ff AR FOOD RULE USED TO A VERT SUGAR FAME \Wilson Transfers Adminis-trado- n Authority to ' Palmer. p OBTAIN CUBAN CROP present Shortage Laid to tho Abrupt Enforcement of Prohibition. WAsmsaroK, Nv- - 21f President Wilson y placed tho Government .1. i. nnfrni of tho nation's food supply by transferring tho authority of food aaminwiruuuu iu i\\ur General IHlmer. Revival of tho war tlmo functions of Administrator Hoover resulted di- rectly from Government efforts to avert a famine in sugar, but tho pow- ers delegated to tho head of tho De- partment of Justice will bo used also to help put down tho ever mounting cost of living.

Plain, tentatively decided upon, pro- vide tor Increasing tho price of all eugar, excepting the Louisiana crop, for nhl:h a price of 17 cents already las been fixed, to 12 cents a pound, wholesale. Through this Increase now socurces of lupply are expected to be opened. With assurance that a fair margin of profit, said to be about U,54 a hundreiN pounds, would De auowea, sugar renners tro ready to enter tho Cuban markets and purchaso all available stocks, It iri dated, Tims, officials believe, the Increased price will avert a shortage which threatens to become a famine during; the next sixty days. Immediate action also In contemplated In curtailing the consumption of sugar ty manufacturers whose products are not regarded as essential food. This will apply particularly to soft drink dealers and candy manufacturers. Tho tbormal Increase of sales of these art- icles and the consequent heavy drain on the sugar supplies Is traceable, offi- cials declared, to the enforcement of prohibition. While it has not been definitely det- ermined, the cut in sugar supplies to these classes of trade probably will be about 60 per cent. OITIcIals Indicated that It the exigencies of the situation de- manded they would roduco tho allowance to soft drink and candy plants to 23 per cent of their normal requirements. Itellef Dnr 'roniCnliii. Arrangements have been completed, eubject .to changing conditions of the E'jgar situation, whereby beet ano cane sugar refiners will enter tho Cuban markets Immediately. Tho department, however, will exact a signed agreement with firms ontcrlng that trade to con-flg- a all of their purchases to this coun- try. This will mean that American dealers will get a large proportion of the 4.000,000 tons of raw sugar yet available In Cuba, officials said. Normal consumption of sugar In tho United States is about 4,000,000 tons. In other years about 3,000,000 tons was Imported from tho Cuban fields, to which was added the average production of approximately 1,000,000 tons of na- tive grown, but officials were nlarmed lest European dealers should continue their heavy purchases, already In excess of 1,000,000 tons. In Cuban markets nnd deprive this country of the full supply It usually gets there. Tho re- finers who have agreed to go Into the Cuban trade have been urged. It was fald, to use all haste, that the stocks nay not be exhausted before this nat- ion Is supplied. The danger of a sugar famine will be greatest next month. It was said, 'as stocks are rapidly being depleted and In many sections already exhausted, ar4 the necessity for garnering all avail- able supplies from outside becomes dally mors urgent WHEAT EMBARGOES END AFTER 2 YEARS Barnes Says the Mills Are Now Amply Supplied.. Julius H. Barnes. Federal wheat di- rector, announced yesterday that, effec- tive December 13, the export and Import embargoes on whoat and wheat flour' will bo lifted by tho Government, Prcsl. dent Wilson signed yesterday a proc- lamation terminating tho embargo con- trol which has keen In effort for more than two years, first under the War Trade Board and then under tho wheat guarantee law. Mr, Barnes said tho action was a step In the reconstruction of trado fa- cilities broken by the war. Until ocean transport conditions and disorganized International financial conditions Im- prove, he said, the Grain Corporation will contlnuo to soil from Its stocks of wheat and wheat flour to the foreign trade that Is not supplied by privato business Initiative, lie added: 'This release of embargo permits Canadian wheat and wheat flour to en- ter American ports free of duty under rulings of the customs service. It Is that this will enlarge greatly the American supply of spring wheat flours largely used by the baking trades.\ Sales of the Grain Corporation from Its accumulated stocks, largely In West- ern markets, to American mills have amounted to about 30,000,000 bushels. Mr, Barnes said that the mills In all sections of tho country are now amply supplied with wheat, although there Is a scarcity of some particular grades.
