SUGAR RATION
Sir,—Two reports appear in “The Press’’ to-day, one from Washington, United States, the other from London, dealing with the acute food position and stating that there is insufficient food in the world to-day to meet the barest needs of the people. Both reports emphasise that one of the worst shortages is in sugar. Why, then, is New Zealand in a position to make a full restoration both of the weekly ration and for jam and marmalade and to manufacturers, and in addition what seems an entirely new concession’ in another direction? •It seems most grossly unfair that New Zealand should have all this while millions in other countries (mostly our Allies who took their full part in winning the war) are dying of starvation. May I suggest that the Hon. D. G. Sullivan (Minister of Supply) be respectfully asked to explain—not merely as regards New Zealand, but from a world standpoint.—Yours, etc., GEORGE INGRAM, September 19, 1945.
