“WORK DEMANDS CALORIES”
MISGIVINGS OF BRITISH MEDICAL PAPER LONDON, August 26. “The British people are faced with a fresh instalment of wholly abominable Daltonian austerity, this time of unknown intensity or duration,” says the “Medical Press and Circular” in a leading article. “The Prime Minister’s contention that we shall work, in future, from a sense of social duty rather than motives of personal gain is, unhappily, disputable. What is beyond dispute is that work demands calories and that calories demand food. ”We remain convinced of the accuracy of Dr. Frank Bicknell’s diagnosis that the population as a whole, and manual workers in particular, are not getting enough food to enable them to do a hard day’s work.” Dr. Bicknell, a West End specialist, wrote in the May issue of the “Medical Press and Circular” that England was dying from starvation.
