WASHINGTON, D. C., June 30.
_Public confidence in the sin-
cerity of our government’s warn-
ings about scarcities was dealt
another severe blow when stories
were widely broadcast quoting
sugar refiners and producers who
says that the present supply of
sugar is far above normal.
Sugar industry experts estimate
supplies for 1942 will be about
400,000 tons greater than 1941.
They fear that unless rationing is
liberalized and sugar moved
quickly, they won’t be able to
handle the new Cuban crop and
the domestic beet-sugar crop.
Although perhaps this unex-
pected situation could not be an-
ticipated, the news has unfor-
tunately put the government in
the position of having turned in
a serious false alarm.
Already, it is pointed out,
thousands of tons of strawberries
have gone to rot because of the
difficulties of obtaining sugar for
pres< rving, yet it is possible that
part of the large quantities of
surplus sugar will be destroyed
unless plans are made immediately
for moving it from overcrowded
warehouses and from open lots
where it is
stored.

Public reaction to all govern-
ment actions, experts here say, is
now following a fairly clear pat-
tern. It has been found that the
people are perfectly willing to
but sentiment was quickly revers-1
ed when Tobruk was captured by
the Germans.
One thing which surprises con-
gressmen is the apparent lack of
interest in how the government
spends money. The people will
object strongly to stories of prof-
iteering, but there is little crit-
icism of record appropriations
and expenditures, so long as they
have a “needed for war” tag on
them.
Many suggestions are received
on the subject of taxation, but
most are based on ways of in- ^
creasing government income and
there is comparatively little op-
position to increased taxes of
some kind. The people in gener-
al have taken it for granted that
taxes must be increased. ;

Edited by Ellery Queen,
famous detective of the ra-
dio; the movies, and best-
seller books, it is devoted
exclusively to the best in de-
tective crime short-story
literature. The fact that a
story owes its plot to crime
and detection need not pre-
vent its being well written.
Short detective fiction that
is well written is not too
readily available. But we
are finding them—in books,
in magazines, in the files
of famous authors—and by
arrangement with other
publishers as well as with
authors, we reprint in the
approved Reader’s Digest
manner the best detective
fiction to be procured.
Such masters as Dashiell
Hammett, Agatha Christie,
Stuart Palmer and F.llegy
Queen are to be found in it.
But stories are selected on
their merits, not on au-
thor’s names. Tough and
suave, casual and swift,
romic and tragic, they are
mingled with refreshing va-
riety and stimulating change
of pace. Rare germs, fit for
the most critical, delightful
to the most naive. You will
find the new magazine well
printed—sharp and clear,
kind to the eyes. You will
find the size same as The
Reader’s Digest—conven-

slip into your pocket. You
will find the cover as pleas-
