| Description | Prepared for the Food (War) Committee. Notes the value of sugar as a highly concentrated foodstuff, of great value to those in the munitions and manual industries -- that wheat flour must still take priority but that sugar should be imported unless there is critical shortage -- weighs the options of tonnage and shipping through 'danger zones' -- recommends the priority of sugar in condensed milk and the prohibition of cheap sweets sold to 'munitions girls.' Rough draft and two copies (a-c). |
