U. S, Consumption Enormous.
It ls not ordinarily realized, perhaps,
that the United States is an enormous
consumer of macaroni and similar
foodstuffs. Our imports classified as
macaroni, for the year 1914 from all
countries, amounted to 125,483,413
pounds, a substantial gain over 1911,
when the amount totalled 114,096,110
pounds. The greater bulk of these
shipments came from Italy and France.
Our own macaroni exports, largely to
Italy, Cuba and Mexico, amounted,, in
1914, to only 51,132 pounds.
Undoubtedly the great war in Europe
will have a stimulating effect upon the
macaroni, noodle and alphabet indus
try. Imports in these necessities of life
have been largely shut off by reason
of the difficulty of sectoring transpor
tation as well as by reason of the gen*
eral bottling up of the nations involved
in the struggle. This, apparently, is
the time of all times for the American
Macaroni and Xoodle Trust to get
together with the government, secure
immunity from being broken on the
wheel of the Sherman* law aa a trust.
