BRITISH WOMEN DEMONSTRATE
(Rec. 7.30 p.m.) LONDON. May 26. British housewives, carrying sandwich boards demanding more sugar, paraded outside the Colonial Office today when the West Indies sugar delegation began talks with the Minister of Food (Mr Maurice Webb).
The delegation is making fresh attempts to persuade the British ’Government to give a guaranteed market for more West Indies sugar from 1953 than Britain has agreed to take. The housewives' posters stated: “We want more sugar. With your help the British colonies could supply it.” The housewives tried to hand a pamphlet to Mr Webb when he arrived. but he got inside the building before they could reach Him.
