, for the roots of the present
sugar shortage extend back several years. If
the supply o f domestic sugar is to improve in
1946, the foundation for greater production
must be laid now.
Long ago a wise man, none other than Thom
as Jefferson, sagely remarked: “ If we were
told from Washington when to sow and when
to leap, we would soon want bread.”
