UNITED STATES WILL DE- CREASE USE OF COFFEE By PAUL SANDERS assy Ansociated Prexay RIO DE JANEIRO, May 5.— Whatever beer’s return means to the United States, it has put an- other wrinkle in Brazil’s brow. It is taken for granted here that beer’s comeback there will cause a slight reduction in ¢offee con- sumption because the American takes his coffee with his meal rather than after it, and he isn’t likely to drink beer and coffee at the same time. Any reduction in American cof- fee consumption will be: felt, be- cause the United States is the big- gest customer. The coffee, prgb- lem causes as many nightmares as ever. £ 2 § i Huge Surplus In Sight World production for the next crop year is estimated at more than 13,000,000 sacks above world consumption. Since Brazil, the largest producer, holds the bag for most of the excess stocks, 13,000,- } Jj {000 sacks piled on top of 21,000,- 000 on hand at the beginning of 1932 means an excess load of about 4,500,000,000. pounds.
