BRITAIN’S FAT RATION
GERMAN PROCESS TO BE EXAMINED
SHORTAGE OF WHEAT (Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON, March 1. ‘How to maintain the fat ration at 7oz a week is causing the Minister of Food (Sir Ben Smith) increasing concern,” says “The Times.” “Among ways and means the Minister is considering is the process which the Germans before the war, and increasingly during the war. converted mineral oils into fatty acids suitable for the manufacture of soap. “The Minister has asked the Control Office for Germany and Austria for a report on the process and details of the position, condition, and capacity of the factories used for this purpose. “The lack of wheat also continues to cause anxiety, and while many tearooms and restaurants have helped considerably, unless there is a better, general response to the Minister’s appeal to serve bread only when asked for, he may have to consider prohibiting the serving of bread with main meals.”
