FOOD SHORTAGES
CONTINUATION AFTER WAR
LONDON, January 20. Britain's Food Minister stated today that food shortages must continue for some time after the war. Europe was never self-sufficient in food, he said. Her production had declined considerably since the German occupation. In dairy produce and meat the shortage was bound to continue for some time. Cattle breeding had suffered. There would be a tight period, and certainly until we disposed of the Far East war. The food front, which must be held at all costs, would be with us until the fighting fronts.were finished, but tlie will to overcome shortages must go on unselfishly. If the food management plans set up at Atlantic City were allowed to continue during the critical shortage period, he believed there would be freedom from want.
