WHERE THE SUGAR GOES.
A great London caterer feeds 40,000 working people every day, and he ordered an enormous quantity of sugar from the Philippines. It came here at tremendous hazard ; it reached our docks in spite of submarines, and i.s owner sent to the docks to fetch it. Rut the sugar was held back from him, and he was given this note:— “Port of London Authority, “March 3, 1017. “The annexed order cannot be executed for the following reason: ‘Delivery of this sugar stopped hv Food Controller, unless for brewers. If for brewers, certificate to that effect required.’ ” The “Daily News” (London) asks: “How long is oui food to be stolen from the people and given to the brewers? The 10,000,000 barrels of beer >till to be allowed will waste up sugar enough to last all our children under six for six months, and bread enough to last them still longer. So the Government throws away the reserve s*rength of our children at a time when famine looms ahead.”— “The Spectator,” June, 1917.
