SUGAR AND WAR.
INGREDIENTS OF EXPLOSIVES. LONDON, April 4. Britain is viewing the international sugar conference with an eye to wartime need of the ingredients of explosives, the "Daily Express" says. Sugar is easily converted into glycerine and alcohol,- which are important elements in the manufacture of explosives, it is pointed out. For this reason, the "Daily Express" declares, the Government attaches extraordinary importance to the conference. Britain, it is understood, will not agree to any restrictions upon the sugar production of the Dominions and colonies. Sir Leonard Lyle, head of Tate and Lyle, a £6,000,000 sugar company, has issued a statement opposing restriction of production. The Federal Treasurer, Mr. Casey, anticipates that there will be strong dissension among delegates.
