RATIONING OF MEAT
Coupons For Australia MELBOURNE, September 22. Civilian rationing of meat by coupon will be introduced in Australia in the near future. The ration will at least be equal to Canada’s 21b. a person weekly, which is much higher than in most warring countries. Meat production in Australia is not keeping pace with the demand. The latest estimates indicate that next year's requirements, based on normal civilian consumption, will be one-third higher than the probable production. The authorities emphasize that Britain needs every ounce of meat which Australia can send her, and that huge quantities have to be supplied to the fighting forces in the South.-west and South Pacific. Australian and American soldiers cat about lib. of meat each day.
