ON RATIONS
LONDON'S TEN MILLION
SCHEME NOW IN OPERATION.
Cpdbushed in the times.)
LONDON, 24th February. The experiment of rationing London's ten million will start to-morrow. It is anxiously awaited. There have been long queues for securing the necessary tickets, and also enormous queues throughout the day at the butchers and grocers, who are endeavouring to increase their stocks before rationing becomes effective.
(AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CAHLH ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, 25tli February. In connection with the rationing, tho problem of soldiers on leave has been satisfactorily solved by the institution of a special meat ration of eight ounces daily. It has been found impossible to allow the neavy workers a bigger ration without unduly restricting the whole of the population, but an additional allowance for' the heavy workers will be regarded as a first necessity when supplies, increase.
