WHEAT
Sir,—A complete change in British public opinion regarding the chances of a war with Russia has taken place. From a conviction that war was most unlikely, it is, now feared that such a calamity may befall us. The horror of such a thing it is almost impossible to imagine. However, in view of the danger, I am tempted to inquire what would be our position here in the matter of food supplies. We could not expect importations to continue, for all shipping would be urgently needed elsewhere. We would no doubt have ample supplies of meat and butter, but what about bread? This would be, under present conditions, a very scarce commodity. Should not, therefore, something be done about it while there is yet time? — Yours, etc., GROW MORE WHEAT. July 21. 1948.
